Thanks for visiting my page! It takes a lot of courage and strength to seek help. Often the first steps can be the most difficult. I hope I can be a part of the journey you have just started and help you through the challenges and joys ahead.
Perhaps you’re overwhelmed, discouraged, or tired of navigating life’s problems on your own. Maybe you have goals and aspirations that you would love to accomplish, but you feel stuck. Or maybe you’re facing a big life decision and you aren’t sure what to do. It also could just be that you need a safe place to share and talk through issues that have been bothering you. Wherever you are, I would love to partner with you and work on strategies and solutions to help you reach your specific goals. Read on to see my coaching specialties and learn a little bit more about my background, or click the link to schedule an introductory session. Also, feel free to email me if you have any questions. |
Coaching specialties
- Personal Development Coaching - As a coach, I can assist in planning to accomplish personal, spiritual, or career goals. At the same time, we can work on self-discovery, social skills, body image, and/or self-esteem–collaborating on strategies to overcome any obstacles.
- Relationship Coaching - I can help you navigate difficult relationships between siblings, parents, teachers, co-workers, bosses, or significant others. Together, we would work towards finding hope and healing as we map out a path toward healthier relationships.
- Transitional Coaching - Perhaps you just moved to Chattanooga, started at a new school or began a new job, are in the midst of graduating, changing careers, going through a breakup, or are facing an empty nest. Whatever the transition, it would be a privilege to work with you as you process and to provide tools, to help you adjust to a new set of circumstances.
- Self-Care Coaching - Self-care is so important to our well-being, especially in a culture that seems to always demand we go harder and achieve more. I can be there to help you identify root causes of burnout, plan a healthier lifestyle, and guide you towards balance and margin in your life.
- Ministry Coaching - Before coming to Foxhole, I worked in student ministry, with Young Life and at two different churches. I am familiar with the unique joys and challenges this work can bring. I would look forward to helping you take the proper steps toward building and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I am also happy to help if you are thinking through a new calling.
- Sabbatical Coaching - You may find yourself with some undirected time for any number of reasons. Perhaps it is a sabbatical, or maybe you are between jobs, or your children have left home. Giving ourselves time to rest and reflect is so important and sometimes hard to do effectively. I would be honored to help you navigate this time.
* None of us or our challenges fit neatly into a box. It is okay if the categories listed above don’t exactly describe your needs. With every client, we build a unique relationship based on personality and goals.

MORE ABOUT ME: Much of my heart for meeting people in their struggles and striving for solutions comes from my own background. In high school, I was the girl who seemed to have it all, yet I consistently felt like I was falling short and didn’t measure up to my peers. I remember the loneliness I experienced in moments when others seemed to just glide through their classes and athletic endeavors. Meanwhile, I felt like everything I did took twice the effort to get half the results. It wasn’t until much later that I realized I am not alone in this feeling, and (maybe more importantly) that no one should have to struggle in what feels like isolation. I am drawn to this job because I feel life has prepared me to be that person who is there to encourage and assist those who may feel a bit like they are drowning with no shore in sight.
I have had the opportunity to do this work with students, young adults, and their parents for over 14 years on staff with Young Life and in two churches. What I have found to be most true is that we all need help. No person is an island, yet we live in a culture that often prescribes a stiff upper lip and increased effort as the solution. I know what it is like to reach into your reserve, find nothing there, and try to endure anyway. Put plainly, I know what it’s like to burn out, but I have also found a path to recovery. My hope is to be with you through that process and to help you find a way to firmer ground.
