A graduate from Liberty University with an M.A. in Pastoral Counseling and Towson University with a B.A. in English, Shalon draws on her unique life experiences, specialized education, and targeted training to help others identify their best next steps toward personal and professional goals. While her faith has helped her form an inclusive, culturally humble worldview, meeting people where they are to come alongside them for healing and growth, she does not push her faith on anyone. Building rapport and learning about the client’s experiences, desires, and overall worldview is essential to a successful coaching alliance, and Shalon has been trained to uphold the therapeutic bond in the highest regard. 

 

Navigating through many challenges of her own throughout life like chronic disease, single parenting, and abuse, Shalon has developed keen insight into life crises and transitions. Such experiences along with training in trauma-informed care, suicide prevention, assessment, intervention, and recovery, grief and loss, and many women’s issues–like self-image and identity, menopause, and relationships–has equipped Shalon to help life coaching clients in the following ways:​

  • Identify personal and professional areas for healing and growth

  • Boost self-confidence and awareness through emotional intelligence

  • Build healthier and more reliable decision-making abilities

  • Achieve clarity on personal and professional goals and paths

  • Cocreate plans for best next steps toward key objectives

  • Develop healthier coping skills in crisis care (including grief and loss, PTSD, and suicide)

  • Reframe unhealthy thoughts to free cognition toward healing and growth

  • Track, evaluate, and transform habits and patterns

  • Navigate major life transitions

• Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach, 2024

While some life coaches rely on little training or professional affiliation, Shalon holds membership with the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and the International Christian Counselors Association (ICCA) and is working toward board-certification with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Shalon also works closely with a strong, reliable network of mental health care practitioners that can provide additional care when life experiences limit your ability to show up for yourself in the coaching realm.

In her leisure time, Shalon enjoys traveling, golfing, tennis, reading, musicking, and spending quality time with her family, friends, and furbaby Remi. She is also a self-proclaimed foodie and culinary mixologist. 

 

With over 20 years experience helping others gain freedom and strength through coaching and support, Shalon is currently accepting adult and adolescent patients.
