Relationship Life Coach
"It’s not just about holding it all together; it’s about finding peace, presence, and deeper connection in your relationships."
About Carla
Relationships have always been one of my greatest joys in life.
The sweetest and most grounding relationship is my relationship with God. From that foundation, every other relationship has grown.
For over 30 years, I have been married to my husband, and together we home educated our three children until adulthood. Those years were filled with growth as we learned how to communicate, resolve conflict, nurture confidence, and cultivate deep connection within our family. I have also walked alongside our children as they navigated friendships, disappointments, and milestones of their own.
Now I delight in building meaningful relationships with my grandchildren each week. This fruitful season has been an extraordinary gift to my heart.
Through every stage of life, my heart has remained the same. I want to help people walk through life with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Life Coach?
How does Life Coaching differ from Therapy?
A Life Coach partners with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. This partnership focuses on a client's future goals rather than their past, guiding them through a process of self-discovery and accountability.
Both modalities work toward change. Therapy evaluates problems and looks to the past for understanding to inform the present. Therapists then give advice to aid the client’s perception. Life Coaching addresses what needs changing or strengthening and helps the client move forward to meet their desired goals. Life Coaches ask questions to assist the client in finding their own solutions.
Is a Life Coach only for people who are struggling?
What if I want coaching on something other than relationships?
No, Life Coaching is not only for those who are struggling. As healthy people, we all have areas where we feel stuck, areas where we want to become more proficient and areas we want to explore to move forward with excellence. My clients usually bring a combination of those topics to their sessions.
While I specialize in relationship coaching, I’m also here to support you with whatever is on the forefront of your mind each session. Some of my clients have brought relationship challenges at first and as time went on brought other topics. Some of my clients started with matters regarding their small business and later addressed more personal topics. Feel free to bring any topic or goal to our sessions as we will tailor the coaching to what matters most to you that week.
Do you only coach women?
What happens during a typical Life Coaching session?
No, although most of my clients are female, I have male clients as well.
Sessions typically begin with the client sharing updates on how their previous action steps progressed. After debriefing those experiences, we either continue developing the existing goals or shift focus to a new topic the client wants to explore. Together, we’ll clarify the direction for the session, and I’ll ask questions to support deeper reflection and awareness. Toward the end, my clients will identify key insights and determine specific action steps to move closer to their goals.
Is everything I say confidential?
Confidentiality is a top priority in our coaching relationship. Everything we discuss in our sessions remains strictly confidential, except for situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. I adhere to the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics, which guides my professional conduct and standards, and through which I hold my coaching credentials.
Why do you coach by phone?
I choose to coach by phone because it creates a comfortable, focused space for deep, meaningful exploration for both of us. Without the pressure of being on camera or in person, many clients feel more at ease. It also gives you the flexibility to put on your best “thinking face,” and to be wherever you feel most relaxed. Coaching by phone helps us connect in a way that’s simple, personal, and deeply effective.
How quickly will I see results?
How many months will I need a Life Coach?
That really depends on your motivation and the action steps you create and complete. Some clients notice shifts after just one or two sessions, such as more clarity, confidence, or a new direction. For deeper changes, like building confidence, improving relationships, or shifting long-standing patterns, it will take more time and consistency. Coaching isn’t a quick fix, but it is a powerful process. I’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you stay focused, accountable, and encouraged as your results unfold.
There’s no fixed timeline and the length of coaching depends on your goals. Some clients work with me for a few months to focus on a specific challenge. Others choose to continue long-term, using coaching as a continual, trusted source of support. As new challenges, opportunities, and goals arise, coaching becomes a consistent space to stay focused, grow with intention, and navigate the natural flow of life with greater clarity, confidence and connection.
How will I know if I’m a good fit for your coaching style?
I have some questions; can I get those answered before I move forward?
Our first call is a perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other, talk about what you're looking for, and see how my approach aligns with your needs. There is no pressure and it’s simply an honest conversation to explore if working together feels like the right fit. Plus, I’d be honored to offer you a complimentary coaching session so you can experience coaching with me firsthand. The best coaching relationships are built on trust and connection, and we’ll both get a feel for that from the very start.
Absolutely! Schedule a complimentary Informational Call and we can see if this is a good time for you to start Life Coaching.
