Hey, I’m Darby.

I’m an ICF trained coach with decades of experience as a professional problem solver (math teacher and mediator).

Questioning, listening, thinking, and connecting ideas are my superpowers.

Let me help you to know yourself better.

I get it. I have been there, both personally and as a professional working with clients and students. I know what it is like to only be able to focus on getting basic needs met, especially feeling safe and regulated. I know larger goals, like learning, growing, and resolving conflicts could not happen without tending to basic needs first. Coaching can help you figure out how to get your (or your client’s) needs met.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION…

Do you feel like conflict or trauma is causing overwhelm in you or the people you work with?

Feel stuck in survival mode?

What if you could…

  • create a calm life

  • live with less stress

  • ease out of fight, flight, or freeze

You totally can. I can get you started and help you along the way.

My coaching services, programs, and resources are designed for you. They will help you find and create your own way and help you to remain curious about your experiences instead of being swept away in them. They will help you to regain control over your choices and give you peace of mind. Imagine moving forward with clarity and confidence!
