My Vision - I was so excited about the changes that occured in my life, that I committed to share the process with others. I obtained the training and credentials, and now I get to help people implement changes that improve their lives. After twenty-seven years, I still get energized by this process, and I use that energy to energize my clients. In my private practice, I provide counseling to imrpove mental health and relationships, mediation to resolve family and divorce conflicts, and coaching to improve ADHD and occupational functioning.
My faith is a gift that I received from God in midlife during a time of great emotional pain. After receiving that gift, He led me to His Word, the Bible, to learn about Him and His plan for my life. This statement of faith is some of what I have learned so far.
God created the universe and everything in it. He loves His creation, including man, whom He created in His image, and to whom He gave His son, Jesus Christ, so we can have a relationship with Him. God wants us to love Him and each other. This love includes feelings of love, but His focus is not on feelings, but on attitudes and actions.Three things are important to Him: 1) how we respond to Him, 2) how we take care of ourselves, and 3) how we treat others. If we are not doing these three things well, He wants us to change. We don't have to do it alone.
My Mission is to help people do the three things important to God
My Philosophy of care is based on several important beliefs:
- I am not here to judge or condemn anyone.
- Each of us is responsible for what we think, feel, and do.
- With appropriate guidance and support, anyone can change.
- We need to agree on goals for our work together.
- Assignments in between sessions speed up the process.
- We need to get rid of baggage that interferes with healthy living.
- Many community resources are useful for support, education or medication.
- When goals are accomplished, we are finished.
