Pastoral Counseling
Supporting you in embodying your spiritualityCompassionate support for life’s challenges
Life can be overwhelming. You may be carrying the weight of grief, anxiety, or a deep sense of uncertainty. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationships, faith, or personal challenges that feel impossible to navigate alone. You long for clarity, healing, and peace—but you’re not sure where to start.
If this resonates with you, do you find yourself wondering…
Why do I feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve me?
How can I heal from past wounds and move forward with hope?
Where is God in the midst of my struggles?
How do I navigate life’s transitions with faith and confidence?
These are deep, human questions, and you don’t have to face them alone.
What is Pastoral Counseling?
Pastoral counseling provides a compassionate space for healing and personal growth. It integrates psychological insight with spiritual wisdom, offering support for emotional, relational, and faith-related challenges. Unlike traditional therapy, pastoral counseling is rooted in a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnection of mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you are experiencing grief, relationship struggles, stress, doubt, or major life transitions, pastoral counseling offers guidance and support in a way that honors your spiritual journey.

“Hope is not defined by the absence of hardship. Rather, hope is found in God’s grace in the midst of hardship. Hope is found in his promise to give us a future.”
― Stuart Scott, Counseling the Hard Cases
What People Are Saying
“Chris is gifted at asking questions. His questions seem to come from a natural well of curiosity, and that lends a compassionate atmosphere to our chats. Not unlike a good counselor, his questions help people open themselves to their own conclusions, hopes, faults, and personalities.”
— Brandon Wiegand
“I like that you aren't impatient. You let me talk, and then help guide me and give me food for thought. I like that you challenge me and push me, but also remind me to be kind to myself.”
— Michael Mudd
“Chris at Pilgrim Endurance offers a resource worth its weight in gold….The Christian journey is often referred to as a race (Isaiah 40:31). Working with Chris has changed my life and now my training. He not only strengthens my running but also my spirit. I highly recommend working with Chris.”
