PASTORAL COUNSELING
Work With Dr. Carter
Biblical wisdom meets clinical insight for life’s hardest seasons.
MY APPROACH
Clarity, Direction, and Truth
Some counselors give you a safe space to process your feelings. I give you that – and more. I believe you deserve clarity about what is actually happening, direction for what to do next, and truth that can set you free.
My approach integrates 30 years of pastoral experience with clinical training – over 2,000 supervised hours working with people facing real crises. I bring Scripture and sound counsel together because lasting change requires both.
Here is how I see our work together: I provide clarity and direction. You provide willingness and willpower. And God provides what neither of us can accomplish alone.

WHO I WORK WITH
Is This Right For You?
Life Transitions
Career crossroads, empty nest, retirement, relocation – major life changes that leave you questioning what comes next.
Marriage and Family
Communication breakdown, parenting challenges, rebuilding trust, or simply wanting to build a stronger foundation.
Grief and Loss
Death of a loved one, broken relationships, shattered dreams – walking through loss with faith and hope.
Difficult Decisions
Facing a choice that feels impossible? Sometimes you need a wise voice to help you think clearly and biblically.
Faith Questions
Wrestling with doubt, spiritual dryness, or questions about what you really believe – and why it matters.
Personal Growth
You are not in crisis – you just want to grow. Intentional development in character, leadership, and spiritual maturity.
