About Me
What if more people had support not just to heal, but to grow boldly forward?
Through my work as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I began to notice a need that extended beyond traditional therapy—something more future-focused, action-oriented, and rooted in self-trust. And thus, True North Coaching came to life.
As a coach, counselor, and fellow traveler on the path of growth, I’ve learned that this work is guided by something greater than ourselves. I deeply believe we each carry an inner compass—and with the right support, we can learn to listen to it, trust it, and let it lead.

Hi, I’m Kris, a Life Coach and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a passion for helping people navigate life’s transitions with clarity and purpose. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from East Texas A&M University and am licensed in the state of Washington.
While coaching is not the same as therapy, my clinical background gives me a deep understanding of how our past experiences shape who we are today. It allows me to bring a trauma-informed, emotionally attuned lens to my coaching work. I draw from both personal experience and years of supporting clients in uncovering patterns, building self-trust, and moving through emotional blocks that often stand in the way of growth. This foundation allows us to go deeper and create more meaningful change—especially when navigating life transitions, burnout, or self-doubt.
I created True North Coaching to help you reconnect with your values, define your goals, and take intentional steps toward the life you envision—without focusing on the past, but rather on where you want to go. Whether you’re facing a career shift, relationship change, or simply seeking more balance and meaning, I’m here to walk beside you as you chart your own course.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll likely find me exploring the mountains of Washington. Nature inspires much of my work—like the mountains, life has its peaks and valleys. But with the right guidance, you can always find your true north.
Looking for mental health counseling? I also see clients through my therapy practice, Balanced Roots Counseling.
