IFS Coach in California
My name is Douglas, and I’m working virtually with professionals across the globe. I guide you in uncovering the parts of yourself that feel at odds, the voice pushing for change, and the one holding back. Instead of forcing a breakthrough, we bring these inner voices into alignment with your deeper values, so progress feels natural rather than exhausting.
With over 20 years of experience supporting people through life’s transitions, I offer a space where clarity surfaces, resistance softens, and forward momentum becomes effortless.[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” button_id=”b1″ text=”Work with Douglas” url=”https://dpnelson.com/about-douglas/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f6f3ec” scene_position=”center” text_color=”custom” custom_text_color=”#2f2f3f” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”s2″ disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”c1″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”28″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”zoom” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” el_class=”m1″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”c2″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”t1″ text_direction=”default”]
My Approach:
Alignment, Not Overhaul
My name is Douglas. I’m a coach. I work virtually with professionals worldwide.
I help you identify the different aspects of yourself that are in conflict—those pushing for change and those resisting it. By bringing these inner voices into alignment with your core values, we create momentum without the exhaustion of fighting yourself.
With over 20 years helping people navigate transitions, I create a space where clarity emerges and forward movement becomes natural.
Why Work with an
Certified IFS Coach
On paper, life looks good: career, relationships, milestones. Yet deep down, there’s a gap. A missing sense of meaning, direction, or wholeness.
Transformation doesn’t start with a breakdown; it starts with a clear, honest moment. As your IFS therapy coach, I help you explore the inner parts of yourself that feel in conflict and bring them into alignment with your core values.[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large”
