SERVICESThese Sessions are topic based and many people come to me for them specifically. I use the NCCA Temperament Test to modify each subject to the needs of the individual or group. Check any of the subjects you are interested in.
Each subject has lessons within it that I use to create a focused plan for you and spiritual direction. |

NCCA's Temperament Christian Counseling
Understanding our temperament gives us special knowledge of the inner workings of ourselves. We are able to recognize how we interact with our environment and the environment interacts with us. Our intellect, will, and emotions are determining factors in our experiences as we relate to others. We express ourselves and respond relationally according to our temperaments. When our needs are not met in fulfilling, healthy ways we will seek ways to feel better, oftentimes in ways that can be destructive to ourselves and those in our lives. Our biblically based testing generates an APS report result, which is a strong foundation for Christian counseling.

Biblically based counseling for
Anger, Stress, Anxiety Christian Counseling sessions are designed to help clients identify triggers, beliefs, fears, or attitudes that contribute to living with anger, stress, or anxiety. I teach counselees how to replace negative patterns of thinking and habits with truth and healthy behaviors through Biblically based religious coping (RECOP). We also work with clients to face fear in a safe environment and how to live decisively with freedom and wholeness.
Pastoral Support for Mental Health Diagnosis
I offer pastoral support for those who have (or a family member has) been given a diagnosis for a mental health condition by a doctor, psychotherapist, or clinician. I help counsel those desiring to build a support team, need prayer, encouragement, and a safe space as they go through uncharted waters. You may experience complexities, new information, the health care system, and need a place where multiple subjects come together. I have a chronically mentally ill family member and the 30 year journey opened up my ministry to others going through similar situations.
Women and Spiritual Care through Christian Counseling:
Women often need a female counselor to feel known and understood. They often have sensitive or hurt areas that need to be heard, understood, broken down systematically, and then cared for. The lives of women are complicated as they navigate their stage of life, caregiving, relationships, and trauma. Understanding your temperament gives great insight into the following areas of and spiritual care from a Christian counselor can help you feel supported in:

Pastors, Clergy, Chaplains, Missionaries, and Professional Ministers
Professional ministers need specific care from trained pastoral counselors who understand the applications, stress, and logistics of their work. At times, the support and social group surrounding clergy make it difficult for them to have safe places, friends, or to address their personal needs. I offer counseling services and a referral program as some churches and organizations do not offer internal counseling services. I gladly help professionals get the care they need and help them create referral services for their people. I offer:

Together we identify ways to establish a loving and supportive home, define roles and authority, and keys to a successful marriage.
