“It is a matter of presence. A sage does not have to be heard… There is room in his presence for who you are and where you are. There is understanding. He has no agenda, and nothing now to lose. What he offers, he offers with kindness, and discretion, knowing by instinct those who have ears to hear, and those who don’t. Thus his words are offered in the right measure, at the right time, to the right person. He will not trouble you with things you do not need to know, nor burden you with things that are not yet yours to bear, nor embarrass you with exposure for shortcomings you are not ready yet to overcome, even though he sees all of that. For he is wise, and compassionate.”

(John Eldredge, Fathered by God, p. 201)

LANCE's TESTIMONIALS

I've been counseling in the Raleigh area for 18 years now. I love helping those who feel afraid or stuck or frustrated with issues and themes that don't seem to easily heal or leave or end - because I've been there; I know the feeling. In my own Story, I've had to fight hard and search far and deep for answers for the healing I've needed...

I counsel every clinical issue/topic that folks seek counseling for in the DSM, including Personality Disorders and the list of Issues Commonly Addressed - except active Substance Addictions and Food-related concerns.

I also counsel non-clinical matters; examples include Career and Calling, Adolescent development, Masculine development, Self-concept and Existential angst. And many of my Counseling clients transition into a Spiritual Formation/Discipleship relationship with me after their counseling work is complete.

I am an avid walker/hiker (most enjoyable with my Wife), I am forever working on my tennis game, enjoy reading and watching documentaries, and to the question, "Beach or Mountain?", I respond, "Lake!" 😎

I look forward to hearing from you!

In my life throughout times of sorrow or suffering, as well as peace and joy, I have seen God working through my circumstances for my good and for His glory - so I love incorporating biblical truths, scripture, and prayer in counseling sessions. In addition, I also utilize information and insights from Christian books that I read, as well as incorporating counseling theories such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which emphasizes building a life based on your values.

I counsel adolescents and young adults who are experiencing (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or trouble adjusting to changes in life.

I am skilled in working with eating disorder and body image issues.

I also build rapport quickly with neurodivergent individuals (Autism/ADHD).

In my free time, I love sitting down with a book and a cup of coffee or being in the kitchen making something from scratch. I love to be active and in nature viewing what God created–I love going for hikes, kayaking, or going camping for the weekend.

The Bible provides us with examples of God redeeming His people for His glory, despite their shortcomings and failures. God has already authored our story and He has a plan to work through our circumstances for our good and for His glory

I look forward to hearing from you!

We all have expectations of how our life will go - so what do we do when life brings us pain and obstacles instead?

It wasn't until my darkest hour that I discovered how God chooses to work through interpersonal relationships to reveal His Grace, Love, and Hope in Christ. Having been a counseling client myself, I found the greatest comfort and progress comes from counseling experiences that are authentically demonstrating those characteristics. Whatever you are facing, I want to hear your story and work with you to find healing, renewed purpose, and establish tools to aid in building resilience for the inevitable difficulties you will encounter down the road of your life.

My areas of interest include (but are not limited to) Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression, Sexual/Pornography Addictions, Anger, and Spiritual Growth. 

I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC where I now live with my beautiful wife, son, and our fluffy Great Pyrenees. As a North Carolina native, I love visiting the beach and traveling to the mountains to hit the slopes in the winter. Sports, fitness, and reading just about any book I can get my hands on have always been passions of mine - and I love learning what other people are passionate about!

Reaching out for counseling can be intimidating; seeking help is such a courageous first step!

I look forward to talking with you soon!

After experiencing my own heartache and brokenness in life, I had nowhere to turn but to God - and He met me with comfort, love, and healing. It was during that season I felt God call me to Counseling as a profession. I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else! I truly LOVE what I do!

I feel most passionate about Marital and PreMarital Counseling; I enjoy working with Couples to strengthen and restore their relationship to find true joy and love in their marriage. Over the course of my own marriage I have learned that, although marriage is not easy, marriage and family are among God's greatest gifts and can be enjoyed to their fullest!

My passion for Marriages dictates my Continuing Education Credit choices to take courses like Making Up is Hard to Do - Couples Therapy After Infidelity and Attachment Styles and Trauma Treatment: Effective Strategies for Repair with Couples and directs my professional reading of books like Love and War, Created for Connection: The "Hold Me Tight" Guide for Christian Couples, Torn Asunder, The 5 Love Languages, Attachment Theory in Practice: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with Individuals, Couples, and Families; Love & Respect, Couple Therapy: A New Hope-focused Approach, Real Marriage, and You and Me Forever.

I also counsel individuals in areas such as (but not limited to) Depression, Anxiety,  Life-transitions, and Trauma. I consider God to be the ultimate counselor, and therefore, use a Christ-centered, Biblical approach in my work with clients. 

Jesus tells us that our lives will be filled with trouble, and His life was no exception. Even though life isn’t easy, we have hope in Jesus; He may not always remove our problems, but He will help us grow through the problems and grow closer to Him. My desire is to be as Christ - a clear voice of reason, hope, love, and wisdom. Jesus said, “I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Even in the midst of our brokenness there is the promise that the Lord will not abandon us; we know He will walk with us through our suffering. I try to walk beside my Clients just as the Lord does, praying that my clients can feel God’s love shine through me and come to see themselves through the eyes of the Lord!

As serious struggles and challenges of life come our way, it is not uncommon to get stuck in unproductive cycles, unpleasant emotions, or crippling hardships. As a Christian counselor, I recognize these debilitating states and will work to strengthen you, to see things you may not see, to have you try things you may not have tried, and to encourage you in times requiring long-suffering…

I am a Colorado native who moved to the beautiful state of North Carolina in 2018. In my free time I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, and trying new food with my husband. I also enjoy being outside and taking walks – time that allows me to reflect, pray, and draw closer to God.

I look forward to hearing from you!
