I am a Personal and Professional Development Coach in the Greater Seattle area with over 15 years of experience and a background in clinical psychology. I help thoughtful individuals untangle stress, perfectionism, and life transitions. Together we identify thought and behavior patterns that hold you back and create practical strategies to regain steadiness, confidence, and self-compassion.
If you feel overwhelmed, burned out, or uncertain despite your success, I guide you to move forward with clarity and inner strength so you can show up fully in your life and work.

Find clarity and resilience in life’s storms
Akeso (ah-KEE-so) is the Greek goddess of the healing process (as opposed to a cure). The name reflects my belief that meaningful change happens gradually and intentionally. Real transformation is not about quick fixes. It comes from developing self-awareness that leads to lasting growth.
In sessions, I combine curiosity, empathy, and humor with straightforward guidance. I ask questions that reveal blind spots while creating a safe, comfortable space where you can explore honestly. My practice space is designed to support focus and stability so you can concentrate on the work that matters without distractions.
What Sets This Coaching Apart:
Evidence-based guidance: Practical strategies grounded in psychology that help you untangle the patterns keeping you stuck
Multicultural and trilingual: Coaching in English, German, or French, informed by personal experience navigating different cultures
Straightforward and supportive: Honest and smart guidance with a hint of wit, without empty slogans or vague advice
Practical focus: Collaborative sessions that provide tools you can apply immediately in daily life
