I’ve Been Where You Are.
Welcome to Next Steps Coaching
As a pastor's wife, mom of five, and certified mental health coach, I know what it looks like to hold it all together on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside.
For years, I didn't realize I was living with high-functioning anxiety. I just thought pushing through was what strong women did. I also struggled with social anxiety, and I learned the hard way that avoiding what made me anxious only gave it more power.
Everything started to shift when I stopped white-knuckling my way through life and started doing the real work of uncovering root causes instead of just managing symptoms, renewing my mind with God's Word, and anchoring my identity in Christ instead of my performance.
That journey didn't just change me. It changed my marriage, my parenting, and the way I show up for the people I love.
Walking alongside women has been part of my life for more than 20 years. I've had the privilege of mentoring, encouraging, teaching, and supporting women through marriage, motherhood, relationships, faith, and difficult seasons of life.
Today, my own story and that lived experience comes together with my professional training and education in the work I love, helping women understand what's keeping them stuck, build practical skills, and move forward with greater clarity, hope, and confidence, rooted in Christ.

A little more about me
Pastor's Wife, Married 20+ years, Mom of five, Worship leader, Lifelong learner.
I believe some of our greatest growth can happen in the seasons that press us. It's often in the hard and uncomfortable places, not when everything is going according to plan, that we discover what we believe, where we're struggling, and where God may be inviting us to grow.
God can use those very places to deepen our dependence on Him, build resilience, and shape us into who He is calling us to become.
