psalm 32:8
Why Biblical counseling and Coaching?
I believe that overcoming the struggles of life can only be achieved through utilizing the Word of God. God has given us instructions through Scripture to overcome anything through Jesus Christ. Sometimes we are unable to see clearly and make decisions when we are involved with challenging issues. However, having experienced counsel and a coach to walk alongside, gently offer solutions, and provide hope can make all the difference.
What methods are used?
Unlike traditional counseling or coaching, my approach focuses on the root of the problem and addresses that with Scripture. Without Scripture, we are merely relying on our understanding instead of the Word of God. Many well-meaning counselors focus on the physical, emotional, and mental, but rarely address the spiritual side. This can leave many clients with a 'band-aid' that may last temporarily, but never truly uproots and heals the source of the problem. True Biblical change is vital to the well-being of a person. Instead of being based on mere feelings, true change occurs when it is based on the truths contained in the Word of God.
what issues are addressed?
Sessions can focus on the challenges in life, such as anxiety, depression, fear, weight/eating issues, suicide, trauma, drug addictions, marriage, sexual abuse, anger management, spiritual oppression, relationships, and more. I also specialize in working with youth (ages 6-17). Regardless of what you're going through today, I believe that God's Word, the Holy Bible, is sufficient to answer any of life's problems.
