Pastoral
Counseling
I provide
pastoral counseling to interested individuals and couples. In
counseling I use prayer and theology as well as my knowledge of
behavioral science to bring insight and healing to those who come
to me for help.
As a minister and counselor, I believe that all men and women are
made in God’s image – that we are sons and daughters of
a prodigal father who loves us even when we are lost, looks for us
when we are far, and always offers hope and healing when we turn to
Him in need.
I believe that healing the wounded spirit and psyche of necessity
involves the process of self-exploration, through which comes
growth and transformation. People carry the seeds of their own
healing and health within themselves – it is the role of the
counselor to help them discover and use their inner resources in
the service of wholeness, health and growth.
In counseling I use traditional religious practices, such as
prayer, meditation, and sacred reading, as aids in the healing
process.
Pastoral
Counseling is the process of helping individuals or couples that
suffer from misunderstanding, guilt, loss, anger, resentment, or
fear discover love, understanding, forgiveness, Good News, and the
fullness of life.
