My aim in providing counseling is to assist those who struggle with past hurts, or present difficulties, to improve their quality of life. But there is only so much that I can do. The responsibility for getting better lies with each client. Without their commitment to make the necessary changes in their lives, nothing will change, nothing will get better. In my role as a Christian Life Coach, it is my honor to lead people to an understanding of just how important it is to follow Jesus Christ, to believe in Him as teh Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit can enable you to have the strength and the courage to live a good life. Treating others as you would like to be treated is very important. Even more importantly is to live a life that is pleasing to God. (Please note that insurance does not pay for life coaching).
