Black River Ministry Approach
At Black River, my primary focus is virtual biblical counseling for women, teen girls, and girls throughout the United States.
Biblical counseling is a ministry of discipleship that brings the truth and hope of God’s Word to the struggles of life. It is grounded in the authority, sufficiency, and relevance of Scripture.
Together, we seek to understand life’s circumstances and our responses through God’s Word, consider matters of sin and suffering, and learn to respond with faith, repentance, obedience, and hope as we grow in Christlikeness.
My approach is compassionate, relational, and Scripture-centered. Counseling may address the heart, relationships, decisions, and everyday challenges of life while consistently pointing to Christ, the hope of the gospel, and the transforming work of God’s Word.
Beyond Biblical Counseling
Black River also provides virtual breastfeeding and lactation support, nursing consultation, and Black River Ranch experiences. Each service is distinct, with its own purpose and scope, while sharing a common desire to provide thoughtful, compassionate care and practical support.

Supporting the Ministry
Black River provides biblical counseling as a ministry of discipleship, alongside nursing, lactation, and family support services.
Biblical counseling is offered at no charge during ACBC Phase 3 training, with voluntary love gifts gratefully accepted.
Voluntary Love Gifts
Love gifts are completely voluntary and are never required to receive biblical counseling.
Choosing not to give does not affect the availability or nature of counseling.
Biblical counseling is offered as a ministry of discipleship and is not provided on a fee-for-service basis.
Nursing, lactation, Ranch, and other services are separate services and may have associated fees.
Love gifts are business support gifts, not charitable donations, and are not tax-deductible.
How Your Support Helps
Voluntary support may help make it possible to continue providing:
Biblical counseling and discipleship resources
Scripture-based educational materials
Support for those who may have limited financial resources
Ongoing biblical counseling education and training
Resources that encourage growth in Christ and application of God's Word
A Commitment to Integrity
I desire to handle all support with integrity, transparency, and good stewardship.
Love gifts never determine whether someone receives biblical counseling, and the amount given does not affect the nature or quality of counseling received.
If you have questions about voluntary support, please feel welcome to ask.
Thank You
Thank you for helping support the continued availability of biblical counseling at no charge during ACBC Phase 3 training and the opportunity to come alongside women, teen girls, and girls with God's Word, prayer, encouragement, and hope in Christ.
Voluntary love gifts may be given through the available payment options.
Black River is a for-profit business. Voluntary love gifts are not charitable contributions and are not tax-deductible.
