You are a unique, deeply loved child of God. That's the truth. The problem is, that as soon as you were born, sin--first others' and then your own--began to cloud your identity. I see counseling as clearing away those sin clouds to uncover your true self. And, as you seek to repair yourself and your broken relationships, I would love to help you apply Christ's principles of prayer, repentance, forgiveness, holy purpose, & sacrificial love to your way of living so that you might bring greater peace and happiness to yourself and those around you. For more info, check out my book "99 Soul Stretches..." to be found on Amazon Kindle.
With over 35 years experience in face-to-face counseling, over 55 years struggling to follow Christ, and over70 years of walking here on earth, I've had a long journey, and would love to meet you, get to know you, discover where you are on your own life journey, and help you in any way I can along your path.
Feel free to call me with any questions you have. Share with me what you see as your current emotional and spiritual needs and we can see if I'm the right person to come alongside you at this stage in your life.
