About Good News Encounters

Life brings seasons of confusion, conflict, and pain—moments when our stories feel stuck or out of alignment. At Good News Encounters, we believe God meets us in those very places and speaks directly into our everyday struggles.

Our work helps individuals, couples, and families engage both the spiritual and psychological dimensions of growth. We offer faith-based counseling and coaching in Greenwood, Indiana, the surrounding area, and beyond—both in person and online. Our approach is both faith-based and deeply practical.

At Good News Encounters, we bring the psychological and theological truths inherent in the Good News into conversation with the real experiences of everyday life. As Scripture illuminates the patterns of our thinking, desiring, choosing, and relating, people begin to recognize the stories they have been living, re-author them in light of God's larger story, and experience healing, freedom, and lasting transformation.
