Coaching Services
Specialized Support for Every Season of Life
Nine evidence-based coaching approaches, each tailored to meet you exactly where you are.
Dion's coaching practice draws from eleven professional certifications and 450+ hours of specialized training. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, ADHD, or a deeper search for purpose, there is a pathway designed for your journey.
All services are available in-person in Cambridge, Maryland or virtually.
Trauma Healing Coaching
Moving Through, Not Around
Trauma leaves its mark on the nervous system, on identity, and on the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve. Trauma Healing Coaching provides a safe, structured, and compassionate space to process what happened — and to begin the journey toward freedom and wholeness.
This coaching is for you if:
- You carry the weight of past experiences that still affect your daily life
- You feel stuck, numb, or disconnected from yourself or others
- You want to heal without being re-traumatized in the process
Approach: Trauma-informed, somatic-aware, and paced entirely by you.
Grief Coaching
Honoring What Was. Finding Your Way Forward.
Grief is not a problem to be solved — it is a testament to love. Whether you are grieving the loss of a person, a relationship, a career, a dream, or a version of yourself, Grief Coaching offers compassionate support that honors the depth of your loss while gently helping you find your footing again.
This coaching is for you if:
- You have experienced a significant loss and feel unsupported
- You feel pressure to 'move on' before you are ready
- You want to grieve well — not just get through it
Approach: Non-prescriptive, non-linear, and deeply respectful of your unique grief journey.
ADHD Coaching
Working With Your Brain, Not Against It
ADHD is not a character flaw — it is a different operating system. ADHD Coaching provides practical strategies, empathetic guidance, and a judgment-free space to build the focus, structure, and confidence that help you thrive in a world not always designed for your mind.
This coaching is for you if:
- You struggle with focus, follow-through, or time management
- You feel like you are always behind or letting people down
- You want strategies that actually work for your brain
Approach: Strengths-based, practical, and grounded in how ADHD actually works.
ACT Coaching
Clarify Your Values. Commit to What Matters.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-informed coaching helps you stop fighting your inner experience and start moving toward the life you actually want. By clarifying your values and building psychological flexibility, ACT Coaching helps you take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings.
This coaching is for you if:
- You feel paralyzed by anxiety, self-doubt, or difficult emotions
- You know what you want but can't seem to move toward it
- You want to live more intentionally and less reactively
Approach: Values-driven, present-focused, and action-oriented.
Neuroscience-Based Coaching
Rewire. Rebuild. Renew.
Your brain is not fixed — it is changeable. Neuroscience-Based Coaching harnesses the science of neuroplasticity to help you identify and shift the thought patterns, habits, and beliefs that are keeping you stuck. This approach bridges the gap between understanding and lasting behavioral change.
This coaching is for you if:
- You keep repeating the same patterns despite wanting to change
- You want to understand why you think and behave the way you do
- You are ready to do the work of genuine, lasting change
Approach: Science-informed, practical, and focused on sustainable transformation.
Positive Psychology Coaching
Build on What's Already Strong
Positive Psychology Coaching shifts the focus from what is wrong to what is right — amplifying your strengths, cultivating resilience, and helping you design a life rich in meaning, engagement, and well-being. This is not toxic positivity. It is the science of human flourishing.
This coaching is for you if:
- You want to move from surviving to truly thriving
- You feel like you have more to offer than your current life reflects
- You want to build resilience and a deeper sense of well-being
Approach: Strengths-based, evidence-backed, and deeply affirming.
Ikigai Purpose Coaching
Discover Your Reason for Being
Ikigai — the Japanese concept of 'reason for being' — sits at the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Ikigai Purpose Coaching guides you through a deep exploration of these four dimensions to help you find your unique calling.
This coaching is for you if:
- You feel like something is missing, even when life looks good on paper
- You are at a crossroads and need clarity about your next chapter
- You want to align your work and life with your deepest values
Approach: Reflective, exploratory, and deeply personal.
Transformational Coaching
Become Who You Were Always Meant to Be
Transformational Coaching goes beyond behavior change to identity-level work — shifting how you see yourself, what you believe is possible, and who you are becoming. This is deep, sustained coaching for people who are ready to do the real work of becoming.
This coaching is for you if:
- You are ready for a fundamental shift, not just surface-level change
- You want to become the person you know you are capable of being
- You are committed to doing the deep, honest work
Approach: Identity-focused, holistic, and committed to lasting change.
Creative Arts Life Coaching
Unlock What Words Alone Cannot Reach
Some of the most profound breakthroughs happen not through conversation alone, but through creative expression. Art Life Coaching integrates visual arts, journaling, and expressive modalities into the coaching process — helping you access deeper layers of self-awareness, process emotions that resist language, and discover clarity through creativity.
This coaching is for you if:
- You feel stuck and traditional talk-based approaches haven't fully unlocked your growth
- You want to explore your inner world through creative expression and reflection
- You are drawn to a coaching experience that engages both mind and imagination
Approach: Expressive, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based arts therapy principles.
