My Story

Hello and welcome! I am Diane, a dedicated Christian Mental Health Coach from Wisconsin, blessed with a loving husband, three amazing adult sons, and a beautiful daughter with special needs, whom I homeschool.

My life has been a journey of healing and growth—I grew up as a broken and hurting child which continued through adulthood, battling deep inner struggles, while watching my parents and siblings wrestle with their own. My father has an distinguished legacy of service, having served as a Marine, Vietnam veteran, police officer, Chief of Police, firefighter, and EMT. I witnessed how he navigated his own brokenness and the burdens of his career and personal life. Observing my family while navigating their own brokenness impacted my life on many levels and amplified my struggles.

However, despite my own pain, I have always been driven by a strong desire to serve & help others, often prioritizing their needs above my own. I continue to view serving others as a divine gift that brings me comfort & helps alleviate my own pain.

Now, as a parent, I have witnessed firsthand the impact of trauma our daughter experienced before she became a cherished part of our family. Navigating the challenges of her special needs and her past trauma have made our journey very difficult, yet deeply rewarding as we celebrate milestones that doctors deemed were impossible. But with God & love, anything is possible.

By God’s grace, a few years ago I have finally found true healing and acceptance through Jesus Christ and I am currently very active in our church’s youth group, volunteer where it’s needed, and mentor several wonderful young ladies.

Drawing from my own journey of overcoming deep personal struggles and trauma, I bring empathy, resilience, and a profound understanding of the challenges faced by those impacted by trauma and those and their families who have faithfully served us. My coaching is uniquely interwoven with biblically grounded and evidence-based strategies and real-life experience. Grace Overflowing embodies the motto “Where Grit Meets Grace” reflecting a commitment to accompany my clients on their journey toward wholeness and well-being by God’s grace.
