Find Your Way
Where are you stuck?
We all get stuck sometimes.
You may feel stuck in ‘rinse and repeat’ patterns. You may be constantly caring for everything and everyone else, but unable to do the same for yourself. Or you may be lost in a major life transition. Sometimes, it’s as if no one else sees your struggle, but you know something feels off, and everything you've tried just isn’t working.
Getting unstuck from these places is tricky because these patterns are wired deep into your nervous system. But real change is possible, it just isn’t about willpower; it’s about understanding yourself, shifting your mindset, and creating new skillsets.
Where are you seeking guidance?
Hi I’m Jen,
I guide problem solvers, helpers, and overthinkers beyond the stuck spots in themselves and their lives, and I came to this work by needing to figure it out for myself.
For most of my life, I tried to fix “what was wrong with me and my life” over and over again. Sometimes my solution stuck for a while, other times it was super short-lived, but I always went back to square one once the initial motivation wore off or life got busy and stressful. It was defeating, frustrating, and just drove me deeper into unhappiness with my life and ugliness in my head.
Then I discovered coaching.
Coaching was the solution I never knew existed. Through my coaching journey, I entered a place where I enjoyed authentically being myself, where I had inner confidence and contentment, and where I was no longer ruled by self-deprecation. This allowed me to feel true joy and calm for the first time, and it created a ripple effect of good throughout my life.
I now coach clients to create their own meaningful change in the areas where they were once stuck.

“My coaching experience with Jen was nothing short of deeply transformative for me as well as for my business. I’m at the stage of life that I needed to find a new perspective on where I’d arrived and be mindful about how I wanted to move forward thru it. I am so grateful I found her and her style of coaching, it was the perfect answer for me.
I’ve referred a few very close friends and some colleagues to her and know that she’s been instrumental in helping them as well. Her approach is quite different from conventional “therapy” and she somehow locks right in on how to help in a fundamental and uniquely personal way.
She’s amazing!! ❤️~Vickie

“Finding Jen is the best thing that I have done for myself, ever!
It has been an eye opening experience. Introspective and real. I would not be where I am at today without knowing her. And there is more to come!” ~Elizabeth
“Jen helped me transform myself in just a few sessions. I didn’t even realize what was happening,
but I left her office feeling new, refreshed, empowered, and confident.
Me? Confident? Really? Well, yes!
Jen has such a calm way of turning things around before you even realize it.
She helped me focus on another direction…another way of looking at things. Suddenly life changed in so many positive ways for me.
And, somehow in my journey, she helped me find love for myself as well. ”
~ Carla

Both!
We can meet in my relaxed, plant-filled office in Wilmington, North Carolina, or connect remotely by phone or Zoom from anywhere.
Whether you’re local or traveling halfway across the globe, the coaching experience feels just as personal.
-
I coach action oriented problem solvers, the ones who love figuring things out but sometimes get stuck when it comes to their own lives.
I coach women, men, and couples who are 18 and older, from all backgrounds and stages of life.
They are the people others rely on, often taking on more than humanly possible.
When they run into challenges, coaching is their safe space to untangle the knots and take clear action.

When something doesn’t feel right in your life, you’re often told you need therapy.
If you are needing to heal trauma or you’re really struggling with your mental health, therapy is often needed.
If you’re functioning well, though, and want to change your thought process, habits, or how you live daily life, coaching is a great fit.
-
Every coaching journey is unique, and ultimately you decide how long it lasts (don’t worry, my clients get really good at knowing what they need).
Some clients come for a specific reason and stay just a few months. Others find coaching so valuable that they continue longer term.
Most clients begin to notice shifts quickly, often within the first few sessions. By six to eight sessions, many are naturally thinking, feeling, and responding differently to situations in their lives, without needing to add more to their to-do list.
When a client chooses to complete their coaching journey, they often tell me it feels like they get to “keep me in their back pocket.” You’re always welcome to pop back in for a single session or for a longer stretch whenever it feels right.
-
Most clients benefit from meeting weekly or every other week in the beginning and then taper down as they need. I also offer single coaching sessions.
-
All coaching begins with a complimentary 45-minute consultation, because it’s important that we both feel the fit is right for you.
