Hello, my name is Samantha and I am a Certified Professional Coach with a passion for helping others. My desire for helping people comes from my own hard beginnings and my genuine desire to see others thriving. I grew up in a traumatic environment that caused a mindset that was disruptive in my life. However, I also saw people that were happy, loving, and successful. I was determined to have that “good life”. By the time I was a young adult, things were not going as planned. Determination was not enough. Something else was going on but I didn’t know what it was. I went through many trials and errors often wondering if something was wrong with me. It took a lot of hard work, learning, and determination to figure out that my own mindsets were actually hurting me and then learned how to remedy that. My hope is to help you do the same. Life throws so many obstacles at us and it takes a tremendous amount of courage to overcome them, but I know from experience that it is possible. My approach to coaching is one of honesty, accountability and compassion. I believe in being tenacious but I also believe in caring for yourself. It is a balance we need to get right to accomplish our goals and also be able to fully enjoy them.

I am also a Christian, a military spouse, and a mother of four adult children, living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I enjoy learning about neuroscience, psychology, sociology and theology. Some of my favorite activities are going for walks in nature, watching movies with my husband, reading, and spending time with my family.
