With over two decades of experience educating and mentoring chaplains, I bring a depth of knowledge to the certification process that few coaches can match.
As National Faculty for ACPE (Association for Clinical Pastoral Education), I have trained chaplains at the highest level โ reviewing boards, shaping standards, and guiding hundreds of chaplains through the certification process. I know exactly what certifying boards are looking for because I've been part of that world for 20 years.
"I don't just know the certification process โ I helped shape it."

I had failed my board once and was dreading going back. The mock interview alone changed everything โ I walked in feeling prepared and calm. I passed on my second attempt.
My philosophy statement had always felt scattered. After just two sessions, I had a clear, confident voice. My board committee said it was one of the strongest statements they had read.
As a prison chaplain, I wasn't sure if this coaching would translate to my context. It absolutely did. Every session was relevant, practical, and encouraging.
I was a seminary student with no idea where to start. This coaching gave me a roadmap and the confidence to pursue certification with a clear strategy from day one.
