Why We Started
Counseling
Every great journey starts with a single step.
I have always loved to help people. As a little girl I began with my medical kit and my mom's stethoscope; well on the way to save stuffed animals, family pets, and dolls. I would eventually grow into a dedicated, compassion driven nurse, pastor, and military chaplain. All different roles with one unifying mission to help people take their next right step in a new life of purpose, power, and passion.
Our Story
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil” Psalm 23. Life has been an incredible journey of mountains and valleys for us. We did not have a plan that led us here via a straight line. We have been surprised by the goodness of God and we have been forced to hope in what is not yet seen. Kevin has been in ministry for the last 25 years. He has planted churches, worked with the persecuted church, counseled couples and coached people of every walk and road. His heart is to see people right where they are at and to help them discover who God meant them to be. Rebekah is bi vocational working both as a nurse for the last 20 years primarily at Mayo Clinic and serving with the United States Navy as a Chaplain. She has her masters as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Her heart is to help people realize holistic health and to find joy in the journey. Through all the twists and turns we have found God to be faithful. Our passion is to help you find God faithful in your own journey and to discover health via therapy, coaching and/or medication management. We have a Christian foundation that guides our work, but we are open and welcoming to every walk of life recognizing and respecting all people for who they are and what their own story is. Our ethos is to serve. We want you to find your own power, potential, and purpose.

Coaching with Kevin
Coaching
When I started further training for coaching I found I had been doing it for 20 years but didn’t know its name. Weather it was helping to develop leaders of leaders in Ukraine, or multiplying leaders through various modalities the thing I loved had a name --coaching. I get fired up helping people gain clarity and refine purpose to ignite motivation. We often don’t realize what saps our motivation, so we don’t realize its absent until things get really bad. But why wait for the problem when a life of purpose and passion can be yours. The other area I coach around is grief. Let’s figure out if we can partner on our journey.
