Working with Pastors, Congregations, and Judicatories
Pastoral Counseling is an extension of your ministry: a resource for you and your congregation.
As an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ for over 40 years, and experience as a parish minister, hospital chaplain, educator, and pastoral counselor, I work from an understanding of the needs and meaning of ministry.
Lancaster Pastoral Counseling ministers with you, to support your ministry, and the life of your congregation.
I offer a collegial relationship providing:
Congregational Leadership:
- Consultation in counseling and leadership development
- A trusted place to refer members of your congregation that will affirm and include their faith and values in their counseling.
- A place to learn and A resource for your work, your life and your ministry.
Workshops and Supervision

These range from whole day offering, to morning classes.
