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 — 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.
Now I get to help other women and couples do the same.
Gospel-Centered Coaching for Women & Couples
I offer trauma-informed, Christ-centered coaching for women and couples who are ready to stop surviving and start living with clarity, connection, and peace.
All sessions are virtual, 50 minutes, and Christ-centered.
For women
whether you're navigating motherhood, burnout, a life transition, ministry life, or just that stuck feeling you can't quite name — I help you uncover what's really going on beneath the surface, renew your mind with gospel truth, and take the next faithful step forward. I work with overwhelmed moms, pastors' wives, women walking through identity shifts, and women who are ready to stop performing and start living from who God actually made them to be.
For couples
whether you're pre-engaged, newly engaged, or years into marriage and feeling disconnected — I help you build the kind of foundation that's rooted in covenant, not just compatibility. We dig into the real stuff: communication, conflict, roles, expectations, and what it looks like to be transformed by the gospel together — not just trying harder.
