Life beats you up sometimes. But you still have God-given purpose. So let's talk about it. And then let's tap into your strengths and abilities and put them work so you can pursue that purpose. Therapy with me involves honest reflection, thoughtful questions, and practical steps toward greater clarity and purpose as we work through issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and loss. We'll explore matters most to you, and where you hope to see change. As clarity develops, we'll work to identify practical steps that can help move life in a direction marked by greater hope, satisfaction, and purpose.

I work with individuals and couples eager to install positive changes in their lives. Let's examine what's working and not working and use this knowledge to help find a good path forward.

If you are hungry for purpose and deeper more satisfying relationships, give me a call. We'll dive in.

I cannot think of a presenting problem, personal background, or personality type that would be a bad fit for Joel. This isn't just a personality thing. His philosophy is mining for what matters to you and finding it. And he means it.

Types of Therapy

Christian Counseling

Existential
Motivational Interviewing
Psychoanalytic
Reality Therapy
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
Strength-Based

I use existential questions throughout therapy, because when we are able to answer, "Why does this matter so much to me?" about any important area of life, it often gives us clarity about what we need to do next.
