Life doesn’t wait for us to have everything figured out before it changes. Sometimes it shifts slowly, and other times it feels like the ground moves overnight. You might be feeling hopeful, anxious, curious, or all of the above.
You don’t need all the answers to start moving forward. You can start where you are, and we’ll figure it out together.
Maybe change found you. Or maybe you're seeking it.
Either way, it can be really f*cking scary, especially if you're facing it alone.
I know the disorientation, uncertainty, and groundlessness change can bring, whether it's uninvited or intentional. I also know the possibility that lives within these turning points, because I’ve been through my own seasons of breaking down, rebuilding, and rediscovering who I am.
We’ll navigate the unknown and the in-between together, in a way that meets you exactly where you are.
Hello. I took this selfie while sitting in the backyard with my mom on a gloriously mild, spring day.
First of all, my name is Diorella. I’ve been through my own seasons of profound change. I've spent over a decade navigating anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia, and later walking away from an 18-year career that no longer felt like me. I know the fear, uncertainty, and groundlessness that come with sudden and unexpected shifts.
I also know the slow, messy, and ultimately transformative process of rebuilding. Those experiences taught me resilience, self-compassion, and how to navigate the space between what used to be and what's yet to come.
I work with people in life’s “in-between” spaces, when the old way no longer works, the new way isn’t clear, and you're still figuring it out. Together, we create space for clarity to emerge without forcing it.
Think of our sessions as a conversation with a thinking partner. I'm there to listen, ask questions, and help you see things from new perspectives. I’ll guide when it’s helpful, step back when you need space, and adapt to what works best for you.
I don’t hand out quick fixes or advice. I create space for you to explore your thoughts and see things in new ways.
Bringing order to chaos is my jam. My 18 years in IT honed my attention to detail and my ability to notice patterns and create structure, skills that now help me support clients through uncertain times.
I’m certified through an ICF-accredited program (ACC credential in progress). Training, integrity, and ethics greatly shape how I work. My approach is grounded in curiosity and deep listening, so you feel seen, heard, and supported.
Outside of coaching, I’m drawn to Buddhist teachings, and I find comfort in books, stillness, and British comedies.
