My Approach to Healing

Certified Christian Mental Health Coach

True healing addresses the whole person—spirit, soul, and body. My coaching approach integrates biblical truth with trauma-informed care, creating a safe space where you can process pain, discover purpose, and experience genuine transformation.

What Makes This Different

  • Faith-Integrated: We don't separate your spiritual life from your emotional healing. God is at the center of our work together.
  • Trauma-Informed: I understand how trauma affects the brain, body, and spirit. We move at your pace, honoring your story.
  • Biblically Grounded: Every strategy, tool, and perspective is rooted in Scripture. God's Word guides our journey.
  • Safe & Confidential: This is a judgment-free zone. What you share stays between us, creating space for authentic healing.

"You don't have to carry this alone. Healing is possible, and you're worth the journey."

Is This for You?

Coaching may be right for you if any of these resonate:

Carrying Wounds from Your Past

You're carrying wounds from your past that affect your present—relationships feel difficult, trust seems impossible, and the pain won't let go.

Feeling Stuck & Disconnected

You feel stuck and disconnected from your purpose—you know God has called you to more, but you can't seem to break through.

Experiencing Burnout

You're a leader experiencing burnout or compassion fatigue—pouring out for others has left you empty, and you need restoration.

Spiritually Blocked

You want to grow spiritually but feel blocked—prayer feels dry, faith feels distant, and you're struggling to connect with God.

If any of these feel familiar, you're in the right place. Healing doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in safe, compassionate relationship with someone who understands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in a coaching session?

Each session is a safe, confidential space where we explore your concerns, identify patterns, and develop biblical strategies for healing and growth. Sessions are conversational and collaborative—you set the pace. We'll work together to address trauma, discover your purpose, overcome obstacles, and develop practical tools for your journey. Expect compassion, honesty, and Spirit-led guidance.

Is this therapy or counseling?

No, Christian life coaching is not therapy or clinical counseling. While I am trained in trauma-informed approaches and mental health coaching, I do not diagnose or treat mental illness. Coaching focuses on moving you forward from where you are now toward your goals, using biblical principles and practical strategies. If you need clinical therapy, I can help you find appropriate resources while we work together on your spiritual and personal growth.

How many sessions are typical?

This varies based on your individual needs and goals. Some clients work with me for a few sessions to address a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term coaching for deeper healing and transformation. We'll discuss your situation during the discovery call and create a plan that works for you. There's no pressure or long-term commitment required—we move at your pace.

Is everything we discuss confidential?

Yes, absolutely. Confidentiality is foundational to our work together. Everything you share in our sessions remains private and protected. The only exceptions are situations where there is risk of harm to yourself or others, or where required by law—these situations are extremely rare. You can trust that this is a safe space for your healing journey.

Do I need to be a Christian to work with you?

While my approach is rooted in Christian principles and biblical truth, I welcome anyone who is open to faith-based coaching. You don't need to have everything figured out spiritually—many of my clients are exploring their faith while working through life challenges. What matters most is that you're open to incorporating spiritual perspectives into your healing journey.

What if I'm not ready to commit to regular sessions?

That's completely fine! Start with a free discovery call to see if we're a good fit. There's no pressure to commit to anything beyond that initial conversation. Some people need time to process before beginning coaching, and that's okay. When you're ready, I'll be here.
