Hi, I’m Tres. I am the director and founder of Prism Counseling & Coaching. I provide spiritually-integrated counseling and coaching for those facing personal, relational, spiritual, and professional challenges. With 14 years of experience, I work with adults and teens from a wide range of backgrounds, including those navigating questions of sexuality, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Whatever brings you to counseling, you’ll have a place to speak honestly, examine what matters most, and work toward greater strength and wholeness.

I know that everyone’s journey is unique. No two people have the same story, so our work will be shaped around your situation, goals, and values. Spirituality can be part of the process when desired, but it will never be forced. Whether faith is central to your life, something you’re wrestling with, or simply not a major part of how you see the world, we’ll focus on practical steps that help you gain clarity and strength to move forward.

My approach depends on the needs of the client, but I often integrate personality theory, emotional intelligence, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems, IFS therapy, sandtray therapy, and spiritual direction. Together, these perspectives help us understand the deeper forces shaping your reactions, relationships, beliefs, and sense of purpose. We’ll examine the patterns you’ve inherited, the parts of yourself that may be pulling in competing directions, and the spiritual or existential questions beneath what you’re facing. From there, we can work toward greater clarity, inner strength, and a life more fully aligned with your values and calling.

My faith has always been central to my calling. When I first felt called to the ministry, I assumed that meant becoming a pastor in a traditional church. But over time, I found the Spirit leading me in a different direction, toward pastoral counseling and walking alongside people through some of the most personal, painful, and meaningful parts of their lives. Looking back, I’ve come to see it not as a departure from ministry, but as the particular form my ministry was meant to take.

A little about me — I’m originally from Phoenix and married to the love of my life, who I’ve been with for over eight years. We share our home with a cat and bulldog. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me staying active physically and mentally. I’m passionate about weightlifting, fitness, reading, writing, and creative work. Inspired by Plato’s scholar-athlete ideal, I believe in training the body, mind, and soul with similar discipline.
​
As for my credentials and experience, I hold a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Wesley Biblical Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts from Asbury University. In addition to counseling and coaching, I serve as Director of Prism Counseling & Coaching. I am a Board Certified Pastoral Counselor (BCPC #0791) through the AACC International Board of Christian Care and a Certified Personal Trainer. I’m also Lead Developer of the Christian DISC® Assessment, a personality assessment tool used by professionals, churches, and organizations worldwide. I am an active member of ACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care & Education. Through ACPE, I train leaders in the Spiritual Care Specialist program, a national program I helped develop that equips caregivers to provide effective, ethical mental health support in their communities.

Wherever you are in your journey, I’d love to help you take the next step. Let’s connect.
