Pastoral Counseling
Pastoral counseling is a place to find gracious and loving listening and direction as you figure life out. Our pastoral counselor is ready and equipped to hold space for you, to ask questions, help uncover insight, and invite God into your processing.
To get started, fill out our informational form and schedule your (free) intro meeting. Sarah will meet you on the virtual call and help you decide if pastoral counseling is a good fit for what you need in this season.
If you have questions or want more information, email us at counseling@crosswindschurch.org.
Our Counselors
Sarah Holstra, MACM
As a Southern California native and former young adult pastor in LA, Sarah brought her passion for counseling to CrossWinds in 2019. Armed with a bachelor's degree in youth ministry and a master's in counseling ministry, she combines professional expertise with a natural gift for deep listening and meaningful conversation.
You'll rarely find Sarah without a book tucked in her purse, and when she's not counseling or reading, she's likely out running (albeit slowly) or laughing with friends over coffee. Her greatest joy comes from walking alongside others and illuminating the endless depths of God's grace in their lives.
In a beautiful twist of fate, CrossWinds became more than just Sarah's workplace when she met her husband, Zac, here in 2019. They celebrated their love with a COVID-era wedding in 2020 and now make their home in Livermore with their dog Charlie and two cats, Winston and Cece.
To learn more about pastoral counseling, please email us at counseling@crosswindschurch.
If you are experiencing a crisis and need medical help, please call 911 immediately. You may also want to reach out to the 24-hour Alameda County Crisis Line for free at 1-800-309-2131 and they can also assist you.
Premarital Counseling
It's an honor to get to sit with couples who are engaged or considering getting married, and this is what premarital counseling is for. We utilize the SYMBIS assessment (created by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, more info at symbis.com) and helpful materials to work together to prepare you for marriage!
To get started, simply fill out our premarital informational form here.
Then Sarah, our counselor, will get in touch with you to schedule your first meeting. If you have questions or want more information, you can also email us at counseling@crosswindschurch.org.
Cost: $85/session, payable online here.
