Working With Churches
Currently Taking Clients
I offer group learning opportunities tailored for churches, leveraging my extensive experience as a former youth pastor for a decade. This background has equipped me with valuable insights into the dynamics of families, church environments, and the needs of teens.
My current focus is on working with men, couples, and families, providing holistic learning experiences that foster growth within the context of faith. These group sessions are designed to encourage church community members to learn and develop together, strengthening their relationships and deepening their understanding of their faith.
Additionally, I offer specialized development groups for pastors and youth pastors. These sessions address the unique challenges faced in church work, providing a supportive environment for personal and professional growth. Through collaborative learning, participants can share experiences, gain new perspectives, and cultivate resilience in their ministry roles.

The rapid growth and subsequent decline of some evangelical churches in West Michigan have left many individuals grappling with feelings of betrayal, confusion, and loss. These feelings often stem from experiences that diverge sharply from one’s expectations of community, support, and spiritual growth. This reality creates a pressing need for healing and transformation.
The process of healing from faith trauma is multifaceted, encompassing both the deconstruction of painful beliefs and the reconstruction of a more authentic spiritual identity. Deconstruction involves unpacking harmful teachings, letting go of rigid interpretations, and addressing the emotional scars left by toxic environments. However, equally crucial is the reconstruction phase, where individuals redefine their beliefs, find new ways to connect with their spirituality, and explore healthier forms of community.
