Christian Counseling That Leads to Lasting Peace

Dr. Vinnie

I’m a Christian counselor—compassionate, experienced, and guided by God. I know the weight of grief, trauma, and emotional distress because I’ve walked through it myself. With nearly three decades of experience, I’ve helped thousands of people find peace, clarity, and healing through Christ. That’s why I offer retreat-style intensives: to help you unpack what’s been weighing you down and step into the peace God has for you.

Through our Perfect Peace framework, I walk with clients from breakthrough moments to lasting transformation. With God at the center, and practical tools in hand, you’ll find clarity, hope, and peace that endures beyond the session.

Hi, I’m Dr. Vinnie
