The holidays are supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year—a magical season of joy, generosity, and closeness. But for the recovering people-pleaser, this season of heightened expectations and endless obligations can feel more like a test of your fortitude than a celebration of peace and goodwill. I created The Recovering People-Pleaser's Holiday Survival Guide to help you navigate the holiday season with greater authenticity and self-compassion.
Protect your energy
What if you could finally break free from the people-pleasing, self-doubt, and exhaustion that have kept you stuck for so long?
Just imagine...
Waking up each morning feeling deeply connected to your own needs, sense of purpose, and boundaries.
Navigating even your most challenging relationships with clarity, kindness, and unshakeable self-worth.
Transforming your sensitivity and big feelings into your greatest strengths.
Knowing deep in your bones that you are worthy of love, respect, and care—no matter what.
Becoming the most authentic, empowered, and joyful version of yourself, and inspiring others to do the same.
Like you, I spent decades putting others' needs before my own. After almost 20 years of leadership roles and a lifetime’s worth of plot twists in my personal life, I made the empowering decision to seek greater meaning and purpose in my work, helping others to reconnect with their authentic selves and discover the joy, peace, and clarity that comes with finally identifying and prioritizing your own needs.
In addition to my certification as a professional life coach, I hold a MS in Psychology from Arizona State University and a certificate in wellness counseling from Cornell University, and my coaching work is informed by two years of intensive training in clinical mental health counseling. Specialty areas include: women's mental health, LGBTQIA+, high-control religious and professional environments, entrepreneurship, chronic illness, navigating adult life with autism and/or ADHD.
Together, let’s find the joy and clarity that’s been missing in your life.
Hi, I'm Kelly.

My coaching philosophy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and incorporates concepts borrowed from Internal Family Systems, Co-Active Coaching, and somatic work. While the work we do together is not psychotherapy (my role is not to diagnose or treat mental illness), the pace and rhythm of my coaching sessions are very similar to what you would experience in a therapist’s office. And—like a good therapist—I dig deep.
I believe that absolute clarity and skillful pattern recognition are essential for achieving lasting change. For that reason, we explore parts of you that are perhaps not readily accessible—the parts that trip you up unexpectedly, keep you from reaching your potential, and prevent you from showing up fully and authentically for your own life.
It is through this simple, but highly personalized process that we will:
-
Cut through the noise and overwhelm to uncover your deepest needs and what's keeping you from meeting them.
-
Identify your strengths and how you can use them to break destructive patterns in your life.
-
Add joy, peace, and tangible progress to your daily life.
-
Celebrate your victories and troubleshoot roadblocks.
Here's how we'll do it.
