Take control of your personal and relational development
What I offer
I offer consultation and coaching services to individuals, schools, and businesses who have heard my educational content via podcasts, workshops, seminars, or interviews and are looking for more direct input.
Consultation and Coaching Services
Consultation and coaching services are different from counseling in that its focus is to facilitate personal and relational development, not to treat psychopathology. Counseling deals primarily with the past of an individual, establishing a psychiatric diagnosis, working to resolve mental and emotional conflicts, all with the hope of gaining understanding to make the present better. Consulting looks at the present and sets goals for skill acquisition and performance improvement in the future. As such, consulting services are not appropriate for individuals who are significantly psychologically distressed or impaired. While counseling focuses on diagnosis and treatment, the focus of coaching is education and training.
*While the majority of my consulting is nationwide, I also offer counseling services to Virginia-based individuals seeking treatment for mental illness at Total Life Counseling, Inc.

School Consultation
Full-Day Workshops
The goal is to give a common understanding and language to both faculty and parents regarding the need and benefits of “healthy struggle” both in and out of the classroom. Additionally, group time with students is to help them better understand what shapes their perceptions of daily life, and how they can learn to be young adults who can do “hard things.”
The day is comprised of these three interactive presentations with Q&A:
Morning - “Perception and Maturity” 45-60 min session with teenage students
Afternoon - “Understanding Your Audience” 60-90 min session with faculty and administration
Evening - “Raising Sturdy Kids” parent forum 60 min session + 30 min Q&A

Parenting Retreat
1-day Parenting Retreat
The 1-day retreat will help parents focus on the basics of healthy parenting. Couples and single parents will learn how to approach parenting from the paradigm that most children are “normal” and in need of a common foundation of direction and training. During the 1-day retreat you will receive 6 hours of interactive group consultation and training (No worries - No role-play or powerpoint presentations).
Topics discussed:
The difference between “normal” and “abnormal” childhood
The correct role of emotions
Understanding “emotional disordering”
Learning how to allow your child/children to struggle in healthy ways
Appropriate burdens, responsibilities, and limits for children
Answering “What is the goal of parenting?”
What does it really mean to “impress” Truth (Deuteronomy 6:7) and “train up” (Proverbs 22:6) a child

Building Sturdy Marriages
Pre-marital Consultation
A marriage is designed to be the most significant commitment we make in our lifetime. A couple starting with the correct mindset is crucial. Pre-marital consults give you both a snapshot of your current relational functioning (strengths and struggles) as well as a firm understanding of what makes a healthy functioning marital relationship.
Pre-marital consultations begin with a couple completing the Prepare/Enrich Inventory. This is followed by five 45 minute appointments to review and discuss information generated from the Prepare/Enrich Inventory and to discuss foundational aspects of a healthy marital relationship.
Consultations can be done by teletherapy or in person in Roanoke, Virginia.
45 min x 5 | $650 + fees* | Get started
*Additional fee for Prepare/Enrich initial assessment tool.
Living Sturdy Lives
Business Consultation
Corporate Stress Management
Corporate stress management consultations include a series of employee/admin/leadership in-service trainings (typically 45 – 60 minutes). The primary focus is to give a better understanding of how our perceptions and overemphasis on our emotional experience causes dysfunction in our ability to manage daily stress. Topics are tailored to each unique business environment but often include basic stress management strategies, how to deal with difficult people, conflict management strategies, basic communication skills, and leadership training.

Executive/Leadership Coaching
Executive/Leadership coaching looks beyond the basics of “what makes a good leader” and addresses the three (3) essential areas for maintaining a healthy business:
Self-care
Team-care
Mission-care
This series of in-service training sessions focuses on these core areas of leadership development and maintenance as well as basic skill development in areas such as communication, conflict management and resolution, decision making, avoiding burn-out, etc.
Additional 1-on-1 and small group coaching sessions are designed to address specific needs for the Executive or Leadership team.
