For clinicians who deliver for everyone but themselves
The follow-through you have at work, pointed at the life you actually want.
You are disciplined, capable, and trusted with high-stakes work. Yet the personal goals that matter most keep slipping. Over a focused 12-week program built on motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral methods, you take one of those goals and build the structure that finally makes it hold.
The intro call is free and takes 30 minutes.
The problem
You do not have a discipline problem.
You know the cycle. The workout routine that starts strong and quietly dies by week three. The hobby you bought all the gear for, now sitting in storage. The project you will finally start once things calm down, except things never calm down.
And every round costs something. You end up frustrated, discouraged, and quietly wondering why you can follow through for everyone else but not for yourself.
Here is the part that matters: willpower was never the issue. You already run a demanding professional life on structure, standards, and accountability. The advice aimed at people who lack discipline does not fit you.
The difference is that your work has systems behind it and your personal goals do not, so they run on motivation alone, and motivation runs out. That is a solvable problem, and it is the one this coaching solves.
The method
The Follow-Through Framework
A structured, evidence-based approach that takes the discipline you already have and points it at the goals you keep postponing. It draws on motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral methods, and on the same behavior-change research used in clinical settings.

The engagement
What the 12 weeks look like
It starts with a free call
Thirty minutes, by video. You bring the goal that keeps slipping, we map where your follow-through actually breaks down, and I give you an honest read on whether this coaching fits. There is no pitch and nothing to prepare. If coaching is not the right tool for what you are carrying, I will say so and help you find what is.
The weekly rhythm
Twelve weeks, one 60-minute video session each week. The early weeks get you clear on what you actually want and where the break point is. The middle weeks build the structure: one to three goals that matter, if-then plans for the obstacles you already know are coming, and a small commitment you review every session. The final weeks make it hold, turning what worked into habits and a written plan you keep.
Between sessions the work is deliberately small, because a plan that only works in a quiet week was never going to hold. And we track progress with brief check-ins each session, so the work steers by what is actually moving rather than by how the week felt.
What you own at the end
Three things. A clear picture of what you want and why, written in your own words. Visible progress on the goals you chose. And the framework itself: the planning tools, the tracking habit, and the recovery rules for when life interrupts, so you can point it at any goal from here on.
I take on only a few clients at a time. I coach alongside other work, and a small number is what lets each person get my full attention.

About Taylor
I became a dentist, which takes years of exactly the kind of discipline most people never sustain. So it bothered me that I could not point that same drive at the rest of my life. The goals that mattered most to me outside of work kept slipping, and for a long time I could not work out why, because the discipline was clearly there.
The clearest example was coaching itself. I would coach people for a few months, then other obligations would crowd it out and it would go quiet again. It stayed in the back of my mind for years, something I cared about and never made consistent.
What finally changed things was the gym. I started going three days a week, light weights, nothing dramatic. The rule I gave myself was simple: show up even when I did not want to, even if it was ten minutes instead of the full workout, and never miss twice. I wrote if-then plans for the obstacles I knew were coming. After months of that, working out stopped being a decision. It became a habit, and then part of how I saw myself.
That was the whole lesson. It was not more willpower. It was structure, the right approach, and following through until the behavior held on its own. So I pointed the same system at coaching, the goal that had slipped for years, and built what I needed to do it consistently. The work energizes me, which is exactly why it was worth finishing.
This practice is that system, turned outward. If you recognize the gap between how reliably you show up for your work and how often your own goals slip, that is who this is for.
Over 12 weeks, I will teach you the framework I used to close that gap, and by the end it is yours.

Proof
Results, when they are real
This practice is new. When testimonials appear in this space, they will be real, consented, and unpaid. That is the same standard the coaching itself runs on.
The Finisher Scorecard
Why do you keep not finishing?
The Finisher Scorecard is a five-minute self-assessment that scores you across the real reasons follow-through breaks down: unclear values, missing structure, fear and perfectionism, readiness, and environment. You get a tailored read on what is actually stalling you, and a sense of what would move it.
- Unclear values chasing goals that are not actually yours
- Missing structure no system that survives a bad week
- Fear and perfectionism protecting the result by never finishing it
- Readiness change you want but have not yet decided on
- Environment a setup that quietly works against you
FAQ
Common questions
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-looking and focused on goals and action, not on treating mental health conditions. If something comes up that calls for clinical care, I will say so and help you find the right support.
Who is this for?
High-performing professionals, especially clinicians, who are disciplined at work but keep stalling on personal goals.
How do sessions work?
We start with a free 30-minute intro call to see if we are a fit. From there, the coaching runs as a 12-week program with weekly 60-minute sessions, done by video call.
What happens on the intro call?
Thirty minutes on the goal that keeps slipping. You talk, I ask questions, and together we find where your follow-through breaks down. You leave with a clearer read on your own pattern whether we work together or not. There is no sales pitch and no obligation either way.
How much time does this take each week?
One 60-minute session, plus the small actions you commit to and a short weekly worksheet between sessions. Most weeks that adds up to about 20 to 30 minutes outside the session, broken into pieces small enough to survive a demanding schedule.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us, with the narrow exceptions any responsible practice carries: a risk of serious harm to you or someone else, a safeguarding concern involving a child or vulnerable adult, or a disclosure required by law. The coaching agreement you sign before we start spells these out plainly, and we walk through it together before the work begins.
