Pastors Need Care Too

As a pastor for over 20 years, what initially drew me to story work was my recognition that I needed a place to be seen and cared for, just as those I pastored needed me to see and care for them. The responsibilities of ministry can be isolating at best, and crushing all too often.

​

I have a fierce devotion to offering care for pastors, and my background as both a pastor and narrative trauma practitioner gives me a unique ability to create a safe space for pastors to process both current struggles and past stories of heartache.  

​

I encourage pastors interested in pursuing story coaching with me to ask their church to cover the cost of this care as a means of investing in their well being and their spiritual and emotional health.

 

Below, I provide a letter that you can share with your church's leadership team explaining the benefits of coaching for you and your church and my background and credentials. In my years of coaching, I have seen that if pastors are willing to ask, churches are willing to meet this need.
