My story

The right purpose, a different path.

When I learned more about faith-based life coaching, I realized it was something I had already been doing in my own way for most of my life. I believe God was guiding me toward the right purpose, just through a different path than I expected.

  1. The plan

    I believed I was being led to study clinical mental health counseling. The goal felt right, but the path didn’t.

  2. The people

    Friends kept coming to me in hard seasons, and people told me I had a gift for guiding and speaking into their lives.

  3. The nudge

    Then someone suggested I become a life coach, and things began to make sense.

  4. The calling

    Faith-based coaching was what I had been doing for much of my life. God led me to the right purpose, by a different path.

Helping, guiding and encouraging others has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Etzah Coaching is where I do that work now.

Why I coach

To help people navigate, grow and move forward.

My calling is a desire to help people navigate life’s challenges, grow, and move forward.

That’s why I coach: to equip people to navigate life with greater wisdom, intentionality and faith.

  1. Navigate

    Gain clarity on what you’re facing and where you want to go.

  2. Grow

    Develop practical skills and strengthen your thinking and habits.

  3. Move forward

    Apply wisdom to real-life situations and take the next step.

Faith & values

Rooted in faith. Built for growth.

The values behind my coaching are the same ones behind the name and the mark.

The Etzah Coaching mark: an anchor built around a cross, with a star above

  • The star

    Wisdom

    Etzah means counsel. We look for wisdom you can steer by and apply to real-life situations.

  • The cross

    Faith by choice

    My coaching is Christian-rooted. Faith and biblical principles are part of it whenever you choose, and never required.

  • The flukes

    Practical growth

    Stability is for moving forward, not standing still: clearer thinking, stronger habits and skills you use every day.

  • The anchor

    Steadfastness

    An anchor doesn’t stop a ship from moving. It keeps it from drifting while the real work happens.

EtzahHebrew for counsel

“The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.”
Proverbs 20:5 (ESV)

Coaching philosophy

Honest, practical and on your side.

I help people gain clarity, develop practical skills, strengthen their thinking and habits, and apply wisdom to real-life situations.

  • Growth

    Growth is practical.

    Clarity comes first. Then we build skills, thinking and habits you can use in everyday life.

  • Change

    Change happens in steps.

    We don’t try to fix everything at once. We name what matters most and take the next step.

  • Accountability

    Accountability is support.

    You set the goals and make the choices. I help you follow through, honestly and without judgment.

  • Encouragement

    Encouragement keeps you going.

    Hard seasons are real. I’ll be in your corner, speaking hope and truth along the way.

You set the direction. I walk alongside you.
