My story
I am passionate about helping conscientious Christians learn to live in God's peace while fulfilling His eternal plan. I know what it is like having spent much of my life feeling anxious and overwhelmed, trying to do everything right...
Over the years, through various attempts at learning and growing, I've greatly increased my ability to handle stressful situations and focus on what truly matters while maintaining a greater sense of harmony. It hasn't been an easy or simple journey, but this real-world experience equips me to assist others in living a fulfilling life without overwhelm, anxiety, or depression. I have discovered that aligning with God's design for our mind, body, and spirit is the foundation for a more peaceful, confident, and meaningful life.
While I still face times when life feels overwhelming—managing church leadership, husband, employee, supervisor, business, and father/grandfather roles—I rarely get stuck in anxiety, overwhelm, or hopeless depression. When I do, I now know how to overcome it more quickly and get moving forward again.
Ending the overwhelm that keeps us from living up to our God designed potential has become a top priority for me. I've personally experienced and witnessed how God can work through us when we peacefully trust in His work within us.
Do I have it all figured out? Not at all, but I've traveled a great distance on my path, and I believe that what I've learned along the way can be very useful to others.
In addition to my personal experience, I hold a master's degree in social work and have over 15 years of experience helping others overcome anxiety, trauma, depression, and overwhelm as a coach and mental health provider.

Speaking at your event or church
Overwhelm is a common challenge for many Christians. If you’re looking for someone to bring hope for peaceful confidence to your event or church, I would be delighted to assist...
Most attendees find my presentations enjoyable, engaging, and genuinely useful. I use a mix of audience participation, humor, and a bit of quirky goofiness (it's just who I am :) ) to keep everyone interested and engaged.
I am an experienced speaker, regularly presenting sermons and teachings at my church and others. I also frequently conduct staff trainings for my job.
I can cover ways to significantly improve overwhelm, anxiety, or depression by emphasizing that learning and cooperating with God's design is the best path to lasting success. My presentations often include Biblical examples, scientific references, personal experiences, and former client successes/challenges.

Overwhelmed by lost granddaughter...
The emotional pain was above 10/10 for 12 years, I could not even think about her death without breaking into tears. The guilt that I was carrying, was huge for me.
You were caring, and kind. You honed into the problem so quickly. Even before we finished the first round, I began to feel different, the tears stopped. I felt like I could smile when I thought of her.
Even now only a couple of hours later, when I think of her, I can smile. I thought when I go home tonight, I may bring her picture out of the drawer. I am going put it on my dresser with all my other grand kids and enjoy it. Something I haven’t been able to do before now.
All I can say is Wow, what an amazing experience you shared with me,
thank you,

Overwhelmed by past trauma...
I contacted Steven because I couldn't seem to get free from my anxiety. I found myself, a mom of three, approaching 40 years old, watching my health decline because of the ongoing fear I lived with everyday. I was unintentionally hurting my relationships with my husband and kids. Steven was a last resort for me. I had prayed so much about this issue and had gotten counseling for years, but nothing seemed to lighten the intensity of how I felt whenever something reminded me of the past trauma.
Steven was so easy to talk to - I didn't feel any judgment from him. He was able to ask questions to get to the real issue. It took courage to open up about my most vulnerable issue, but he met me with incredible compassion and God's grace.
Since the sessions, I've been amazed to have situations come up that used to fill me with fear and send me into a downward spiral, now pass by without any drama. It feels like trying to light a fire cracker that's already gone off, there's just no power behind it any more. I'm so thankful to be free and living in peace now.

Overwhelmed by anxiety...
I contacted Steven because my anxiety was out of control. Years of bullying at school and then in the workplace, feeling isolated and alone, two relationship breakups and heavy drinking caused me to have a complete nervous breakdown . I was having sleepless nights, panic attacks, depression - the whole package. I ended up having to leave my job and realized physically and mentally I was totally unable to work.
The first thing I liked about Steven and what led me to contact him was the fact he was a Christian. I am a strong Christian but with all that was going on I was struggling to live my beliefs...
After working with Steven for some months I have improved dramatically. He has helped me with the best way to get back to work, helped strengthen my faith in God, and rewrite the memories of years of emotional trauma so they no longer cause me stress, anxiety or depression.
I now use the techniques he has taught me every day, as an essential part of my recovery process in view of living the life God has planned for me, Stress Free!”
