About
I’m Tina, a cradle Catholic, wife, and mother of three young adult children. When I’m not traveling, watching something humorous, or staying active, you’ll find me learning something new. My bookshelves and podcasts reveal three recurring interests: Catholic faith, neuroscience, and human flourishing.
In my 34 years as an Instructional Coach and World Language teacher, I always believed that words matter—especially the words we say to ourselves. St. Joan of Arc’s observation that “all battles are first won or lost in the mind” deeply resonates with me.
Approaching retirement, I discerned my charisms of teaching, encouragement, and knowledge through the Catherine of Siena Institute, and sought how God might be calling me to continue serving others. That journey led me to become a Certified Metanoia Catholic Mindset Coach.
Work With This Coach
I founded Resilience & Renewal Coaching to serve educators, ministry leaders, parents, caregivers, and others who spend much of their lives caring for those around them. These generous individuals often extend compassion, encouragement, and intentionality to everyone else while struggling to offer the same to themselves.
I understand that tension personally. I know what it is like to wrestle with overwhelm, worry, self-doubt, perfectionism, and taking on more responsibility than I was intended to carry. Through learning to examine my thoughts through reason, bring them to prayer, and cooperate with God’s grace, I discovered practical tools that transformed the way I approach challenges and daily life.
I partner with individuals in a forward-focused process that helps clarify goals, identify obstacles, strengthen resilience, and take meaningful action while remaining rooted in prayer and aligned with the teachings of the Catholic Church. My background as an educator and instructional coach enables me to break complex ideas into practical, actionable steps.
Together, we develop the skills of awareness, reason, and focus that help move from overwhelm to peace, confusion to clarity, and self-doubt to holy confidence. Rather than surrendering thoughts and emotions to circumstances, it becomes possible to renew the mind, respond intentionally, and see more clearly the illuminated path forward.
If you are seeking greater clarity, resilience, peace, and holy confidence, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward resilience and renewal.
