Philosophy of Christian Coaching and Counseling

​

        “I believe that once we have asked the Lord to come into our lives, He desires to be at the core of everything              we do.  Jesus desires to meet us in spaces of tremendous pain and hurt and to heal us from wounds we’ve                  been carrying around, some of us for decades.  I see my role in Christian counseling as a helping agent to                  point back to Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the assistance of modern modalities of therapy.”
