I believe that coaching is a powerfully effective and respectful way to help people. My clients and I are equals, cooperating in a partnership of honesty, careful communication, creativity and hard work.  I'm the coach, but the outcome belongs to the client.
I am a certified professional life coach and graduate from Christian Coach Institute. I am a wife and a mom to four adventurous kids of varying ages. Becoming a coach was a natural next step in the progression of my life experiences, education, and strengths. I love coaching.
However, my background includes many years of struggle with self-doubt.  This resulted in a performance-driven, people-pleasing life.  I had a strong desire to figure out life and do it well, but I felt like I was falling short.  My mindset, guilt-complex, and limiting beliefs were sabotaging my growth, draining my joy, and squashing my confidence. 
 I truly understand the importance of an accurate mindset which is where real change and growth begins.  As a coach, I understand the struggle of going it alone and why no one should! I'm ready to partner with you, if you are ready to go forward. I'll bring my intuitive listening, creativity, strategic thinking, and enthusiasm. I value honesty, kindness, and excellence and FUN, and these are all integral to my coaching style.

It all begins with a no-strings-attached real conversation.

If I sound at all like the right person to partner with, let's have a conversation. Don't let your momentum stop before you get started. Take the first step in changing your situation by initiating a conversation with me. Together we can discuss your situation, work through your questions, and determine if we are a great fit.
