It's impossible to feel loved if you don't feel understood.
 
Get to know us
 

We have spent over two decades researching and learning about proven methods that keep marriages together and enable individuals to recognize their strengths.  Our passion is to help restore and heal broken lives and marriages. We're not just fans of marriage, we are workers for keeping marriages together.  This is our mission.

 

When we found the Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach we knew it fit our Christian view of respect for others and the belief that no person or marriage is beyond hope. We are skilled in using this model and, as members of the Solution Focused University, we are continually involved in the most recent developments.  

 

We are also Advanced Facilitators through the American Bible Society Trauma Institute which is successfully used in over 94 countries around the world to help victims who suffer from trauma. We work with small groups to heal wounds.  Our trauma class is not long-term trauma counseling for PTSD.  Rather, it is a 5 session process that can provide concrete ways for the traumatized and broken-hearted to begin healing. These sessions are often used by churches, small groups, prison and jail programs, or other help agencies.

 

People who have experienced infidelity/betrayal in their marriage suffer from trauma.  We will help you navigate through the turmoil of feelings and emotions to "get to the other side". 

 

You will find that we are nonjudgmental about where you've been. We see each hurting person as one who can find healing through our counseling, coaching, conversations together, and most importantly, in Jesus Christ. 

 

With our backgrounds in psychology, education, pastoral care, coaching, counseling, prison ministry, and over 48 years of marriage, we have the life experience, expertise, and heart to help you into the light of renewed joy in your life and/or your marriage.

We would highly recommend Dan and Becky to anyone, no matter if a marriage is great or struggling. Their program can really help improve your relationship. Their caring, personal yet non-threatening approach allows you to really dive in and make some positive changes! RS


Dan and Becky have been a huge part of our lives and our continuous urge to better our marriage and ourselves individually. They are great people, very understanding and easy to open up to. After using their service you will see that this isn't just a job to them, their hearts are also involved. I recommend anyone struggling through life and marriage to use the tools they have to offer for a stronger understanding of lives ups and downs. JH

        DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PASTORAL COUNSELORS AND PROFESSIONAL CLINICAL COUNSELORS

 

It's easy to be confused, but the differences between a licensed professional counselor and a pastoral Christian counselor are rarely apparent to a client. A pastoral counselor, such as a chaplain, pastor, church counselor, and ministerial counselor is often regulated and credentialed by an ecclesiastical group and/or professional association. Clinical Counselors are regulated and licensed by state government boards, and often certified or credentialed by professional organizations.

 

Unlike professionals working in the fields of clinical counseling or psychology, Pastoral Counselors are not required to obtain a state license.  In place of a license, pastoral counselors must complete a certification process (sometimes referred to as a credentialing process) by the ecclesiastical group with which they are associated. 

 

Pastoral Counselors often have extensive education, experience and training in the areas of counseling, therapy, and psychology. Dan and Becky constantly strive to increase their skills to enable them to help heal hurting individuals and wounded marriages.
