Schedule with Pamela here.
The fact that human beings, regardless of their belief system, are created in the image of God has several implications. The first one is value. Everyone is valuable and has meaning because of who created them. The second implication is purpose. God makes no mistakes; he designed everything and every person with his purposes in mind. Everyone is created, sinful, and in need of redemption. Those facts are the foundation of my counseling. No person, marriage, or family is too far gone, and no issue is too difficult, painful, or sinful for God’s compassionate, kind, and merciful redemption. Nothing is impossible when we join the Lord in what he desires for our life.
I am originally from Kansas City, MO, but I currently reside in Colorado Springs. I have three children (21, 20, and 18). We recently received the blessing of a second son through my oldest daughter’s marriage. I have an MA in marriage and family therapy from Liberty University (VA). In addition, I am completing my Ph.D. dissertation in biblical counseling from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) in Louisville, KY. I am a professor at Lancaster Bible College (PA) in their MA in Christian care program, Colorado Christian University in their MA in professional counseling program, and I serve as an OTA at Boyce College in their biblical counseling program.
I have experience counseling individuals and adolescents who have experienced sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and same-sex attraction. I also have experience in marriage and family counseling.
I have counseled in a variety of settings. Under licensure in Oklahoma City, I counseled at an inpatient children’s center. I worked with teens who were sexually abused and who sexually abused others and their co-occurring disorders, such as suicidal ideations and attempts, depression, anxiety, conduct disorders, and RAD. I also worked in outpatient settings with teens and their families. I have provided pro-bono biblical counseling for churches in S. Korea, Oklahoma, and Colorado Springs. I have been a guest speaker at The Christian & Missionary Alliance Youth Next conferences, teaching how to counsel youth and understand and help teens and families dealing with sexual and gender struggles. I enjoy painting, walking trails, pickleball, and cornhole.
