My Journey to You

Bold coffee in my mug, statement earrings (oversized, always!), and an open heart ready to listen. That's me—an ambivert who married her high school best friend and raised two amazing humans who'll forever be my "kiddos."

Here's what I know about transitions: we're all works in “process”, and that's not a weakness—it's the point. I hired my first life coach because I needed to learn how to show up for myself. I was excellent at seeing others' worth, but blind to my own.

I know what it feels like when life knocks you flat. Health diagnoses that change everything. Workplace discrimination that makes you feel small. Career shifts that leave you wondering "What now?" Physical limitations that force you to rewrite your story.

I've walked through my own valleys, and I've come out the other side—multiple times. That's how I know the way forward, even when you can't see it yet. I'm still "going first" in this journey, still learning and growing alongside my own coach. It's precisely because I continue to do this work that I can sit with your pain without trying to fix it too fast or offer you hollow platitudes.

As a certified Christian life coach and trauma-informed aromatherapist with CBT training, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding. I'm the guide who's been where you are and knows how to help you move through it. I haven't stopped growing—I've just learned how to navigate it.

Your story might look different than mine, but that feeling of standing at the edge of transition? I know it intimately.

“You can also find me”

When I'm not working one-on-one with clients, you can find me co-hosting The Life Coach Lounge podcast (available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube) with my dear friends Angela and Emily. Together, we create a warm, faith-filled space where midlife women can navigate life's biggest transitions - from empty nests and career pivots to rediscovering who you are in this season. It's become our favorite place for honest conversations about growth, faith, and finding your way forward.

FAQs

  • I often tell clients that therapy is like having an archaeologist - carefully excavating and examining the past to understand how you got here. Coaching is like having an architect - designing and building the life you want to create moving forward.

    While therapy explores past wounds and addresses mental health concerns, coaching focuses on navigating your current transitions, making decisions, and creating the fulfilling life you want next. As a trauma-informed coach, I honor that your past experiences have shaped you, but our work together centers on where you want to go from here.

    I'm not a licensed therapist, so if you're dealing with clinical issues that need therapeutic intervention, I'll help you find those resources. Meanwhile, I'll help you identify what's holding you back, develop strategies that work for your life, and create actionable plans to move forward with confidence.

  • Our sessions are like having coffee with a 'new' friend who leaves the floor wide open for you to talk, but will be there to ask good questions when you feel stuck on what to say, and won't let you off the hook when you're being too hard on yourself. We'll meet virtually for 45-60 minutes, typically weekly, and I'll come prepared with questions, tools, and sometimes a little homework between sessions. Expect honest conversations, gentle challenging, and practical strategies, I will make sure we practice these in the moment. Most importantly, expect to be heard without judgment and supported every step of the way.

  • This is exactly where most of my clients start, and it's the perfect place to begin. You don't need to have it all figured out or be "ready enough"—you just need to be curious. Sometimes the best thing we can do is start with "I don't know what I want, but I know something needs to change." That awareness alone tells me you're ready.

    Here's what I've learned: there are usually unprocessed emotions sitting underneath the "I don't know" and "I feel stuck." Maybe it's grief that hasn't been fully felt, anger that's been pushed down, or fear that's been dressed up as "being practical." That's exactly where I come in—to help you gently explore what's really there so you can move forward with clarity instead of staying frozen in the unknown.

    We'll explore together, one conversation at a time, at whatever pace feels safe for you.

  • My faith naturally weaves through our conversations, but I'm not here to preach or tell you how to believe. Whether you're questioning your faith, growing in it, or somewhere in between, you're welcome here. I might share a verse that speaks to your situation or invite you to consider how God might be working in your transition, but only if it feels right for you. Think of it as having a conversation with a friend who happens to love Jesus—authentic, not forced.
