Your Next Step —

Hi, I’m Kristen.
Life coach. Truth-seeker. Hope-bringer.

I help men and women step out of survival mode and into lives rooted in peace, purpose, and FREEDOM. I have a special passion for guiding young adults through life transitions and supporting fire wives as they navigate the unique weight of life in the fire world.

My coaching is led by curiosity and shaped by the belief that healing is possible, grace changes everything, and you were created for a life that is meaningful.

Let’s press in together!

— Client Testimonials —

  • “I married my husband after his late wife passed and for months felt like a guest in her house rather than his wife. At the same time, I felt selfish for thinking he should move her things out more quickly. He had made room for me and my dog, after all. Kristen helped me see my feelings weren’t selfish or wrong — they were honest. With her coaching, I found compassion for both of us and the courage to finally talk to my husband. That conversation changed the dynamic of our marriage and deepened our trust in each other and ourselves.”

    —Christine

  • "Kristen has been blessed with the patience and ability to make her clients feel seen and be free to be vulnerable and honest without feeling judged. All the while, she encourages diving deeper to understand cycles of thought and emotion in an effort to engage with God, people, and life’s circumstances in genuine and healthy ways. My time being coached by Kristen changed my life. I have become more emotionally resilient and am better at setting boundaries and making and backing my decisions. She helped me to be curious and patient with myself instead of being critical and quick to correction. Kristen asked me what my goals for coaching were in our first conversation, and then helped me accomplish them. My toolbox is more full, my head and heart are steadier, and I am so grateful for her. Life coaching with Kristen just might change your life too. 10/10 would recommend."

    — Megan

  • "There are so many things for me to say about Kristen's coaching. My favorite thing is that she has a heart for God, and that she brings God into the center of every coaching session that we have had just naturally. Our prayer sessions are the best! She is so patient and loving, and I feel that she really sees me. She shows up with a genuine concern for what I need coaching on. She is a great listener, and always asks the most profound questions that open up deep things that need to be explored and vetted out. I would highly recommend coaching with Kristen if you are looking for an excellent coach that cares very much about your journey!!"

  • "It was SO GOOD speaking with you!  I really feel like my thinking has been cloudy in some areas and you helped me to push through some of that fog.  Thank you!  Also I just got an email from my Chair saying that I am moving onto the next stage, so that is good evidence that I am on the right track for finishing my degree. “

    — Nicole

  • "I got some GREAT NEWS on my PhD work and successfully defended my proposal, the worst is now behind me!  There is still more work but I'm in a really good place to finish soon.  You've played a huge role in getting me to this place."

    — Nicole

  • “Finding a coach to help address long-standing, deeply rooted patterns and beliefs can be daunting. It’s hard enough to face those parts of yourself you’re not sure you want to work through or share with anyone — let alone allow someone new inside the chaos.  But I finally had enough and wanted to start this process and desired to find someone who would thoughtfully, yet consistently, open the door to the “what if” side of my mind and heart to ignite the healing process.   I am a guy that struggles to trust anyone, but from the very beginning, Kristen earned my confidence and respect. After asking great questions leading to a meaningful evaluation of my core sticking points, we landed on next steps on the path.  I am a Christian and Kristen asked permission to remind me of what God says about himself and me as his child in the bible.  This alone brought so much clarity into my mind, that I finally felt hope.  While the healing journey is different for everyone, I was shocked and excited to actually have arrived at and understood my primary issues and needs at that time.  I needed a first step, and Kristen helped me find it.   Over time, I’ve benefited greatly from her skill as a coach — especially her ability to draw from a wide repertoire of tools, using my own feedback, actions, and non-actions to pinpoint issues, break them down, and guide me toward practical steps for growth. She offers constant reassurance to go at my own pace, yet also gives me the freedom to be bold and take ground, always in a safe space. While I’m still on the path toward where I want to be, Kristen walks beside me with patience, insight, and unwavering belief in my growth. She doesn’t let me take the easy way out — not because she’s harsh, but because she truly cares about my best outcome. Working with her has been one of the most meaningful steps I’ve ever taken toward lasting change.”
