I’ve been serving the Lord for over 40 years and I can’t imagine life without Him. He gives me the wisdom, hope, strength & joy I need to do the work He’s ask me to. The next most important person in my life is my husband. We’ve been married for over 30 years, & have raised two amazing young men. Throughout our marriage we’ve served in various leadership roles within the church and have an understanding of the unique pressures that pastors face. I have a heart to come alongside and be that safe listening ear that so few Christian leaders have, guiding them to step into all the Lord has for them.

After earning a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy, I’ve worked for over 27 years as a licensed therapist. Having sat in my office across from too many broken leaders, I wanted to become part of the prevention. This led me to coaching! Now I have the privilege of helping Christian leaders to navigate the often-rocky waters of leadership with wisdom, balance and joy. I love coaching leaders as well as teams.

I still offer limited counseling sessions for those in California, who need more than coaching; see the counseling section for more information. 

I am a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF, a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach and a Level 4 AG Proficient Coach, as well as a licensed marriage and family therapist.
