My ideal client in this area is someone who simply comes curious, wanting to go deeper and live a truly meaningful spiritual life.

Individuals and families who want to explore their spiritual life, or for whom traditional religion has not fulfilled them often find my services helpful.

I also teach monastic principles to those who seek more in their spiritual walk at the top level of seeking God in their life. This form of spirituality is helpful for clients dealing with stress, and anxiety and seeking to slow down and be more present to life.

In spiritual counseling I focus on more obvious spiritual questions and answering them, like prayer, reading the Word of God, and your spiritual walk, but also on why God does things, how God talks with you, your relationships, stress, and the way your spirituality is lived out in your everyday life.

[Schedule your appointment] with me so we can uncover what God has for you and your life through your spiritual walk.

Pastoral family therapy is a type of faith-based psychological counseling that combines the Word of God together with Cognitive Therapy techniques that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts.

Pastoral Family therapy is often short term lasting usually 8-12 weeks in duration. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate.

Your specific treatment plan will depend on your family’s situation and what is needed to overcome any challenges you are experiencing with biblical-based solutions.

Pastoral Family therapy sessions can teach you skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you’re done going to your therapy sessions.

Grief can be felt in many different ways. Grief has several stages including:

• Denial or shock
• Anger
• Bargaining
• Depression
• Acceptance

As helpful as it may be to learn about these stages, they are not neatly packaged that a person experiences sequentially; rather, they are a cycle, and the bereaved may experience more than one at a time.

The goal of grieving is not to get things back to normal. After a loss, one’s entire life may change.

The goal is to find and accept a new “normal.”

Are you ready to get things back to “normal?” If so, [schedule an appointment] with me and see how Pastoral Counseling can change your life in a positive way.
