ABOUT ME

I started my coaching practice with one goal in mind: to help people find JOY in their work, relationships, and life.

Combining my background in psychology with my personal interest in spirituality, I love helping leaders focus, reflect, and refine their lives. A lifelong learner, I'm passionate about helping people cultivate a love of learning and growth. I don't want to be 'stuck' in life or just go through the motions - I want to flourish, and to help others do the same.

Like most life-passions, mine was birthed out of a tender place.

The truth is, I used to be suffocated under the weight of past trauma, chronic health issues, and an unhealthy set of personal rhythms shaped by my unpleasant experiences. After countless hours of work in attending intensive therapy and an ongoing pursuit of all things trauma care, self-awareness, and attachment, I am blessed to now live a life of resilient joy and whole brained integration.

I want the same for you…

YOUR STORY MATTERS.

We are all on our own journey, with our own voices, and our own unique gifts, but we aren't designed to journey alone. I've had beautiful people come alongside me to partner in my own healing process and I’d love to do the same with you, gently guiding you toward a deeper sense of community, belonging, and growth.

On the personal side, I love the literary works of Tolkien and read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings every fall season. Green is my favorite color, I collect house plants, and I love being surrounded by life and growth. I am a musician and an artist who occasionally paints commission pieces, and I love to ride and work cattle with my family here on the ranch.

I also love a cozy mug of something warm. What about you?

Testimonials

    Working with Josi has genuinely transformed how our team leads and connects with one another. As leaders at a Christ-centered nonprofit, we came into this work already caring deeply about our mission, but Josi helped us go deeper: as a team, we're closer, trust runs deeper, and we've grown in empathy, both for each other and for the people we serve. Her "gently curious" approach has given us practical rhythms and tools we actually use, not just talk about. We've learned to be gentler with ourselves and each other, which has made us more attuned as leaders and more emotionally intelligent as a team. But what's been most life-changing is how Josi has taught us to practice listening to Jesus together. That single shift has reshaped how we approach Him. If you're looking for a coach who blends genuine spiritual depth with practical, sustainable leadership tools, I can't recommend Josi enough!

    When something you’ve been told your whole life is a problem with you or your personality is finally seen differently, it is profoundly healing. At 54 years old, through my conversations with Josi, I began to discover that some of the very things I had been taught were problems or issues were actually superpowers of my unique design! Every single meeting with her brought inner healing to my identity, my heart, and even my central nervous system through her calm, attuned presence. Josi is truly an instrument in the Redeemer’s hands, and my life is leaps and bounds better because of the way she listened to me and saw my true heart. She didn’t tell me who I was; through her patient attentive listening, thoughtful questions, and ability to draw out the gold already within me, she helped me come to my own conclusions about who I truly am. To be deeply seen, heard, and understood in this way has been one of the most healing and life-giving experiences of my life. (On top of that, she has a fantastic sense of humor at just the right and appropriate moments!) She is a rare GEM!!! If you have spent years wondering whether something about the way you were made is somehow wrong, I cannot recommend Josi highly enough as someone who can help you discover the beauty and strength of your unique design.

    "I used to train facilitators for recovery groups at my former nonprofit, and I've never experienced one as skilled as you. Your "gentle curiosity" helped me feel safe as a leader being led by someone new to me, and is an approach I've added to the work I now do with my own coaching clients."
