Meet the Coach

My passion is the intersection between identity, greater self-awareness, spiritual formation, and deeper life transformation. I work with individuals, couples, and teams who are ready to engage in some inner work to become more self-aware and live in the freedom that kind of awareness brings. 

I’ve been working in coaching, mentoring, and teaching roles most of my adult life – often in ministry team settings. So I’ve done the gamut of personality tests. You name it, I did it: DISC, StrengthsFinder, MBTI, the one with the four animals, the four temperaments one, and a few others. They were all useful in different ways, but as far as day to day application, they felt either reductionistic or overly complicated. They gave me a label or a letter but there wasn’t a growth plan for me to walk away with that I could easily grab onto. I “sorta, kinda” understood a bit more of myself, but I still felt stuck.

That’s where the Enneagram was different. Finally an assessment that didn’t just tell me about my behaviors, but helped me identify the motivations behind them. Good and bad, light and shadow, true and false self. I was suddenly aware of myself and things started to click for me in a way they never had before.

The Enneagram was the tool that opened my eyes, gave me language for my inner world, and helped me map a more hopeful way of living out of my unique wiring. It gave me the permission I didn’t know I needed to live out of my true identity instead of the frustrated life I was living –  chasing after the “ideal person” I thought I should be but wasn’t. The “aha” moments were many after that!! The greater self-knowledge that came as I a result has impacted my relationship with God, my marriage and other close relationships, as well as my work life. And it hasn’t just helped me understand myself better – it’s given me a grid for understanding others. I have more compassion for their individual journeys!

I believe that God in His creativity made each of us with unique gifts, passions, and callings and that we are most alive in Him when we are living out of those. The result is greater clarity, wiser decision making, and lasting impact. During our times together, I am committed to providing an environment where you will be invited to dig deeper, live more authentically, and thrive in your unique design.
