Throughout our lives we are confronted with disappointments, challenges, and obstacles that may derail us. Unexpected
life
events are common and although people have an amazing capacity to resolve problems, sometimes we get stuck. When we get stuck we need collaboration or assistance to find solutions, gain control, and develop coping skills in order to return to a place where we can flourish. With this in mind, I use the vehicles of ministry,
coaching
, and counseling to assist individuals in reaching the abundant
life
that is available through Christ.

Shelia McKay
Pastoral Counselor, MA
My clients can expect to understand why they do what they do and develop strategies to overcome
life
challenges.
As a temperament counselor, I teach people their inborn nature. What are your natural strengths and weaknesses? Once a client understands their temperament traits we can develop a working plan to get their needs met through identifying positive
life
choices and minimizing those choices that have lead to more destructive outcomes.

life
and felt as though you you were traveling without direction? Almost as though driving the SUV of

Perhaps you have found yourself down the dark tunnel of addiction searching for the way out and feel as though you have made every wrong turn but still have hope. Everyone needs someone to gracefully lead during the messiest times of our lives. It's during this time we regain control of the wheel, determine our destination and set our cruise control to adjust with changes without losing momentum. We move from surviving into thriving!

I have a passion for helping clients create a
life
that they are excited to wake up to and not escape from.
Yes, I am taking on new clients! Grief, low self-esteem and shame are a part of addiction. Living in addiction, loving someone in addiction or grieving the loss of someone you loved to addiction is exhausting. What could have done to prevent it? What do you do now? How do you take care of yourself and begin to heal when addiction has taken everything and left you with nothing. I have a passion for helping individuals/families create strategies to overcome barriers that keep them stuck in unhealthy thought patterns and choices. I have a heart for providing a safe space to grieve and to begin to explore
life
on the other side.

What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
