Counseling
There are experiences in life that crush us. Whether it’s the agony of divorce, the anguish of betrayal, or the indescribable distress birthed from trauma, some chapters of our lives place us at Suffering’s front door.
When navigating these painful moments, you can feel like you're all alone, as if no one understands. That's a lie. There is a community of people who desire to walk alongside you, not only to help you heal but to draw closer to God. Schedule a consultation with one of our trauma-specialized counselors.

I come to Faith on the Journey with over 29 years of experience as a spiritual care provider. I’m a graduate of Truman State University and Eden Theological Seminary. My wife Cathy and I were married in 2007 and we reside in eastern Missouri.
I served churches as an ordained clergy person for 12 years. In 2004 I participated in a 12-month Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Residency at Forest Park Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, where I successfully attained 5 units of CPE. Currently, I work as a spiritual care coordinator for a Hospice and have served in this capacity since 2005. I recently taught for American Public University as an adjunct faculty member in their Undergraduate Psychology and Religion departments. From 2016 to 2020 I served as a Pastoral Care Minister, facilitating grief groups, overseeing a team of pastoral care volunteers, and providing direct pastoral care to church members. I feel blessed and excited to be joining Faith on the Journey as a Trauma Healing Guide.
