My Faith at Work

Faith-based coaching for professionals ready to move from striving to alignment and from achievement to calling

My STORY

For 22 years, I showed up in rooms that demanded excellence, led hundreds of people across high-stakes environments, and built a career I genuinely loved. I rose through the ranks of the federal government, serving in national security leadership, and retired as the first Western Region Director for Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), overseeing 500+ employees across 14 states and a $65M operation.By every external measure, I had arrived.But in the middle of it all, I started asking a question I could not ignore: am I building a life truly defined by purpose, or just a career?That question led me to retire early from civilian service and say yes to a calling that, to many, did not make sense given everything I had built.I am the Founder of My Faith at Work Coaching, a practice rooted in decades of leadership experience and a genuine passion for coaching and mentoring professionals navigating the complex layers of demanding careers, family, and life while staying anchored in faith.The people I work with are high achievers wrestling with the distance between the career they have built and the life they feel called to live.I walk alongside professionals who are ready to stop reacting from fear and start responding in faith. Using the LAYER Method, a faith-centered coaching framework developed from my own lived experience, I guide my clients through 5 stages: Listen, Align, Yield, Embed, and Release, supporting them in moving from striving to alignment and from a career built on achievement to a life built on calling.I do not coach from a place of having it all figured out. I coach from a place of having walked through it too.If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. ~ Colossians 3:23-24

Faith & Career Integration
──────────────────

You were not called to leave your faith at the door when you clock in. Together we will focus on strategies to put an end to compartmentalizing so you can start bringing your whole self, your values, your convictions, your faith, into the daily decisions of your career and life. Using the LAYER Method, we work together to align what you do with who God created you to be.

Workplace Integrity
──────────────────

You know what the right thing is. The hard part is doing it when your environment does not encourage, support, or reward it. We will navigate challenges of ethically complex and compromised workplaces so that you can lead authentically without sacrificing values or careers. Being in a compromised system does not mean you have to be a compromised person.

Work-Life Balance
──────────────────

The weight of a demanding career, marriage, family, and your personal life does not have to crush you. Together we identify the rhythms and boundaries that support your desire to honor God, protect your relationships, and keep you mentally focused and fully capable of showing up and giving your best for the long haul. This is not about finding ways to do less. It is about doing what matters most.

Decision-Making
──────────────────

When you are standing at a crossroads and every option feels uncertain or like the wrong choice, faith has to take the lead. Together we will work to shift from a posture of fear - "What do I do?" - to a posture of faith - "What is God calling me to do?" We work through the noise together until clarity replaces paralysis and confidence replaces fear.

Difficult Relationships
──────────────────

Some of the hardest work we do happens not in the boardroom but in the relationships we are required to maintain every single day. Difficult supervisors, toxic peers, and draining team dynamics can quietly erode our confidence, our values, and our sense of calling if we let them. Together we will navigate those challenging relationships in a way that doesn't cost you important pieces of yourself, your integrity, or your faith. You do not have to leave who you are at the door to survive a difficult season at work.

The LAYER Method

A faith-centered coaching framework developed from lived experience, not just coaching theory.

Life is layered. The demands of a career, the weight of relationships, the tension between who you are and who you feel called to become - none of it fits neatly into a self-help checklist. I know this because I lived it for over two decades.The LAYER Method was born out of my own journey of trying to honor God in spaces that did not always make that easy. It is not a rigid program. It is a framework that moves with you, meeting you where you are and walking with you toward where God is calling you to go.

L • Listen
──────────────────

Before anything else, we slow down and Listen - not to the noise of the world, your family, your boss or colleagues, your inbox, or even your own fear - but to God. In the noisiest time in human history, hearing His voice requires intention. This phase is about creating the space to discern His voice through your story.

A • Align
──────────────────

Once we are truly listening, we begin the work to Align. This is where we examine the gap between the life we are living and the life God is calling us to. We surface your values, clarify identity, and begin to separate who you are from the stories, systems, and limiting beliefs that may have shaped you.

Y • Yield
──────────────────

Yield is the most spiritually costly phase, and often the most transformative. The world pulls hard. Its definitions of success, its timelines, its expectations are loud and relentless. Yielding means making an active, conscious choice to give way to God's direction rather than the world's demands. This is where faith becomes action.

E • Embed
──────────────────

Transformation without roots does not last. In the Embed phase we build the practices, rhythms, and anchors that reinforce the work you have done. We look for evidence of a more aligned story and where it may already be showing up in your life. We get intentional about establishing the daily habits that will ensure you stay grounded when the pressure returns.

R • Release
──────────────────

Release is not the end. It is the beginning of a new and improved chapter. Here we name what we are letting go of - the narratives, the fears, the identities that no longer serve us on our journey, and we step forward with clarity and commitment, embracing the season God has purposed us for.

The LAYER Method moves at your pace.No two clients move through this framework the same way. Some phases require more time. Some seasons call us back to an earlier layer before we can progress. That is not failure. That is faithfulness. I will walk with you, and we will both follow Him.If something here resonates, I encourage you to take the first step and book a free 30-minute consultation.
