I had offered lay counselor services for ten-plus years. I received my professional license in June of 2016, and I am enjoying the joy and privilege of helping those desiring to work on the person that God intended when He created them.
I hold a MA in Christian Counseling as a Certified Temperament Counselor with certificates in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Ethics.
I received my degree through Pillsbury/Scarborough College and Seminary, located in Bridgton, Mo. Licensing is through the National Association of Christian Counselors, NCCA, located in Sarasota, Florida. My Pastoral License is through the National Conservative Christian Church, NCCC. I'm also a member of The American Association of Christian Counselors AACC.
My desire to help others struggling with life issues stems from my own long and victorious journey.
The soul is made up of the Mind, Will, and Emotion, and when we are abused, it affects all the areas of the soul. From these abuses, we learn self-protective behaviors and abusive ways, both to self and others. As a Temperament Therapist, I will administer a simple 54-question test that will help me as your counselor as well as you, the counselee, to better understand how God designed you. You will learn about both strengths and weaknesses, how past abuse has affected how you live your life today, and how to work through those painful areas to become who God designed you to be. This can be a painful journey but well worth the work.
While our soul is Mind, Will, and Emotion, we are made up of Body, Soul, and Spirit, and must remember that each part affects the other. I do talk about this in our sessions, and we will collectively look at how you are caring for all three.
