Ways to work together

Story work, in the form
that fits your season.

Four paths, one posture — listen well, tell the truth, and move at a pace that heals. Every one begins with a short intro conversation.

01

Counseling & Coaching

Pastoral · narrative · trauma-informed

Ongoing, one-to-one care for the story you're living. We move slowly enough to hear what's really there — naming old narratives, tending wounds, and bridging the Gospel into your particular story.

What to expect

  • Regular sessions, in person or online
  • Narrative Focused Trauma Care approach
  • Honest conversation, held with care
  • A faith-rooted, unhurried pace

Who it's for

  • Anyone carrying a story they're ready to understand
  • Seasons of transition, grief, or formation
  • Those wanting faith and healing held together
FormatWeekly or biweekly
SettingIn person (Atlanta) or online
NotePastoral care, not clinical therapy

02

Intensives

Focused · immersive · restorative

A day or two set apart for the work that doesn't fit a weekly hour. We go deep into a specific story or season — guided, prayerful, and spacious enough to let something actually shift.

What to expect

  • A half-day, full-day, or two-day format
  • Focused story work with breaks for rest
  • Space to process without the clock
  • A path forward to carry home

Who it's for

  • A pressing season that needs concentrated time
  • People at a distance who travel in
  • Anyone craving depth over frequency
FormatHalf-day to two days
SettingIn person or online

What to expect

  • Discovery, then a tailored engagement
  • Care strategy and team formation
  • A narrative, trauma-aware framework
  • Ongoing or project-based support

Who it's for

  • Churches building a culture of care
  • Ministry teams and leadership
  • Organizations at the faith / mental-health edge

Teaching & Training

Talks · workshops · equipping

Equipping others to do this work. Whether a conference keynote, a workshop, or a training cohort, I help groups learn to read story well and care for one another with a trauma-informed, Gospel-shaped posture.

What to expect

  • Keynotes, breakouts, or multi-session training
  • Story engagement & group facilitation
  • Practical, experiential teaching
  • Tailored to your context

Who it's for

  • Conferences and retreats
  • Church staff and lay-care teams
  • Schools, nonprofits, and small groups

Whatever the form, the work is the same: slow down enough to hear the real story, and tell the truth about it with kindness.
The rhythm of rest and calling

Not sure which fits?

That's exactly what the intro conversation is for. Tell me where you are, and we'll find the right starting point together.
