Your Story Feels Broken.
Your Story Needs Understood.
Life feels overwhelming when you can't see how your struggles fit into something bigger.
Feeling Stuck or Lost
You know something needs to change, but you can't figure out what or how. The same patterns keep repeating, and you're tired of feeling stuck.
Past Wounds Still Hurt
Trauma, disappointment, or painful experiences from your past continue to impact your relationships, work, and daily life.
Disconnected from Purpose
You want to understand how your story fits into God's plan, but it's hard to see the bigger picture when you're in the middle of it.
Hi, I'm Roddy. Like many of the people I work with, my journey hasn't been easy. I battled dyslexia to pursue my dream of becoming a counselor, worked maintenance to afford my education, and learned that our struggles often become our strengths.
I've also navigated the deep wounds of childhood trauma and spent years learning to see past the lies I believed about myself. That journey of healing has given me profound empathy for others walking similar paths and a deep understanding of how God can redeem even our most painful experiences.
I get it.
I have been there too.
"I believe that people long to be seen and fully known. Your story matters, and when we can understand how it fits into God's greater story, healing happens. I know this not just professionally, but personally."
My Approach
Having walked through my own healing journey from childhood trauma and learned to replace lies with truth, I use story work and trauma-informed counseling, combined with biblical wisdom, to help you connect your personal journey to God's redemptive plan for your life. With seven years of pastoral experience, I am unapologetically biblical in my approach.

Start with your story
We begin by exploring your experiences, challenges, and the narrative that has shaped you. No judgment, just understanding.
2
Connect to God's story
Using biblical wisdom and trauma-informed approaches, we discover how your experiences fit into God's redemptive narrative.

Find healing and purpose
As you see the bigger picture, healing happens and you discover your unique role in God's ongoing story of redemption.

But Without Understanding Your Story...
-
You'll continue feeling stuck in the same patterns
-
Past hurts will keep affecting your present relationships
-
You'll struggle to see purpose in your struggles
-
Life will feel disconnected from any greater meaning
-
You'll miss out on what God wants to do with your story
-
Years could pass without real breakthrough or growth
