At Forge & Path, my work is grounded, story-centered, and personal. Healing happens best when your story is honored, not rushed. Whether you’re carrying pain from the past, pressure from high expectations, spiritual questions, or simply a sense that something deeper needs attention... you don’t have to do it alone.

Client Readiness Checklist

Is now the right time to begin?

This isn’t surface-level support. It’s sacred ground; a space to bring your story into the light. Not just to talk through problems, but to begin the slow, meaningful process of healing, clarity, and change.

You don’t have to have it all together. But you do need to be willing.

You might be ready for this work if:

  • You’ve been carrying pressure, pain, or responsibility for a long time — and you know it’s time to share the weight

  • You feel the weight of your story, even if you’ve never named it out loud

  • You’re tired of managing symptoms and ready to get to the root of things

  • You’re willing to look at what shaped you, not to blame, but to understand

  • You’re open to the possibility that God may still be speaking, even through your pain

  • You want more than religious language. You want grace that shows up and stays

  • You’re drawn to the kind of work that’s hard, honest, and deeply human

  • You’re not sure what comes next, but you know you don’t want to stay stuck

This isn’t easy work.
But it’s sacred ground.
If something in you is stirring… it might be time.

Common Concerns I Help With

  • The longing to leave a meaningful legacy with your life

  • Questions of faith, doubt, and your relationship with God

  • Wounds from rigid or unhealthy religious environments

  • Wounds and patterns rooted in your early story

  • Carrying too much responsibility and feeling like everything depends on you

  • The quiet weight carried by pastors, counselors, and helpers

  • Depression, heaviness, and loss of hope

  • Anxiety, pressure, and chronic stress

  • Disconnection and conflict in relationships

  • Helping teens navigate identity, motivation, and direction

  • Shame, self-doubt, and cycles of hiding or numbing

  • A search for identity, purpose, and deeper meaning

those in full-time ministry and for senior adults with limited income. If you’re in a difficult

during your consultation. These slots are limited and offered at my discretion.

Optional Tools and Tracks

Every story is different. Some men feel steadier with a structured path; others need room to speak freely and sort through the weight they carry. Both are welcome here.

At Forge & Path, I incorporate flexible resources designed to support work around the following issues in particular:
• Legacy & Aging
• Fatherhood
• Pastors & Helpers
• Teens & Identity

These aren’t rigid programs, just emerging tools for the journey, offered when and if they’re helpful.


You bring your story. I’ll walk the path with you.
