Jared lives in Winston-Salem, NC with his wife, Erin, of fourteen years, and their three children. He serves bivocationally as a pastor and therapist-in-training, drawing from years of ministry experience walking with individuals and families through seasons of growth, loss, and renewal.
Jared’s heart as a counselor is to help people discover redemptive meaning in their stories and experience healing in their relationships with God, self, and others. He integrates biblical truth and family systems theory, believing that lasting change unfolds through authentic relationships and grace-filled growth. Jared views the therapeutic alliance as a sacred space where the compassionate presence of the therapist reflects Christ’s incarnational love, offering safety, attunement, and hope as clients journey toward restoration.
