Meet Dr. Nakumbe
Grounded. Unshaken. Strategic.
Coaching that makes hard things make sense.
I help adults, couples, and professionals untangle emotional chaos, rebuild broken communication, and regain clarity through life’s hardest transitions.
With over 20 years in behavioral health and education, I specialize not only in trauma, stress, addiction recovery, and burnout—but also in guiding clients, clinicians, professionals through the most difficult conversations around shame, distorted narratives, deviance, and power dynamics. My approach is direct, trauma-informed, and culturally attuned—no sugarcoating, no psychobabble.
As an international speaker, humorist, and author, I bring clarity and connection to taboo topics with empathy, realness, and a touch of lightness—even when the work goes deep.
This is real-world coaching for people and professionals who are ready to name the unsayable, feel seen, and move forward with purpose.

Why I Do This Work
Too many people spend years in therapy or mandated services without ever getting to the root of their problem. They keep circling the same issue, feeling exhausted, ashamed, or like the system failed them.
I’ve seen clients lose jobs, face repeated court hearings, or sabotage relationships — not because they didn’t care, but because they didn’t understand why they kept defaulting to the same pain, chaos, or behaviors.
I coach to stop the spinning.
My mission is to help people finally connect the dots — to understand what’s really driving their patterns, and to take clear, strategic steps forward. With tools, truth, and a steady hand, I help people move from confusion to clarity… without years of therapy.
