No, I’m not a licensed therapist. I’m a trauma-informed life and money coach. That means we work on mindset, clarity, emotions, and nervous system regulation in a way that honors your lived experience, without diving into clinical diagnosis or treatment.

Whether you’re feeling stuck with money, want to level up financially, or just craving clarity and direction, I’m here to walk with you. I’ll pull on my 20+ years of ministry experience, my own extensive personal healing and financial journey, and my coaching and somatic training.

Our sessions are a space to untangle limiting beliefs, make empowered decisions, and reconnect with your values and vision. 

This work isn’t just about numbers or goals (though we’ll talk about both)—it’s about healing the way you see yourself, your money, and your future, one courageous choice at a time.

Being trauma-informed means I hold space with care, compassion, and a deep awareness that we all carry life experiences—some of which may have left wounds, especially around money, identity, or self-worth.

In practical terms, it means I’ll never push you into something before you’re ready, and I won’t shame or pressure you. Instead, I’ll guide you with gentleness, curiosity, and support so that your nervous system feels safe, your voice is honored, and your growth happens at a pace that feels right for you. 

This is about creating an experience where your whole self can show up, be seen, and move forward with dignity and power.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money—or disconnected from your dreams—you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. My coaching is for you if you’re craving both compassion and empowerment, and you’re ready to explore the deeper whybehind your habits, fears, or goals.

You might be a good fit if:

• You’re doing the inner work, but money still feels stressful or shame-filled

• You want to build a life that reflects your values, not just your to-do list

• You’re tired of hustling and striving, and ready to take inspired action

• You want to profit from your passions and fuel your heart’s work—without burning out or selling out

• You desire wealth—not just for yourself, but so you can live generously and do good in the world

• You want someone to walk with you—rooted in faith, emotionally attuned, and practical

If you’re feeling a nudge, trust it. You don’t have to be “fixed” or have it all figured out to begin. Just bring your whole self—I’ll meet you there.

Yes! The principles and practices I use in sessions are not gender-specific. I’ve seen amazing breakthroughs working with men and feel passionate about seeing men empowered to create wealth and bring their gifts to the world.

Each session is a relaxed, guided conversation designed to meet you where you are—emotionally, spiritually, and practically. We’ll talk through your relationship with money, work on healing old wounds, dream for your future, and create a plan that feels true to who you are and what you want.

You can expect a mix of deeper ‘heart work’ and practical steps. We’ll sometimes use techniques to help calm your nervous system, like breathing exercises or visualization, so you can approach challenges with more peace and clarity. For those who appreciate faith-based techniques, we can also incorporate prayer and/or prophetic insights.

Some days, we’ll focus on more on practical steps. Other times, we’ll work on deeper healing—whether that’s shifting old beliefs, embracing self-compassion, or helping you see money in a new light.

You’ll leave feeling clearer, more connected to your heart, and empowered to take the next steps toward the life you’ve been dreaming of.
