Hi, I'm Monte Torkelsen

Life doesn't go as planned.  This can lead   to confusion, uncertainty, even despair. As an experienced coach, I help individuals move through challenges like grief, major life transitions, and religious trauma. I've faced these obstacles myself. I have felt the pain and learned that it's possible to thrive again. You deserve to flourish. Let's talk about making that happen! 

Life has a way of shaking our foundations. Grief. Loss. Unexpected change. The unraveling of beliefs we once trusted. Seasons like these can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disoriented, and unsure of what comes next.


Coaching provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process life's challenges, explore important questions, and move forward with more confidence.


I've walked through many of these experiences myself. I know what it feels like when life doesn't unfold the way you expected. I also know that growth, meaning, and joy are still possible on the other side of overwhelm.


You don't have to navigate the journey alone.


If you're facing grief, a major life transition, questions about faith or identity, or simply feel stuck and ready for something more, I'd be honored to walk with you.

Grief Coaching

When Loss Changes Everything


Grief is heavy, unpredictable, and uniquely yours. The death of a loved one, or the loss of a relationship, dream, role or the future you expected, can leave us feeling unmoored. 


Together, we'll name the loss, honor your story, and find ways to carry both love and loss.


Grief changes us. It can also deepen us. 


There is still room for joy, meaning, and hope.
