No, I don't accept insurance. As a pastoral counselor, my services aren't covered by insurance panels. However, I offer flexible payment options to make counseling accessible for everyone.

To schedule your initial appointment, simply click the Free Consultation link on my website. During this complimentary consultation, we’ll explore your needs and discuss how we can best support you. If you choose to move forward, you’ll be able to schedule your first full appointment once all the paperwork has been completed.

We work with adults aged 18 and older, including men, women, and couples. Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual or couple, providing support for a wide range of issues including trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, and grief.

My counseling services are for men, women, and couples, especially women aged 25 and older. I focus on trauma, control issues, trust in God, and healing from partner betrayal, including sex-related struggles and infidelity. No matter where you are in your journey, I'm here to support you with compassion and understanding.

I don't offer grief counseling, but I can refer you to a trusted colleague who does.

In our sessions, we’ll start by exploring what brought you to counseling and identifying your goals for healing and growth. Together, we’ll create a practical and achievable plan of action tailored to your unique needs, focusing on both immediate challenges and long-term transformation. Along the way, we’ll address not only the surface issues but also deeper, underlying patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

As part of your healing process, I’ll ask you to have an accountability person—someone who can support and encourage you outside of our sessions. This added layer of support will help you stay on track as you work toward your goals. With a safe and compassionate space, we’ll also talk about your hopes, dreams, and the steps to move forward into a life of freedom and fulfillment.

Yes. I use The Genesis Process workbook with my clients, and there are self-evaluations and practical applications for every process. This allows the client to go deeper in their emotional healing journey and apply the tools they are learning.

I’ve done certification course work in substance abuse counseling, have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Counseling from the Colorado Theological Seminary, and received my Master’s in Clinical Christian Counseling from the Colorado Theological Seminary in April 2021. I’m a Certified Pastoral Counselor, Temperament Therapist, certified Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional, and certified Christian Life Coach with over 15 years of lay counseling ministry.

I use faith-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), blending biblical principles with effective therapeutic techniques to guide your healing journey.

I encourage you to commit to the work of emotional healing. In turn, you’ll get 100% commitment from me in helping you during your journey.

Also, before making this commitment, think of the time it will involve. It has taken years to get to where you are now. Your emotional healing will also take time.
