a supportive structure for organic growth

How I partner with you through life transitions and grief.

In a garden, a trellis is beneficial for the healthy growth of a plant. Yet, it does not command a plant's growth. Instead, it stands firmly in the ground, providing a safe structure for plants to lean on, wrap around, and grow upward at their own pace.

This is beautifully illustrated by a gardening method called espalier—the practice of helping trees grow fruitfully along a supportive trellis. The word espalier originally meant “something to rest your shoulder against”. When a tree is growing in a tight, narrow space or carrying a heavy load, a gardener gently rests its weight against the structure. The wood is never forced or roughly bent. Instead, giving the heavy branches a safe place to lean allows them to open up to the sunlight, breathe, and eventually bear beautiful new fruit.

That is how I view my role as your coach. I believe that growth is an intentionally organic process and is guided by a grace much bigger than ourselves. When you are walking through life transitions and grief, your capacity can feel incredibly tight, narrow, and heavy. My role is to provide trusted, compassionate and faith-led guidance. Think of my coaching framework as a safe structure to rest your shoulder against—a supportive space where you can lean your weight, reconnect with God’s presence, and experience steady, grace filled growth.

To help guide your growth in each coaching session, I utilize what I call the GROW Session Flow. Like the trellis, it provides a simple structure for seeking and tracking meaningful progress. This framework acts as a guide, not a linear path with a final destination.

You may flow into reflection, awareness, possibilities, and next steps as your circumstances change. Sometimes growth means moving forward; sometimes it means pausing, revisiting, adjusting, or simply noticing what is here. Cultivating hope is a pathway forward with discoveries and detours along the way.

You don't have to navigate this transition alone.
