I’m a coach, facilitator and enthusiastic believer that meaningful growth does not have to feel heavy. Some of the most powerful transformation happens when people feel supported, connected and fully engaged in the process. That is the kind of environment I love creating.
 

I live in Michigan with my husband of 28 years, and we are now officially empty nesters. When I’m not coaching or facilitating, you will likely find me spending time with family and friends, enjoying Michigan’s beautiful summers, walking or hiking somewhere outdoors, or planning my next adventure.
 

My professional journey began in marketing and communications, where I learned the power of perspective, connection and a well placed word. Eventually, my love of helping people recognize what is possible led me to professional coaching. For nearly a decade, I have worked with individuals, groups, leaders and teams to help them gain clarity, move beyond limiting beliefs and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.
 

I am a Certified Life and Leadership Coach through the Professional Christian Coaching Institute and an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation. I am also a certified facilitator through the XChange Approach, which has strengthened my ability to create engaging, highly participatory experiences where people learn with and from one another.
 

Today, I serve as the Dean of Community Life at the Professional Christian Coaching Institute. In that role, I design and facilitate experiences that help coaches and coaching students feel connected, supported and actively engaged in their growth. Whether I’m leading a workshop, coaching a group or working with a team, you can expect the unexpected. I love bringing creativity, lightness and humor into the room because growth and connection can be many things, but they really shouldn’t be boring.
 

My coaching has also been deeply shaped by my family’s experience navigating mental health and substance use challenges with one of our children. That journey strengthened my belief that relationships, compassion and support can create powerful conditions for change. It also led me to become certified in the Invitation to Change Approach so I could help other parents and families walk through difficult seasons with greater understanding, hope and connection.
 

Through individual coaching, group experiences, interactive workshops, retreats and customized team engagements, I help people build trust, strengthen communication and move forward with greater clarity and courage.
