How is a Pastoral Counselor Different?

Pastoral counselors have undergone the same training as a clinical counselor. As a general rule, pastoral counselors will tend to integrate faith into their sessions more often than a clinical counselor.


I approach counseling and coaching from a Christian perspective, but our services are available to Kentucky residents regardless of religious affiliation.

Cost


$60 per session

Sessions are 50 minutes in length and can be in-person or online. All telehealth (online) clients must live in Kentucky.

Counseling & Therapy Services

Processing Your Birth Story

Childbirth is a profound journey that encompasses a wide range of emotions, from overwhelming joy to deep sorrow. "Processing Your Birth Story" is a specialized counseling service designed to support individuals and families as they navigate the complex emotional landscape that can follow the arrival of a new baby. Whether your experience was uplifting or fraught with challenges, our compassionate approach provides a safe space for you to explore, understand, and reconcile your feelings about your birth experience.

Miscarriage & Loss

Confronting the pain of miscarriage and loss is a journey through profound grief, marked by questions, longing, and the search for solace. This delicate time requires compassionate support and understanding, offering a space to grieve, heal, and find meaning in the aftermath of loss. Our counseling service is dedicated to walking beside you through this valley, providing a shoulder to lean on and strategies to navigate your healing process. In the face of loss, we're here to help you find a path forward, carrying your memories with love and hope for the future.

Postpartum Depression

The arrival of a new baby is often heralded as a time of unparalleled joy, yet for many, it's shadowed by the unexpected onset of postpartum depression. This profound shift can leave mothers feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and hopelessly alone. Our counseling service provides a lifeline during these turbulent times, offering understanding, support, and effective strategies to navigate the complex emotions of postpartum depression. Together, we'll work towards healing, helping you reconnect with yourself and your family in healthy, joy-filled ways.

Anxiety

Anxiety, a pervasive whisper that turns everyday situations into mountains of worry, affects millions, making it a leading mental health concern of our time. This counseling service focuses on equipping you with effective coping skills to silence the whisper of anxiety, enabling you to lead a life marked by peace and resilience. Through a blend of therapy and practical exercises, learn how to dismantle fears and navigate your world with a newfound confidence, transforming how you experience the challenges and opportunities life presents.


Depression

In a world that often demands constant positivity, facing the depths of depression can feel isolating. As one of the most prevalent mental health challenges, depression touches the lives of many, casting a shadow over daily experiences and diminishing one’s sense of joy and purpose. This counseling service is dedicated to breaking through the stigma, offering evidence-based strategies and supportive care that empowers individuals to navigate the fog of depression. From mild to severe cases, we're here to help you rediscover light, hope, and the strength to move forward.

Marriage & Family

Marriage and family embody some of the closest — and most difficult — relationships in our lives. Learning skills to navigate these relationships can positively impact your home life and future generations. Embarking on the parenting journey is an adventure filled with love, joy, and inevitable challenges. Without a manual to guide the way, it's easy to feel lost in the wilderness of temper tantrums, sleepless nights, and parenting dilemmas. Our counseling service offers a compass to navigate this journey, providing support, strategies, and insights to help you raise children who are not only well-behaved but also resilient, empathetic, and filled with character. Whether you're a new parent or seasoned in the art of child-rearing, we're here to help you feel confident and in control.
