For reaching the best of your capabilities

Dr. Stauffer develops customized approaches that support you in reaching your aspirations. She brings the curiosity of a psychologist, a respect for your expertise and for what your life’s work means to you, and the mind of a research scientist who will apply evidence-based methodology in your behalf.

In any case, the first step is identifying what matters to you most and the designing a clear map to guide you.
