What I do
Helping high achievers create the life that they love.
I'm thrilled you've found your way to my corner of the internet.
If you’re here, it means you’re searching for something more in life, something that truly resonates with your innermost desires and ambitions. Well, you’re in the right place, and I’m here to help you navigate that journey.
I help other professionals, like you, create the life that fits them, that they love, and to address all of the things interfering with getting that life.
My goal has always been to inspire personal growth while respecting individual dignity. I challenge and encourage people to challenge their self-imposed limitations, embrace discomfort, and remain true to themselves within a safe space. This approach, grounded in authenticity and respect, consistently leads to transformative experiences.
What This Work Is Actually About
At its core, this work is about one simple truth:
It is impossible to fix an emotional issue with an intellectual solution.
Most people believe their issues are intellectual.
They think they just need to “figure it out,” try harder, or have more discipline.
But the issues that keep repeating — anxiety, relationship patterns, self-sabotage, disordered relationships with food or money, chronic dissatisfaction — are emotional, not intellectual.
- insight alone doesn’t work
- discipline alone doesn’t work
- more information doesn’t work
You have to feel it to heal it.
And until you do, you will repeat.
You will repeat until you repair.
This work is about repair — not fixing, not forcing, not overriding yourself — but repairing old wounds and repairing your relationship with yourself.
As a coach, my mission is simple
I help you recognize and embrace the significance of your life, providing the training, tools, and unwavering support to achieve your goals and more.
I also create transformative experiences that spark new possibilities. I invite you to do the work to help you uncover your inherent gift and realize the positive impact you can make on the world.
My role is to help you uncover patterns that empower you and shed light on those that hinder your growth. I’ll challenge you to expand your way of thinking and explore your full potential. Together, we’ll address visible and invisible obstacles that have been holding you back.
I’ll guide you in identifying gaps, healing old wounds, and getting in full alignment with the life you truly want. My aim is to bring you a deeper sense of inner peace, enhanced clarity about your future, and more profound connections with yourself and others.
The things that give me some credibility (hopefully)
I have always been curious about human potential and personal growth
That is one reason I got a psychology degree back in college. I also wanted to know about myself. Why I did what I did, struggled with some things and thrived in others.
I had read self help book after self help book, with no real results to show for it. I had gone to various mental health counselors and while most helped a bit, there was no real shift in my life. My thinking and behavior stayed the same. And thus my results and life stayed the same. Wherever I went, there I was, along with the same problems that kept repeating.

- I have a BA in psychology, Arizona State University 1993.
- JD from Arizona State University 1997.
- I have practiced law since 1997, family law since 2000 and know how attorneys, professionals and people think.
- I’ve had my own practice since 2000
- I have rather severe ADHD
- I have studied personal development coaching under Philip McKernan.
- I have written three Amazon best selling books, two could be classified as personal development. view them in my store
- I’ve worked directly, on personal development, with over 50 professionals (mostly attorneys). I’ve worked indirectly with hundreds.
None of that is why I am able to do what I do with people or why you should work with me. The reason I am able to do what I do is that I have done the work myself. And continue to do it every damn day.
Welcome to my world, where authenticity and self-improvement take center stage.
For most of my adult life, on the surface, my life seemed like the epitome of success. But deep down, I was a mess. My goals remained elusive, my health was suffering, genuine connections with people eluded me, and contentment and happiness were distant dreams. Unbeknownst to me, I was carrying a heavy burden of hurt and fear that poisoned every aspect of my life. I found myself trapped in a vicious cycle of self-destructive behaviors, and no matter how hard I tried to break free, I kept falling back into the same harmful patterns. I felt stuck, frustrated, scared, and worst of all, I felt like a failure. I had adopted a victim mindset, and it was suffocating me.
It took hitting rock bottom for me to finally reach a turning point. I realized I had to take a deep dive into my own inner world and confront the issues I didn’t even know were holding me back. So that’s exactly what I did. In the fall of 2018, I got serious about my own personal growth, and I’ve been on that path ever since.
The results have been nothing short of life-changing. I’ve experienced profound transformations in my own life, and I’ve witnessed these same transformations in the lives of my clients. This journey has not only allowed me to break free from my own limitations but has also given me the tools and insights to help others do the same.
And I have seen and felt the life changing benefits of this work and have fallen in love with the results. Not only in my own life, but in the lives of my clients.
Life is just 1,000 times better on the other side of this work.
How would I describe my work
A little nuro science (based on Dr. Andrew Hubberman, Dr. Gabor Mate and others); a little psychology; a little philosophy; a little whoo whoo; a little spirituality; a little common sense; and a little of my own instinct and knowledge.
The best way to know how I work and whether my work will be a fit for you or not is to try it. If you like it then keep going. If not, that is fine. I am not for everyone.
Let me help you change your mindset and create your killer mindset.
What others are saying…
Working with Brita helped me with imposter syndrome and overall courage. I tweaked my pricing and sales process with Brita’s help. In a short few weeks, I was able to reach my highest revenue month to date! Brita is compassionate, but holds your feet to the fire. If you are ready for reach change, hire her today!
After years in the rat-race of corporate America, Bill started his own law firm and was proud of his accomplishments. COVID and retirement was a double whammy that made him feel like he was adrift and without purpose. I could already see a shift after his first meeting with Brita. His mood lifted as he started to think about abandoned goals from his past. He really respected her challenging approach and was more introspective than he had been in years. Thank you, Brita, for helping him and helping us.
How I'm different
But let’s be clear: It’s not just my credentials that make me effective in helping you. What truly sets me apart is that I’ve walked the walk. Every day, I continue to do the work on myself. I understand that personal transformation is an ongoing process, and I’m committed to it. This personal commitment is what equips me to guide you on your path.
Why my coaching is so effective
The effectiveness of my coaching isn’t rooted in quick fixes or shortcuts. It’s grounded in the undeniable truth that achieving real results requires effort, courage, time, openness, and a willingness to embrace discomfort.
I specialize in teaching individuals how to recognize when they’re deceiving themselves and how to shift their thinking, leading to different behaviors and, ultimately, different outcomes. I’m here to challenge you, offer encouragement, create a safe space for growth, and provide direct guidance—without ever resorting to shaming.
But the most crucial element of my approach? I practice what I preach. My life is a testament to the principles I teach. I’m not perfect, but I strive to live in alignment with my own advice. I never ask my clients to do anything that I’m not willing to do myself.
How I work
Is this work right for you?
Let’s get down to brass tacks. Is this the right path for you? Am I the right person to guide you? Here’s how to tell:
Yes, this is right for you IF:
You recognize that you need help and are open to receiving it.
You’re ready to make a real change in your mindset and behavior.
You’re tired of putting yourself last and are ready to prioritize your life.
Perfectionism, an all-or-nothing mindset, or your current way of living is hindering your life goals.
You know which habits would support you but struggle to implement them.
You’re ready to redefine success beyond money, fame, status, or power.
No, this isn't right for you IF:
You’re searching for a quick fix or shortcut instead of a long-term, permanent transformation.
You believe you already have all the answers.
You’re not willing to take full accountability for your behavior.
You’re looking for mere motivation or empty platitudes.
You want a guru to make decisions for you or indulge in wishful thinking.
You’re not prepared to invest the time, money, or energy required to do the work.
You’re not ready to embrace discomfort as part of your growth process.
You’re not willing to be brutally honest with yourself.
If you find yourself in the “yes” category, I invite you to take the next step on your transformational journey. Let’s work together to unlock your true potential and create a life you genuinely love.
Life is just 1,000 times better on the other side of this work.
