FAQ
What is financial coaching, and what is it not?
Financial coaching is a personalized, action-driven process that helps you create a budget, get out of debt, build savings, and gain financial confidence. It’s about guidance, education, and accountability to help you reach your financial goals. However, financial coaching is not financial advising, investment management, or legal/tax consulting. I don’t sell financial products or tell you what stocks to buy—I help you take control of your money and build a strong financial future.
Do we need premarital counseling before getting married?
While not required, premarital counseling is one of the best investments you can make in your marriage. It helps you identify strengths and potential challenges, improve communication, and build a solid foundation. Research shows that couples who go through premarital counseling have stronger, longer-lasting marriages. Programs like SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich offer insights that can prevent common marital struggles before they begin.
We’re already married. Can marriage coaching still help us?
Absolutely! Marriage coaching is designed for couples at any stage—whether you’re newlyweds, facing challenges, or simply want to strengthen your relationship. Using proven tools like Prepare/Enrich, we help couples navigate communication, finances, intimacy, and conflict resolution. No matter where you are in your journey, there’s always room to grow together and build a thriving marriage.
What’s the difference between financial coaching and financial counseling?
Financial coaching focuses on your future—helping you set goals, create a financial plan, and develop habits for success. Financial counseling, on the other hand, often deals with past financial difficulties like bankruptcy or credit repair. If you need help changing your financial behaviors, making a plan, and staying accountable, coaching is the right fit.
Can I do self-help instead of coaching?
Self-help resources like books, podcasts, and courses can be great, but most people struggle to apply what they learn without accountability. Coaching provides personalized guidance, real-time feedback, and a clear action plan to help you implement lasting changes. Many people start with self-help and then realize they need extra support to truly succeed.
How does career coaching work?
Career coaching helps you identify your strengths, align your work with your values, and develop a clear path toward success. Whether you’re looking for a career change, job advancement, or guidance on leadership, we’ll work together to set goals, build confidence, and take actionable steps toward meaningful work.
Do you offer non-faith-based coaching?
Yes! My coaching integrates Christian principles to help you align your finances, relationships, and personal growth with your faith. However, coaching is available for people of all backgrounds—faith-based elements are included as much or as little as you prefer.
What is parenting coaching, and who is it for?
Parenting coaching helps families navigate the challenges of raising children with wisdom, patience, and faith. Whether you’re a new parent, struggling with discipline, or want to strengthen your family dynamic, coaching provides practical tools and biblical insights to help you lead your children well.
What’s the difference between coaching and counseling?
Counseling often focuses on emotional healing, past trauma, or mental health issues, while coaching is action-oriented, forward-focused, and goal-driven. Coaching helps you create a clear plan for financial success, a stronger marriage, or personal growth with practical, faith-based strategies. If you’re unsure which is best for you, we can discuss your needs during a consultation.
Do you offer group workshops or only one-on-one coaching?
Yes! In addition to one-on-one coaching, I offer group coaching sessions, workshops for teams, and premarital/marriage intensives. These sessions provide community support and powerful learning opportunities for couples, families, and individuals.
How much does coaching cost?
Coaching is an investment in your future—whether it’s financial freedom, a stronger marriage, or career growth. Pricing varies depending on the type of coaching, session length, and package options available. The best way to determine what fits your needs is to schedule a free consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals and find the best plan for you.
