A calm voice when your world tilts
Light in the Storm offers compassionate spiritual care in Sparta, Michigan — helping you find steadiness through Scripture, prayer, narrative listening, and honest conversation.
Walk with me
Every session is 60 minutes and offered on a free-will basis — in person, by phone, or privately online. Below are the ways I come alongside people in fragile places. If you are a survivor of trafficking or coercive control, please visit my Survivor Care page.
Spiritual Care & Chaplaincy
Simple, grounded Christian presence. I sit with you in fear, grief, confusion, or transition and help you find steadiness through Scripture, prayer, and honest conversation — not lectures, but presence.
Biblical Counseling
Counseling rooted in Scripture and narrative listening. We trace the threads of your story, understand the patterns shaping it, and find clarity through biblical truth.
Crisis & Trauma Support
Calm, trauma-informed support in overwhelming moments. Decades in locked units, head-injury rehab, dementia wings, and hospice rooms give me steadiness under pressure.
End-of-Life & Hospice Presence
Quiet, steady, compassionate company for patients and families during the hardest transitions — through prayer, Scripture, and listening.
Emotional Support & Steadying
Faith-grounded help making sense of emotional struggles and behavioral patterns, with calm de-escalation and clear next steps. When clinical care is needed, I'll help you find a licensed professional.
Conflict De-Escalation & Relational Mediation
From police work, counseling, and decades of crisis response, I help bring calm to tense conversations and emotionally charged situations.
Special Needs, Caregiver & Family Support
Patient, judgment-free care for people with tics, autism, ADHD, or developmental and physical disabilities, and for caregivers of loved ones with dementia, Alzheimer’s, head injuries, or chronic conditions. No one has to apologize for who they are.
Child Environment Safety & Daycare Support
Guidance on child safety, emotional awareness, and practical structure for families and daycare providers.
A calm hour built around you
Each session is unhurried space in Sparta, Michigan, where you set the pace. What you receive is consistent: my full, quiet attention.
A listening ear
Some moments need more presence than advice. Expect time to speak, pause, or sit in silence without any rush.
Life story & identity work
Make sense of your life story — where you've been, what shaped you, and how to move forward with clarity. This blends counseling, pastoral care, and narrative work.
A calm, unhurried presence
What I offer above all is a steady presence — the unhurried room to be heard, to pray, and to find the next step forward, one honest conversation at a time.
What to expect with Light in the Storm
If a question is on your heart, I'm glad to answer it.
