Counseling
Christian Life Coach for teens, women, & couples. Helping you heal emotional wounds & find lasting peace through faith-based coaching, God-encounters, inner-child work, & self-regulation tools.
Welcome to Free to Thrive! I'm glad you decided to look into life coaching. Just wanted to tell you a little more about myself so you feel more connected before you dive in. I have been a single mom of three for 16 years, and my children are now 18, 21, and 23. I have coached a variety of sports including soccer, swimming, and CrossFit. As a Middle School and High School teacher (from 2016 - present), I often find myself counseling my students, colleagues, and friends. In 2022, I felt a strong call to pursue the ministry of coaching. So I took the leap! I received my life coach training through Alive and Free Consulting LLC in 2023.
My own healing journey over the last 20+ years includes having a one-night-stand baby after trying to mask my pain by sleeping around after my first divorce at age 24, leaving an abusive marriage (marriage #2) when my children were 3,5, &7, and walking with my children through layers of trauma. I found strength and freedom through God's provision, faithfulness and unconditional love, discovered the root of my pain through re-parenting, inner healing, and Holy Spirit encounters, and I learned to receive God’s grace in all its fullness so that I could extend the same grace to others.
Sometimes we get stuck in pain cycles because we don’t even realize what the root of our pain is. My role is to help you get to the root of your pain and guide you to experience deeper healing from the love and compassion of God. Additionally, I help you gain powerful tools in order to self-regulate because my goal is to get you to a place where you no longer need me and can get that healing on your own with the Holy Spirit.
Maybe you can relate to this...you have overcome challenges but have not taken time to truly heal from the pain. You are surviving and doing the best you can, but you still hold onto the belief that you need to “do and be good” for others in order to be loved. You long to show up as a loving adult in your parenting, your marriage/dating relationships, and other relationships, but you keep showing up as a triggered child instead. You have gone through a breakup or divorce and feel that others don’t stick around because something is wrong with you. And you deeply long to live an empowered life and press into all that God has for you, but you struggle because you don't know how to break free from that which binds you.
That's where I come in! Let's start with a free consultation and see if it's a good fit for you.
