Christian Coaching for Women

Christian life coaching to help stressed out Christian women find balance by setting healthy boundaries

You’re stressed, overwhelmed, irritable, and too exhausted for any of the things you actually care about.

Let's work together to create and implement a blueprint for setting and sticking to healthy personal, relationship, and professional boundaries so you can create a balanced life you love

You’ve been giving so much for so long and don’t know how to unravel all of the pieces to make room for what is actually important. 

You’re exhausted - mentally, physically, and emotionally.

You don’t have time or energy for the things you used to love - spending quality time with your family and friends, cooking, exercise, and creativity. You want to spend more time in scripture and prayer but your days are so full it just doesn’t happen. You know you need to make a shift, you’re just not sure how to make it happen without everything falling apart. 

  • You might be tired of trying to live up to everyone else's (or your own) expectations 

  • Maybe your schedule is so full and you know it's too much but you don't know how to let go of things when everything feels important

  • There might be an unhealthy relationship in your life, and you’re not sure how to best love the person biblically while protecting your own ability to live within your values and who you want to be. 

  • Perhaps you are overwhelmed and stressed at work and desire a better work/life balance  

  • Maybe you’re going through a separation or divorce and you want to move forward and communicate in a way that aligns with your faith and who you are in Christ. 

  • You could be caught up in bad habits that you just cant shake and you're not sure how to set personal boundaries 

  • You might find yourself vegging in front of the tv while binging on snacks and want to find your way back to the healthy, creative lifestyle you used to have.

You know things need to change, but you don’t know where or how to start. 

A lot of the things we struggle with as Christian women stem from a lack of healthy boundaries, which shows up as:

  • Worrying about letting people down

  • Fear of what people think of us

  • Guilt of not being “productive” or not living up to people’s expectations

  • Giving to the point of exhaustion, because we think that is what we should do as a Christian

  • Holding ourselves to a higher standard than what we expect from others

It’s so easy to get stuck in these patterns, because they often stem from our desire to live biblically and how we think we should live as a Christian. 

Unfortunately, our desire to have a servant’s heart can all too often turn into people-pleasing, enabling, and busyness - things that actually take away from the most important things - our time spent with God, actually enjoying time with our family and being the wife, mom, friend, and neighbor that we want to be.

Imagine giving your best energy to the people and things that matter most. You could actually use the natural and spiritual gifts you’ve been given from a place of abundance and joy.

How good would it feel to show up in your life living in the confidence of who you are in Christ. You would no longer need to worry about what others think, because your worth, actions, and motives come from your identity in Christ. 

What if you could confidently live aligned with the biblical values you hold so dear, regardless of the people or circumstances around you?

 

You could confidently set and hold boundaries that create healthy space where needed to make room for your priorities.

You could protect your time and energy to devote yourself to living within the boundaries God has for you as His follower, child, and friend. 

You could no longer carry responsibilities of others that are not yours to carry, but instead love them in a way that encourages their own growth and faith journey. 

You could focus on the things that are your God-given responsibility, while feeling a weight lifted as you let go of things that are not your responsibility. 

You show up at work with confidence, setting limits when needed, because you are driven by the purpose and goals you’ve laid out for your life. 

Instead of asking “why is this happening to me?” you’re saying “I can take this next step toward my goal.” 

How I can help you...

Together, we can shift through the confusion and overwhelm to help you clarify what you want most and create a game plan for moving in the direction you want for your life, while providing accountability to keep you on track. 

I can help you rediscover your values, the things that excite you, reconnect with your passions and creativity, and set the boundaries needed to cultivate those things. This will give you the space and energy to show up and love others with confidence in who you are in Christ. 

My nearly 20 years of working with individuals as a social worker, counselor, and case manager has given me insight and experience in the necessity of healthy boundaries for living successfully within our values and reaching our goals. I hold a MSW (Masters in Social Work) degree, earned a certificate in life coaching, and am working toward a certificate in biblical counseling. My education, experience, and scripture has given me a passion for helping women move toward the things that really matter and let go of the things that don’t. 

I love digging into God’s word to discover and share more about God’s purpose and plan for us. Your worth is far beyond the things you do. I can help you sift through all of those “to-do’s” so you can go from being spread too thin to living a deep, meaningful, purposeful life.

What is the difference between counseling and coaching? How do I know which one I need?

Coaching is a separate and different service than counseling. 

Counseling uses clinical interventions to address mental health diagnoses, trauma, grief, and other mental and emotional issues. 

Coaching uses goal-setting, motivation, and accountability to help provide knowledge, skills, structure, and encouragement to improve your life and move you toward where you want to be. 

 

You will want to choose counseling if:

  • You are experiencing symptoms (anxiety, depression, etc) that have impaired your ability to function will in your daily life

  • You want to work through trauma from abuse or other traumatic event 

  • You want to work through things that have happened in your past

  • You want to process grief 

  • You want to experience deep therapeutic work to address mental health issues

  • You want to work through deeper emotional issues that are keeping you stuck. 

You will want to choose coaching if:

  • You’re ready to set goals and take action and are looking for help to clarify and implement those changes

  • You are feeling stuck and want to make changes for you and your family’s future

  • You are ready to try something that might feel uncomfortable (like set boundaries and communicate those when appropriate) to reach your goals

  • You are looking for guidance and a sounding board to clarify what you really want, create a plan, troubleshoot obstacles, and sift through all of the thoughts and ideas in your head

  • You want accountability as you implement changes and encouragement to keep you on track

  • You want to live more fully in who God created you to be and love others well
