Hi, I’m Luella
As a licensed psychotherapist turned coach, I’ve spent decades guiding men and women toward personal and professional fulfillment. Since opening my private practice in 1997, I’ve specialized in helping people leap from good to great — a shift that profoundly impacts relationships.
I work with individuals on their relationships.
I work with business owners, entrepreneurs, and founders who seek clarity and resilience as they follow their passions.
My mission is to take you from satisfactory to spectacular, from fair to fabulous, helping you uncover the strengths you might not see in yourself. Together, we’ll move beyond mediocrity and toward meaningful change.
It’s time to leave the winding road behind and step onto a clear path toward your success—because your success is my business.
Discover how business-minded people find inner peace by harmonizing work and family without the pressure to ‘balance’ them. My motto: ‘You can do both.’
My podcast focuses on normalizing the struggle individuals go through via storytelling. As a business owner for most of my life, I have a special interest in interviewing guests with similar higher moral pursuits. Topics will range from building better relationships to building better businesses, and ultimately a better world.
If you or if you know someone who would be able to share their story, please reach out to me directly.
Luella has a terrific way of communicating with people of different personalities, both men and women, in a way that instills confidence and trust. She made it easy for me to open up to her about my troubles and feelings with compassion and understanding. For myself, it made it that much easier for us to navigate through my problems together toward healthy solutions. Luella truly helped me and I learned that I didn’t have to suffer alone.
I reached out to Luella at a point where I had been working on myself but needed to work on myself as a business leader. I needed to figure out where even to start. When we first met, I didn’t know what I needed or where to start. By the end of the first session, I had unloaded years of frustration and uncertainty about the future of my business and life in general. We navigated through some challenging obstacles over the four months we worked together. In each session, I came away with a practical sense of how to move forward. Over the months, I was able to build a plan to develop myself not only as the business leader that I wanted to become but also gain a sense of confidence that I had never had before. I think it would be summarized as “Luella helped me become the best version of myself”.
One of the first things I told Luella is “I dont want to be divorced”. At the time, seeing divorce equivalent to failure. Through Luella’s coaching, I was able to name and recognize my fears of the ‘d’ word and get to the bottom of the unhappiness and desperation I was feeling.
Through individual and group sessions with and without my ex, the veil was lifted to the reality of my marriage. I was with a man who was unfazed when I left the relationship. He did not see my value or my contributions to our business and life we had built together. I can now reflect and accept my own part in allowing my previous relationship to shrink my potential under his coersive control.
I am grateful for the guidance that gave back my power. With Luella’s help, I was able to see through the gaslighting, and was given strategies to regulated my emotional distress.
It has been over 2 years since I was strong enough to take the steps to leave an abusive relationship. Opportunity flowed towards me once I set up unapologetic, healthy boundaries.
I have reconnected with my family and many friends that I had previously been isolated from. I now have a healthy partnership, where respect, communication and connection is prioritized and reciprocated. I found my dream job and am thriving. The respect and purpose I find in all areas of my life now, allows me to truely appreciate how far I have come.
Thank you for the support and words I needed to hear, when I needed them the most.
