Hi, I’m Joe. I am a graduate of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Columbia International University, a Christian institution with a rich history. As an ordained pastor, I bring over 16 years of experience counseling individuals and couples on depression, anxiety, trauma, leader development, relational wellness, and recovery from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. My approach integrates biblical principles with clinically informed practices, helping clients explore their stories and develop new skills for transformation and growth.

My pastoral counseling is designed to provide a supportive and compassionate environment for clients to address personal challenges, cultivate healing, and work toward their goals from a biblical perspective. While this counseling is not clinical or licensed psychotherapy, it is rooted in ethical practice and informed by my academic and experiential background. I am certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

I’m passionate about leading others to be free from the patterns that hold their lives back. I believe the Bible, coupled with sound counsel, provides the means to put off these patterns, change the ways we think, and to embrace a new life in Christ.

In addition to counseling, I have developed Freedom Fighters, a biblically-based recovery program for individuals struggling with sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. Hundreds of men and women have experienced healing, restored relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose through this program. I am also passionate about speaking and training on topics such as addiction recovery, trauma, biblical leadership, and personal growth.

I bring a diverse background to my counseling work, drawing from my experiences as a former full-time pastor, a U.S. Army officer and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran, and someone who has walked a personal journey of recovery and growth in the area of sexual addiction.

Whether you are seeking support for personal struggles, relational challenges, or leadership growth, I am honored to partner with you on your journey to greater freedom and fulfillment. I offer a safe place where we can partner together to reach your goals. You will be welcomed with nonjudgmental curiosity and compassion.
