HER MISSION IS…
…Healing Hearts Through the Power of Jesus Christ. As a Christian practitioner, I believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only way to salvation and it is by His death on the cross that grants us eternal life. I believe that only through a personal and adult decision to invite Jesus into our lives as leader, Lord and Savior can we enter heaven. I believe that it is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His Father that we receive the strength, wisdom, and power from the Holy Spirit to heal and grow in our lives.
As a Christian I value life as a gift and uphold the individual, family, and marriage as sacred. I believe build lasting commitments and are devoted to each other based on the principles of Scripture and the Commandments of God as stated in the Bible. I believe there are biblically supported reasons for divorce and can help an individual carefully discern their decision to stay in the marriage, separate or divorce.
In my practice, I realize that every person has their own experience with “religion” and spiritual practices and I do not discriminate based on our theology. I counsel and treat those who are not practicing in a faith and welcome the opportunity to serve them. Only if a client asks, I will incorporate faith, scripture and prayer in the counseling session. I respect our clients’ individual religious practices as well as those clients who prefer a secular counseling experience.
