About Jess

Hi, I'm Jess!

And I know what it's like to wake up one day and realize you're not sure what you believe anymore—or who you are without everything you were taught to be.

I grew up in a high-control evangelical Christian environment where I learned to look outside myself for the "right" answer asking questions like:

  • What does God want?
  • What am I supposed to believe?
  • What does the Bible say about this?
  • What should a good Christian woman do?
  • What if I get it wrong?

For a long time, I didn't realize how deeply that had shaped my relationship with my own voice.

I learned to second-guess my thoughts. My feelings. My needs. My questions. Even my own discernment.

And then my life began to change and I started to see how things didn't line up anymore. When my faith started unraveling, so did parts of my identity.

I wasn't only questioning what I believed about God.

I was questioning me.

  • Who am I if I don't believe everything I once believed?
  • What do I actually think?
  • What do I want?
  • Can I trust myself?
  • What does faith look like when it isn't built on fear?
  • Who is God really? And who am I becoming now?

I wish I could tell you I answered those questions quickly. I didn't.

I've walked through church hurt, religious deconstruction, infertility, foster care trauma, the death of one of my closest friends, career uncertainty, and seasons where the life I had built no longer felt like it fit.

And somewhere in all of that, something began to shift.

I stopped trying so hard to find someone who could tell me the right way forward. And I started learning how to listen to myself.

Not because I suddenly had every answer. I still don't.

But I've learned that I don't need certainty to trust myself.

That I can examine what I was taught without immediately knowing what I'll believe instead. That my needs, feelings, values, desires, and lived experiences matter. That faith can become something I choose and experience for myself rather than something someone else defines for me.

Most importantly, becoming isn't about finding some perfectly healed, finished version of myself. It's about giving myself permission to keep discovering who I am.

And that's why I do this work. Today, I help women do the same.

I'm a Faith & Identity Coach, seminary graduate, former Christian counselor, and ICF-certified coach.

But I'm not here to become another authority telling you what you're supposed to believe or who you're supposed to be.

You've had enough of that.

I'm here to give you a safe place to bring the questions you haven't known where to put. Together, we can untangle what you were taught from what you actually believe, explore what's yours and what was assigned to you, and make room for grief, anger, curiosity, uncertainty, hope—and whatever else shows up.

And little by little, you can learn to hear and trust your own voice again.

Because I believe...

  • Your questions are allowed here.
  • Your lived experience matters.
  • You don't have to abandon yourself to be good.
  • You don't need to have your entire faith figured out today.
  • You are allowed to change.
  • You are allowed to discover.
  • You are allowed to become.

And you don't need me to hand you another set of answers. You need a safe place to discover your own.

This work is an invitation to...
