Live with purpose.

Lead with clarity.

Faith-based coaching to help you heal, grow, and flourish.

I work with individuals and teams who feel stretched thin, stuck, or unsure what comes next. Through personal coaching and workshops, I help you slow down, get clear on what really matters, and move forward with greater peace, resilience, and joy.


It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right things, on purpose.

Have you been stuck in a season where:

❌ You feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained—no matter how hard you try?
❌ You sense there’s more to life, but clarity keeps slipping through your fingers?
❌ You know what God says is true about you… but it’s hard to live like it’s really true?

❌ You’re constantly “on,” but secretly exhausted and unsure how to slow down?
❌ You’re leading others, yet feel isolated, unbalanced, or spiritually dry?
❌ You’ve outgrown old ways of thinking, but don’t know what’s next?

What you’ll gain:

You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

I know how overwhelming it can feel to lead, grow, or heal without clear support—especially when life gets noisy or heavy. You’re not weak for feeling stuck. You’re human.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked with individuals and teams around the world to rediscover clarity, rebuild resilience, and reconnect with what really matters. Whether you’re processing past hurt, leading a team, or pursuing spiritual and emotional maturity, you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Through 1:1 coaching and group experiences, I guide clients to greater emotional resilience, deeper connection with God and others, and a life of joyful purpose.

    Justin is awesome! I’ve been working with him for about 8 months now. Before I started coaching with Justin, I just found myself stuck. Struggling with an anxious heart, I had no sort of framework for boundaries, and it all left me exhausted. I knew what God said was true about me but I struggled to be able to live like it was true. If you struggle with any of those, or you want to start a path to developing emotionally healthy relationships and grow deeper relationship in your relationship with God, then Justin will be extremely helpful to you! I’m so grateful for Justin and being able to have this experience!

    Justin's ability to break down complex challenges into manageable steps has been invaluable in helping me overcome obstacles and achieve personal milestones. What truly sets Justin apart is his genuine investment in his clients' well-being and growth. He doesn't just offer advice; he actively listens, asks thought-provoking questions, and provides unwavering support. His commitment to my journey was evident in the progress I've made under his guidance.

    Looking back, my decision to work with Justin has been life-changing. The growth I have experienced, both spiritually and in my daily life, is a testament to his expertise and dedication. If you are seeking a coach who will walk alongside you, empower you to unlock your potential, and guide you towards meaningful transformation, I wholeheartedly recommend Justin.

    Justin is a fantastic coach and more importantly a fantastic person. I came to him in the beginning of this year seeking spiritual growth, advice, and counseling on how to pursue a Christ-centered life. Justin is extremely approachable and is an expert listener. He also has an uncanny ability to find meaning behind everything that you tell him. He has guided me through my relationship with the Lord in providing passages, books of the Bible, and outside resources. He has provided me with several lifelong practices that continue to influence my everyday life. He has also helped me with my relationship with my (now) fiance, providing Christ-centered advice on how to care for my significant other. I continue to meet with Justin and learn from and grow with him in his advice and guidance from the Lord.

At Balanced Coaching, I know you want to live—and lead—with purpose, clarity, and calm.
Whether you’re navigating a personal crossroads or leading a team that feels a little off-track, you’re not alone.

But here’s the hard part—life gets loud. Work gets messy. Even with good intentions and a full calendar, you can end up feeling stuck, scattered, or spiritually drained. For individuals, that might look like anxiety, exhaustion, or just feeling... off. For teams, it shows up in miscommunication, tension, or a slow erosion of trust.

I believe no one thrives in isolation.

I understand how it feels to hold things together on the surface while wondering, deep down, if things will ever change. That’s why I offer coaching and workshops that create space to reflect, realign, and start fresh—personally and professionally.

Here’s how we move forward:

  1. Schedule a free call

  2. Clarify your needs and build a plan

  3. Begin your journey—toward wholeness, growth, and meaningful impact

So take that first step. You don’t have to keep pressing on without support.

You can stop spinning your wheels—and start moving forward with clarity, resilience, and joy.

My Story

I grew up knowing about God—but in my early 20s, life unraveled. Anxiety, depression, and a spiritual crisis left me searching for answers that Bible reading and prayer alone couldn’t fully resolve.

What changed everything for me was learning how emotional health, relational connection, and spiritual maturity all work together. Through tools like attachment theory, mindfulness, and historic Christian practices, I began to truly heal—and to connect with God in a way I never had before.

Now I help others walk that same path: building resilience, healing past wounds, and growing into the joyful, flourishing life God designed them for.

My Approach

  • Diagram illustrating the Life Model with three sections: 'What Should Have Happened,' 'What Is Happening,' and 'What Could Happen.' Each section includes steps and explanations related to human development and societal impact. The left section describes an idealized lifespan, the middle section details challenges in the current world, and the right section outlines a potential redemptive plan. The background colors differ for each section: yellow, red, and blue, respectively.

    The Life Model

    Inspired by The Life Model: Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You, I focus on building emotional and relational maturity by addressing wounds, strengthening resilience, and fostering joy-filled connections. This model integrates biblical principles with insights into brain science and relational skills, helping you grow from the past and live with greater freedom.

    I believe in the power of encountering God directly in your growth journey. Immanuel Prayer invites you to experience His presence, uncover His perspective on your life, and receive the peace, healing, and guidance only He can provide. It’s a powerful process that fosters deeper intimacy with God and aligns your heart with His truth.

By focusing on cultivating joy, gratitude, hope, and resilience, you’ll develop a growth mindset that reflects God’s design for human flourishing. This blend allows you to live a life marked by both purpose and peace, firmly rooted in your faith.
