Hi, my name is Tres. I am a pastoral counselor who provides support for those dealing with various emotional and relational issues. I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with care and compassion, whether you’re looking to improve your emotional, relational, spiritual, or physical health — or all of the above. I specialize in working with adults, teens, couples, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore what matters most to you.
I know that everyone’s journey is unique, and I strive to meet you where you are. Whether you’re looking to integrate faith into your care, are spiritual but not religious, or don't identify as a person of faith at all, we’ll focus on practical steps for healing. My goal is to help you feel heard, valued, and empowered as we work together to create meaningful change in your life. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I’m comfortable addressing tough topics like grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, or questions about faith and identity. If you’ve experienced religious trauma or are working to reconcile your faith with your past, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that path. As an interfaith pastoral counselor, I bring a deep understanding of various traditions and denominations, offering unique insights for those seeking to integrate their spiritual beliefs into counseling. I draw on tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and spiritual direction when desired, tailoring the process to your goals and values. A little about me — I’m originally from Phoenix and married to the love of my life, who I’ve been with for over seven years. We share our home with a cat and English bulldog. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me staying active both physically and mentally. I’m passionate about weightlifting, rucking, and playing sports, pushing myself to build strength and endurance. At the same time, I challenge my mind through reading, writing, and creative work. Inspired by Plato’s scholar-athlete ideal, I believe in the balance of physical and intellectual growth — training both the body and mind with the similar discipline. As for my credentials, I hold a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Wesley Biblical Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts from Asbury University. I am a Board Certified Pastoral Counselor (BCPC #0791), certified by the AACC International Board of Christian Care. I'm also a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), helping clients build healthy habits for overall well-being. I'm an active member of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE), where I train leaders through the Spiritual Care Specialist program — a training program I helped pilot that equip caregivers in providing effective and ethical mental health support. Additionally, I am ordained through the Federation of Christian Ministries. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d love to help you take the next step. Let’s connect! Office LocationsI can meet with clients online via telehealth or in-person at my office in Peoria (9299 W Olive Ave Ste 212 Peoria AZ 85345) or Phoenix (7901 N Central Ave Phoenix AZ 85020)
