Once you meet me, you’ll quickly realize two things about me: I meet people where they’re at and I’m passionate about helping people discover who they are and where they want to go.
God has gifted me with the ability to meet people in the season they’re in and helping them transition through life’s changes. Early on in my career, I saw this to be true when working with high school seniors transitioning to college and then later when helping college seniors transition into the world of work for the first time. Plus, add in the fact that as a wife, mom, therapist, coach, and human, I have encountered quite a few transitions in my own life!
I enjoy working with clients to utilize assessment tools to increase self- awareness so they can make informed decisions about their goals or career paths. I love working with young adults who are exploring their future career paths or with women transitioning back into the career field after a season of focusing on their family. When we work together, we will outline your goals and remove the roadblocks that prevent you from moving towards the path that God has for you.
My Unique Design as a Coach
- Christian perspective and faith integration- For those who desire to incorporate their Christian faith into the process, there is room for that here! We will work together to integrate faith as the fabric of your decision-making as you learn more about who you are in Christ and how God has uniquely wired you.
- Holistic approach- I value the individual as a whole. It is important to evaluate all dimensions of an individual- physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health. As a Highlands Ability Battery Certified Consultant, I use the framework of the Highlands Whole Person model in coaching. Whether you are facing a life transition or seeking career guidance, my holistic approach is best described as:
- Training and experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor – You will benefit from my specific training as a counselor and my ability to sit with people in hard seasons, provide a warm and encouraging environment conducive to your growth, and intentional listening for the things that are not being said.
- Mindfulness & Forward-focused – Through coaching, I will come alongside to help you focus on the here & now, gain new insight, and apply small steps towards the future that you desire. We won’t spend time digging into your past, like counseling may. Rather, we will be forward focused on helping you achieve goals.
- Customized, Convenient & Confidential- I offer customized coaching tailored to your specific needs in a convenient way through in-person or virtual sessions, and in a safe, comfortable, and confidential space.
