What do you like best about coaching?
I began a counseling ministry because I wanted people of Christian Faith to have access to mental health counseling that would incorporate Biblical beliefs into treatment. I have enjoyed the blessing of praying with clients, and helping them to understand and discern better the Word of God, find him in their daily life, and integrate their religious/spiritual beliefs into daily action.
How do you recharge on your day off?
Going to the gym for a good workout and swim, visiting novelty shops, shopping, eating out, visit the beach or lake front, bike riding, visiting with friends
