My experience with life coaching began years ago and I didn’t even realize it. I have been a military spouse for over 17 years, and I have been involved in various ministries for years before that. My husband is an Army Chaplain, so I found myself – unknowingly – coaching others in various capacities: Bible studies, parenting, marriage. It was 2019 while working as a Case Manager for displaced mothers that I realized I had a passion for coaching – supporting someone as they needed or just wanted to move from where they were to where they wanted to go. Walking alongside women who did not have a home of their own, listening to their struggles and frustrations, and guiding them as they set new goals and worked to achieve them opened my eyes to the giftings God had given me.

​

For the last two years, I have worked with children, providing coaching and social emotional learning. Before that position, I worked with adults who also dealt with anxiety and what I found to be true is that no matter your age or situation, anxiousness and the lack of knowing how to respond to a current or upcoming situation can be overwhelming and paralyzing. I specialize in managing anxiety – specifically with children/youth – and my approach is to empower you to take charge of your life and make the changes you desire. Determining what causes these feelings of anxiousness, putting a name to them and coming up with a plan to deal with them can open doors you may have thought were locked shut for eternity. Because our anxiousness and and the lack of knowing how to manage it can occur on an individual basis, in relationships like marriage or the family, coaching with me can be done through individual coaching, couple coaching, family coaching, and group coaching. I will walk with you to find steps that will encourage and support you in finding a new way of living while managing the fears that can control you.

​I have my Master of Arts, Human Services, Counseling: Life Coach degree, from Liberty University. I have experience working as a Case Manager and two years as a Social Services Manager at an elementary school in Alaska, providing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) as well as coaching to students, families and staff. I have experience working with teens and adults, providing support and encouragement to get through their currrent situation. I am a Board of Mental Health, Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach. This certification focused on the mental health of children, youth, and adults, along with a specialization in Marriage and Family Coaching.
