You can have a better marriage, healthier relationships and a peaceful, fulfilled life
Counseling to help you identify and overcome potential issues within your relationships and yourself
What is Counseling
A safe space to talk about Anything and Everything
It’s frustrating and sometimes overwhelming when you don’t understand why you do the things you do, and even more when you don’t know why you can’t stop. It’s astounding how much anger and resentment can happen in a marriage or relationship, sometimes even in a very short time, and it makes you want to give up. It’s not hard to get anxious or depressed, become hopeless or worse from all the pressures of life, whether it’s from failures, traumatic events that you didn’t ask for, thoughts that just won’t stop, or conflict in relationships.
All this makes you feel unsafe, anxious and even depressed when you realize that you don’t think you can overcome the difficulties in your life. You don’t feel like you can keep up the pace and continue living this way.
At Journey Family Counseling, we believe you deserve to have a safe space to talk about anything and everything with a counselor who will walk alongside you in your journey to improving your life and relationships.

About Jeff
With 25 years in pastoral ministry and nearly a decade of professional counseling,
I’ve seen so many individuals and couples who struggle and are experiencing difficulty or even trauma in their lives. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, confused, and in pain (even if we don’t want to admit it), and I use the same techniques for myself that I use with my clients to improve my marriage and manage my emotions, and find more peace/fulfillment in my life. I’ve spent over 3 decades helping people work through religious trauma, which is why I say that we journey together.

FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Be Sure You Can Fix My Problems?
The job is not to “fix” you. It is to discover what areas for which you need help. Through consistent use of the tools you will learn, you will be able to understand yourself, regulate your emotions and enhance your relationships. The counseling relationship is paramount. To make sure you are comfortable with me, I provide a one-time free and brief phone consultation, if necessary. We will briefly discuss your presenting problem, potential therapeutic strategy, and how I might approach our time together. If you feel we are not a good fit together, I have several therapists in the area to whom I can refer you. The goal is to find you the best help possible.
Isn’t Therapy Expensive?
At just $150 per session, You get more than just your 50-minute session. I am available by email and also provide tools to help between sessions.
Do You Take My Insurance?
Insurance and counseling can be complicated. Medical insurance is helpful if you are diagnosed with a medical problem. However, it often doesn’t cover relational issues such as marital distress, parenting, and the like. It requires a mental illness diagnosis for a client to use insurance.
What If I Don’t Want Religious Stuff Forced Down My Throat?
I am not judgmental and welcome and affirm any perspective and all lifestyles (LGBTQIA+, Swingers, ENM, Poly, and the like). Although I have a background in the Christian faith, I deeply appreciate other faiths and will meet you where you are, regardless of your faith or choice to not engage in it.
