“Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.”
~Jung
Do you feel far from God? Does life feel meaningless? Are you grieving a loss so great that you wonder if He has turned His face away from you? Are you struggling in relationships, battling anxiety or depression, or feeling stuck in patterns of addiction, lying, or gossip? Do you feel lost and alone in a world full of people?
If you’re searching for Christian counseling in Vancouver, WA, a Christian counselor who truly integrates faith and clinical expertise, or the best Christian counselor for deep heart-healing, you’re in the right place. You may have tried Christian counseling only to feel like you had therapy with someone who happened to identify as Christian, but the sessions still felt secular. Or you’ve been in secular therapy that never quite reached the spiritual roots of your pain.
I offer something different: biblically grounded, trauma-informed Christian counseling in Vancouver (or telehealth anywhere in Washington state) that combines 15 years of licensed secular therapy experience with certified Biblical counseling through the American Board of Biblical Counselors (ABA).
Whether you need:
- Christian anxiety counseling
- Christian depression counseling
- Christian grief counseling (especially suicide bereavement and traumatic loss)
- Christian marriage counseling, faith-based counseling for couples, or pre-marital Christian counseling
- Christian counseling for teens
- Christian counseling for addiction (including non-judgmental pornography addiction)
- Trauma-informed Christian counseling for survivors of rape, sex trafficking, or other soul-crushing events
…I provide a safe, loving, yet challenging space where Jesus is the center of the healing process. Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-14)
Deep, lasting healing comes from the Lord—and sometimes He uses a Christian counselor to guide you back to that living water. I offer both in-person Christian counseling in Vancouver, WA and online Christian counseling anywhere in Washington state so you can get help from wherever you are. Many of my clients are referred by local doctors, psychiatrists, pastors, and former clients who finally experienced breakthrough after years of “okay but not life-changing” therapy. They were looking for integrative Christian counseling that produces lasting peace—practical tools for today and eternal hope for tomorrow. If you’re ready for real change and have been searching for:
- Vancouver Christian counseling services that honor both Scripture and clinical excellence
- Biblical counseling near Vancouver that addresses the deepest wounds
…reach out today. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You don’t have to stay stuck. Healing is possible—with both the power of Jesus and the tools of a skilled therapist.
Blessings,

Individual Counseling
If you’re struggling with anxiety or depression, relationship issues, or you’re simply feeling run down by the complexities of life, I can help you. My therapeutic approach is very compassionate but direct. Therapy with me can feel intense but my clients often tell me that they needed the push I give them. You have the power to change your life; I can help you make that happen.
GRIEF COUNSELING
Regardless of the source of your grief, whether it stems from the loss of a loved one to suicide, childhood abuse or neglect, job loss, divorce, or some other trauma, I can help you. You are not alone.
Relationship Counseling
I love working with couples and can help you with relationship issues including conflict resolution, sexuality, reconciliation, separation, divorce, and mediation. My success rate with couples is very high. Many of the couples I’ve worked with have come to see me out of last-ditch desperation. Most of them have gone to couple’s therapy in the past and their relationships didn’t improve.
WORKING WITH RONDA
My approach to counseling is unlike most other counselors’ approach to therapy. This is partially based on personality differences between professionals, and it is partially based on differences in philosophy. Most of the therapists I’ve known are wonderful, empathetic clinicians who want the best for their clients and they believe that if they are present with their clients and they provide a safe place for their clients to explore their feelings, healing will occur naturally.While I respect this belief system, I do not subscribe to it. You will likely find me to be very different than any other therapist you’ve ever met. I am more direct, challenging, and transparent than most clinicians. I am loving and empathetic, but I’m relentless in my determination to help my clients pursue joyful lives. While I maintain professional boundaries, I am open and willing to share information about myself in situations where I believe that information will help you. If you’ve been in counseling before and it didn’t help, I may be the kind of therapist you need.
My goal is to help you move in the direction of increased peace and happiness in your daily life. I believe that we are happiest and healthiest when we are compassionately truthful with ourselves and with the people in our lives.
Are you ready to stop suffering and start living? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
My home office is in Vancouver Washington, conveniently located five minutes from the I-5 bridge. Whether we work together in person or through distance counseling, you’ll find me to be down to earth, respectful, honest, and challenging. While I am compassionate and sensitive to emotion, it is my firm belief that the road to happiness is paved with hard work, dedication to rational thought, acknowledgment of our strengths and weaknesses and a determination to endure short term pain as the price for long-term peace and joy.
