Meet Your Professional Coaching Expert

I believe everyone can achieve meaningful change, even when feeling stuck in difficult life transitions. My goal is to help you move forward with a respectful, understanding, and collaborative approach.

My Background & Experience

I'm Dr. Billups, and I bring decades of professional experience to my coaching practice.

Training

I earned my major in educational psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University, followed by a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Virginia Consortium for Clinical Psychology. My training included specialized concentrations and an internship in behavioral medicine at Eastern Virginia Graduate School of Medicine

Clinical Psychology

Before focusing on coaching, I had a thriving clinical psychology practice. I specialized in trauma resolution and had the privilege of working with over 6,000 patients across the Chesapeake Bay country of Eastern Virginia.

Professional Coaching

Now, as a professional coach, I focus on helping you successfully navigate challenging life stages in academics, career, and relationships. I use innovative strategies to ensure you achieve lasting results.

Integrity, compassion, and continuous improvement define my services.

  • I let your goals guide the sessions and strive to develop the best path for you.

  • I ensure you feel heard and prepared to succeed in achieving your personal and professional objectives.

  • I continually seek new insights in life coaching so you can move confidently toward your goals.

  • Enjoying the coastal beauty and lifestyle of Virginia and North Carolina.

  • Supporting the important mission of rescue dogs.

  • Watching films by directors like the Coen Brothers and Wes Anderson.

  • Exploring food as a self-described “foodie.”
