About Grace…

Personal Financial Life Coach & Educator

Throughout my financial coaching journey, I’ve developed a deep passion for helping individuals rebuild during seasons of financial overwhelm. This includes helping with a high debt-to-income ratio, significant credit challenges, or simply feeling unsure where to start.

As a Certified Financial Life Coach, I guide clients from financial confusion. As a Certified Credit Counselor and Personal Finance Educator, I give clarity. My approach is grounded in practical strategy, steady accountability, and empowerment — not shame.

My mission is simple: I educate clients about the fundamentals of personal finance. I also equip them while creating a spending plan. This plan reflects their values, priorities, and real life. Together, we build structure. I offer guidance and accountability. And you learn to trust yourself again.

I earned my MBA from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I spent several years in the business world and academic world. In 2018, I discovered financial coaching. What began as professional curiosity quickly became my purpose.

I went on to become a Board Certified Financial Life Coach through the Center for Credentialing and Education. Later, I earned my Certified Credit Counselor designation through the National Association of Certified Credit Counselors. This extra certification allows me to give deeper guidance in credit rebuilding, debt management, and long-term financial stability.

Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals navigating debt, financial trauma, major life transitions, and economic control. I’ve helped clients pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. They have also built meaningful savings. This was not done through restriction or fear-based tactics. Instead, we used sustainable systems that create lasting change.

As someone who understands financial rebuilding both personally and professionally, I believe deeply that:

Financial confidence is not about perfection, it’s about clarity, structure, and steady progress.

Through Coaching with Grace, I offer trauma-informed financial strategy designed for real life. I help you rebuild with confidence. You can create financial success on your own terms.
