About Us
A faith-focused approach to mental health
At Shepherd’s Way L.L.C., we strive to create a nurturing environment where students feel seen, supported, and encouraged to walk in their God-given identity. Through collaboration with families, educators, and communities, we seek to empower each student to thrive—academically, emotionally, and spiritually—so they may fulfill the calling God has placed on their lives.
Isaiah 41:10 “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
Theories and Approach
01
Faith-Focused
My counseling philosophy is built on the belief that education is most powerful when it nurtures the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I believe that mental wellness must have a firm foundation in truth and be life giving through the word of God.
02
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
I believe that thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and changing unhelpful thoughts can change behavior. Through thought reframing and coping strategies, students can be better equipped to navigate challenges throughout life.
03
Narrative Therapy
At our core, we believe in redemption and the ability of others to overcome their tribulations through the power of Christ.

Mental Health Counseling
I believe healing happens best when we are seen, heard, and supported as whole people—mind, body, and spirit. As a Christian mental health counselor, my work is grounded in both evidence-based counseling practices and the truth, hope, and compassion found in Christ.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will my child need?
While we are always mindful of your time and strive to be as efficient as possible, we also honor the fact that counseling is a personalized journey shaped by each child’s unique needs. Initial sessions focus on building trust, safety, and connection, creating a strong foundation for deeper therapeutic work in future sessions.
What forms of payment are accepted?
Payments are made prior to attending each session. Homeschool families can use their EFA funds through the ClassWallet app to pay for Services. Traditional forms of payment such as cash and check are also accepted.
Do you offer virtual counseling for clients that can't attend in-person?
Because counseling involves building meaningful relationships and addressing sensitive, personal matters, we strongly recommend in-person sessions whenever possible. Face-to-face counseling allows for deeper connection and more effective therapeutic engagement. Virtual sessions are available on an as-needed basis for individuals who reside outside the reasonable commuting distance of our office.
