Dr. Joey

I’m Joey—founder of DeepWell. I am a trauma-informed leadership coach and organizational consultant.

 

For over a decade, I served as the lead pastor of the largest congregation in our community, walking with people through crisis, doubt, burnout, and breakthrough. I hold a doctorate in Transformational Leadership. I’ve also served as a nonprofit director and college professor in communication—roles that deepened my understanding of systems, strategy, and relationships.

 

I have counseled countless people over the years, but what matters more than credentials is this: I’ve lived what I now help others navigate. People are tired of self-help gimmicks. We need solidarity.

 

I’ve known the pressure of public leadership, the weight of others’ expectations, and the quiet ache of isolation. I’ve wrestled with regret and learned that healing is not linear—but it is possible. DeepWell was born from that hard-won truth.

 

My work now centers around helping servant leaders (pastors, nurses, teachers, nonprofit workers) reclaim their health, clarity, and calling. Through 1:1 coaching and our signature REPLENISH framework, I help leaders grow in emotional maturity, navigate communication breakdowns, process trauma, prevent burnout, and rediscover joy.

 

Whether you’re in a season of crisis or simply know that something has to change—you’re not alone. There’s a deeper well within you, and it’s not empty. Let’s draw from it together.
