Hi, I’m Marge!
I’m an ICF Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC), Certified Brain Profiler (BPC), and Strengths Champion Certified Coach. Enduring values guide me, and I instinctively engage others to uncover their unique worth. Seizing the moment, I help clients recognize their created potential and motivate them to purposeful action. My specialty is accompanying clients through the discernment process, whether that means deciding on a vocation or career, relocating, navigating a life transition, managing a complicated relationship, addressing family dynamics, or making vital lifestyle changes. I’m passionate about helping people answer the “big” questions that weigh on their minds and hearts. I work with them to achieve personal and spiritual life goals, using their God-given emotional intelligence, strengths, charisms, and temperament. I have many years of experience working with people to sort things out, set them up, and move forward according to God’s will for them. As a Strengths Champion Certified Coach and Certified Brain Profiler, I am trained to administer and interpret emotional intelligence and CliftonStrengths assessments that measure brain styles and talents. With that information, I can help clients understand their assets and identify ways to maximize their potential in the workplace, relationships, and life skills. I also work with teams in business, parish, and ministry settings to enhance their cohesiveness and increase their effectiveness. My coaching practice is based on the premise of closing the gap between where clients are now and where God wants them to be so they can live a more joyful life in Christ!

I hold myself to the highest standards of integrity, credibility, and service.

I abide by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics and Core Competencies. I will never break our confidentiality agreement and will always act in my clients’ best interest.

“I was searching for the perfect blend of traits and talents in a life coach and voilà, I found them in Marge! She is respectful, kind, compassionate, positive, focused and an excellent communicator. I also found her to be trustworthy, dedicated and honest. From the get go she was able to tap into the issues I was having and kept me grounded while guiding me to search for answers. I am grateful to Marge and recommend her to anyone who is sincerely ready to move forward in life.” –C.W., San Antonio, TX
“Marge is a gifted listener and a patient coach. She demonstrates a genuine concern for the client and possesses a keen insight into human behavior. Marge can help you find direction and establish the goals you need to succeed.” –MG
“Through her attentive listening and thoughtful questioning, Marge helped me recognize the key elements behind a personal work-related struggle. Without her guidance to identify actionable steps that provided a breakthrough, I’d still be stuck or would’ve walked away from the project altogether. Thank you, Marge!” –S.K., Houston, TX
“Marge was truly a wonderful coach to work with. She is very empathetic, super easy to talk to, and a great listener. During our time together we spoke about several parts of life in ways that still benefit me to this day. Her insight and homework ‘assignments’ have helped me reach many goals that I didn’t know would be possible. I appreciate her not only as a coach but as a person.” –A.P., Milwaukee, WI
