Catholic Human Formation Leader and Certified Relationship Coach

I’m Leslie—a wife, mother, grandmother, former traumatic brain injury rehabilitation therapist, retired Catholic home educator, and founder of Trinity Anchored Formation, LLC.

Through years of rehabilitation work, homeschooling, parish ministry, marriage ministry, and my own healing and formation journey, one question gradually came into focus:

How can knowing myself better help me receive and respond to God’s love—and more freely love the people He places before me?

I came to understand that self-knowledge is not the destination. When it is anchored in Christ, self-knowledge helps us recognize our God-given design, understand our recurring patterns, and grow in self-possession. With greater freedom, we become better able to love God with our whole selves and give ourselves in love to others—without losing, exhausting, or making an idol of ourselves.

As a Catholic human formation leader and Certified Catholic Formation Coach, specializing in relational growth, I accompany individuals and Christian couples who are hungry for growth but are not necessarily in crisis. Through the Trinity Anchored Formation Methodology, I facilitate insight, help people align their lives with what matters, coach intentional growth, and educate them with practical language, frameworks, and relational skills.

This forward-looking, action-oriented approach is distinct from therapy. Together, we make sense of what is happening, identify recurring patterns and growth edges, and practice meaningful steps toward greater freedom, connection, and relational maturity.

An essential discovery runs through all of this work:

My way is not the only way.

What feels loving, clear, reassuring, respectful, or connecting to me may not be experienced the same way by someone else. Growing in self-knowledge helps us become relationally bilingual—better able to understand another person, seek their genuine good, and express love in ways they can recognize and receive.

My work is grounded in Sacred Scripture, the sacraments, the traditions of the Church, and the Catholic understanding of the human person. Christ’s invitation to “become like a child” is not mere sentimentality. It is an invitation to receive God’s love with trust, respond to Him with our whole selves, and fulfill His command to love our neighbor as ourselves with freedom and fidelity.

Love received from God becomes love returned to God and given to others.

Here, you’ll rediscover who you are, Whose you are, why you are here—and how you are being invited to love.
