Hi, I'm Richard

We all need help in walking through difficult times of our lives whether those times are past or present. I am committed to walking along side you on the road to freedom and healing that each of us must take.

​

As a Pastoral Counselor and Life Coach I use a collaborative approach that involves a cognitive/behavioral view alongside a faith based perspective. The integration of these approaches as well as my unique education and personal experience will help you achieve emotional, relational and spiritual health.

​

Throughout my life, my calling has been to help others. My professional career started with "At Risk Youth" teaching job skills and coaching life skills utilizing Horticultural Therapy. I spent twelve years in full-time ministry as a Youth Pastor teaching teens to be leaders in their church ministries and in their schools while challenging them in their spiritual growth. Prior to moving to Missouri in 2013, I worked in private practice for five years in Denver, Colorado specializing in men's sexual addiction, anger issues, emotional anorexia, self-worth, true intimacy and couples recovering from the pain of sexual addiction.

​

It can be overwhelming to find the right person to reach out to for yourself or your loved one. I also know how difficult it can be to take that first step which is why I offer an initial phone consultation to help determine if we are a good fit.
