Interested in Exploring a Coaching Session?

Are you in a challenging season of life?

Are you needing support to help you get through this bump in the road?

Have you tried to set boundaries in your work, family, community relationships but need encouragement?

Are you looking to draw closer to God in this season?

I’ve had my own “dark valleys” and know how lonely and overwhelming it can feel. Please know, that you’re not alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you in this hard season and help get you anchored to God’s love and truth as you move through this confusing, painful, or overwhelming time in your life. 

I work with women (missionaries, wives, moms, singles) who are 19+ years old who are looking to rebuild confidence, direction, and rebuild accountability in their relational and spiritual life.

Areas of focus in coaching or biblical counseling:


–> God-given identity work

–>Understand your story

–> Boundary support and guidance

–> Transitional grief

–> Unwanted Sexual Behaviors 

–> Soul care: build secure attachment to God

With over 20+ years in ministry as a missionary, counselor, caseworker, leader, and Bible teacher I bring an extensive amount of experience and wisdom that equips me to offer deep insight and support. I offer compassionate guidance rooted in biblical wisdom, neuroscience informed, attachment-based wisdom and understanding.

My professional education has also prepared me: Master’s in Christian Education; Counseling focus, Certified Professional Life Coach, Psychology in Leadership, Trauma Care Coaching, Biblical Counseling Coaching, God-Attachment Coaching

Are you ready to get started?

You don’t have to do it alone.

Affordable counseling or coaching– The cost for a session is only $70 a session whether you choose coaching or counseling.

I also offer a discounted fee for missionary families or those who are struggling financially.

The services provided through this website are intended for personal growth, education, and life coaching and spiritual (biblical counseling) purposes only.

If you’re unsure whether you need a counselor or a coach.

Coaching is about development and growth, not treatment.

“In a nutshell, coaching provides individuals with:

  • clarify purpose and direction
  • Strengthen habits and mindset 
  • Develop emotional resilience
  • Improve relational skills
  • Move forward with structured accountability

A therapist or licensed counselor provides individuals with:

  • Diagnose mental health conditions
  • Provide trauma therapy
  • Treat severe (clinical) anxiety or depression

You should consider seeing a licensed Christian counselor if you are experiencing:

  • Persistent depression
  • Panic attacks
  • Trauma symptoms
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Severe Addiction
  • Treatment for a mental health condition
  • Experiencing abuse

    It is possible to work with me as your coach and also see a licensed counselor. “Many people work with a counselor to process past wounds while working with a coach to build accountability, rebuild confidence, direction and forward-focused growth.” ~ Justin Tilghman
