Hello friend! I'm Missy.
Coach. Creator. Entreprenuer. Therapist. Speaker.
I have worked in many settings over the last 20+ years including education, social services, management and community mental health. I had someone ask me recently why I wanted to add coaching to my career.
The answer is really quite simple: I don't think everyone needs therapy, and coaching is an amazing way for me to meet other women where they are on their journey. Truly, I love that I get to walk with people and encourage them without having to diagnose them! (Learn more about the difference between coaching & counseling here.)
My own story is reflected in my work and my passion. I have been lost and found. I've been anxious, depressed and incapacitated. I've overcome church hurt and harmful teaching that made me think my anxiety meant I wasn't a good enough Christian for God to love. I've lost jobs and relationships, just like most of us out there have. I've changed careers and reinvented myself when God has nudged.
I learned that I needed to make some important shifts in my mindset and life and that let me become who I am created to be. I've learned to defeat the lies that had me bound and create healthy mindsets and beliefs about myself, God and others.
I still work as a therapist as the co-founder of the Unboxed Grace Counseling Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where I serve as the CEO & Clinical Director. I reside in Fort Wayne, Indiana with my husband. We have two sons and two dogs.
Fun facts: I'm obsessed with Chick-fil-a, Boston Terriers & dark chocolate and I love serving on our worship team as a vocalist with my husband.
