Counseling

Face the hard questions that life requires you to ask. Gather with other travelers on the narrow road, pilgrims who acknowledge their confusion and feel their fears. Then, untangle those questions together in His Presence.
— Larry Crabb

No matter the issue, when we are the ones experiencing the hurt, we want it to stop. But sometimes our efforts to stop the pain only drive the infection deeper. It takes courage to stop doing what we have been doing to ignore or ease the pain. It takes courage to reach out for help. But there is great freedom and joy on the other side. 

Past trauma can significantly affect the here and now. Using current advances in trauma research and neuroscience, my desire is to help you see your pain, your hurt, your loss, and your story as something God desires to redeem and heal. I am trained as an EMDR therapist and can help you develop new pathways out of your painful trauma stories. Our hurt leaves us feeling alone, disconnected, desperate. But we have a God who takes the ashes and turns them into beauty. I desire to help you see how God wants to bind up your broken heart and set you free. You can schedule an appointment now via my easy-to-use online scheduling system or call me at 936-931-8051.

Couples Counseling

What if we viewed marriage counseling the same as we view changing the oil in our cars? Or rotating our tires every 10,000 miles?  Healthy marriages take investment. They take maintenance work. Couple therapy does not have to ONLY be for that last desperate moment right before divorce. Healthy marriages require tune-ups, investment, and attention.

Of course, couples’ counseling clearly involves some of those more "messy" moments: when communication has come to a screeching halt; where defensiveness and criticism are the name of the game; when understanding and compassion are long gone; when past trauma is significantly affecting the here and now. Trauma damages trust systems, self worth, and brings on the heavy blanket of hopelessness and despair. Using current advances in trauma research and neuroscience, I walk with couples to untangle the hurts that have been piling up for years, teach new and healthier ways of connecting, and work to embrace the grief over what has been lost. Don’t wait any longer. Let me walk with you to a place of healing. Counseling is available for weekly, 50 minute sessions, 3 Hour Therapy Intensives, or in an 8 hour concentrated format called Weekend Therapy Intensives.


It seems that the noisy, busy world conspires against our hearing wisdom and tries to make us absolutely deaf. It therefore is not surprising that we often wonder, in the midst of our very occupied and preoccupied lives, if anything is truly happening.
