I am a Kentucky Licensed Pastoral Counselor providing professional counseling via telehealth. My primary focus is on personal counseling and helping clients build understanding, clarity, and direction in reaching towards a hopeful outlook and better emotional and mental health.

I am a licensed pastoral counselor, I am also an experienced school counselor for a local private school and I have spent 2 decades in ministry. I work with clients seeking counseling for various struggles in their life as well as those just seeking to improve their life and/or to reach goals they have set for themselves. Whether you are looking for therapy or life coaching I invite you to check out my profile as well as my website to learn more about me. I offer a unique set of experiences, licensure, and certifications.

What is Pastoral Counseling:
Pastoral counseling, or pastoral psychotherapy, is the integration of psychotherapeutic theories and techniques with theological and spiritual understanding. Kentucky Licensed Pastoral Counselors have received extensive psychotherapeutic training. They learn a broad range of counseling theories and techniques to conceptualize a person’s patterns of thought, affect, and behavior and make appropriate interventions in the therapeutic hour.

In addition to their psychotherapeutic training, KLPCs also receive robust theological education. They learn biblical hermeneutics, systematic theology, religious history, spiritual formation, and much more. At each step of the way, theology and spirituality are interwoven with psychotherapy as KLPCs seek to deeply understand their clients and help them to integrate their mind with their spirit in their therapeutic journeys.
