Empowering You to Achieve Happiness

Our faith touches every part of life — the good, the hard, and everything in between.

Sometimes, religious rules or expectations can feel heavy or confusing, even adding to our struggles. But a true spiritual connection — a deep and personal relationship with God — can be a powerful source of healing, clarity, and strength. Christian counseling offers a path to rediscover hope, deepen our understanding of who we are in Christ, and align our journey with God’s Word and promises. 

Individual Counseling

Our individual counseling services are designed to help you overcome personal challenges and achieve your goals. We provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change.

Couples Counseling

Our couples counseling services can help you and your partner improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger relationship. Whether you are facing challenges related to intimacy, trust, or other issues, we can help you work through them and achieve greater satisfaction in your relationship.

About New Life Pastoral Counseling

Our Mission

At New Life Pastoral Counseling, we are dedicated to providing compassionate counseling services to individuals and couples struggling with real-life issues. Our goal is to empower our clients to achieve their personal and professional goals, and to improve their overall quality of life.

Our Approach

 

I use an integrative Christian Bible-based approach with Scripture as the basis of therapy. I select models and interventions that suit the client’s presenting issues and needs. 


There's no cookie cutter one-size-fits-all method. I customize my approach to the individual client allowing me to deliver an informed, cohesive and unique method for each individual's needs.

We provide evidence-based counseling services for adult individuals that emphasize the mind-body-spirit approach. 


We are Christian-based, however, we welcome clients with no faith affiliation. We respect ethnicity and  heritage practices, and incorporate faith into treatment as much as the client is ready for.

Individual Counseling

 

Missommunication, lack of trust, conflict, discord, misunderstanding, and bickering all find their way into our relationships at times, this is the plight of being human alongside another human.

When this happens, what you do next matters. These can be times of growing together or times of growing apart. These times can feel too uncertain, too far gone, too damaged, too overwhelming, but there are resources to help. It is in these times that finding a safe place that can offer hope, healing, and building a relationship tool kit that can save the story and find a resolution.

Therapy for married couples and dating partners is a safe place. That place where you will be able to be vulnerable, be open, and find what you need.

Trauma Counseling

Individual Counseling

Trauma Counseling

Our trauma counseling services can help you overcome the effects of traumatic events.  Trauma isn’t just something that happened—it’s something that stays if it isn't dealt with.  It lives in your body, distorts your thoughts, and traps you in an invisible cycle of anger, sadness, and shame. You try to “move on” and act like everything’s okay, but inside, you're exhausted—constantly reacting, constantly holding it together while falling apart. 



 But therapy changes that. It offers you more than coping—it offers clarity, safety, and real healing. It helps you understand what’s happening inside your body and why it feels so overwhelming. It teaches you how to regulate your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and release the grip of trauma. You’re not broken—you’re human. And healing is not only possible—it’s your right. 

Grief Counseling

Premarital Counseling

Trauma Counseling

Our grief counseling services can help you cope with the loss of a loved one. Providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings of grief, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your grief and move forward.

Anxiety Counseling

Premarital Counseling

Our anxiety counseling services are designed to help you overcome fear, stress, and anxiety.  

 

Anxiety is a feeling of being overwhelmed because you think you do not meet perceived standards and mistakenly believe the world has no place for you. 


 We show you how to overcome those thoughts and feelings, to gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies to manage your anxiety.
