Reach out when life gets heavy
You don't have to face hard moments alone. Light in the Storm offers compassionate spiritual support right here in Sparta, Michigan. Care that meets you where you are.
Services offered
Each session is 60 minutes and offered on a free-will basis. The three most urgent services can be booked directly on the scheduling 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.
Mental-Health Guidance & Stabilization
Practical help understanding behavioral patterns, emotional struggles, and psychiatric challenges — with de-escalation and clear next steps, no jargon.
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.
Caregiver Support & Family Coaching
Help for overwhelmed caregivers of loved ones with dementia, Alzheimer's, head injuries, or chronic conditions — understanding what's normal and how to stay steady.
Child Environment Safety & Life Story Work
Guidance on child safety and emotional awareness for families and daycare providers — plus help making sense of your own life story, what shaped you, and how to move forward.
A quiet presence for faith and hard moments
We walk beside you with grounded faith and a listening ear, whatever you're carrying today.
A quiet presence makes a real difference
When I was at my lowest, having someone who would just listen, without rushing me or fixing me, was everything. It felt like a weight I'd carried alone finally got shared.

Sparta resident
I didn't know what to expect when I reached out. What I found was a calm, grounded presence who helped me find steady footing again. I'm grateful for that kindness.
Daniel R.
Sparta resident
In the middle of a hard season, having someone to sit with me and pray, without any judgment, brought a peace I hadn't felt in months. That presence meant more than words can say.
