Your Story Matters...
Every story I hear impacts me. The story of the woman who grew up in a wealthy home with a loving mother and father and good education impacted me as much as the story of the woman who experienced great physical and emotional abuse as a child
Encourage Yourself
I could have chosen to sit there in self-pity and allow those negative thoughts to consume me and ruin my day, but I made a choice to tap into my resources, my recovery tool box and defeat the lies that would hold me in bondage and tell me I am not good enough.
The Me-Too Factor
Oh, the relief I feel when I connect with someone and I hear the me too, the yes, I know how you feel, or I get it- I have been there (what I call the me-too factor)
Enemies or Growth Partners?
We all know people we do not get along with. You know, those people that just rub us the wrong way and everything they say and do annoys us. Okay, maybe I am the only one that experiences this.
Pastors and Counselors Building Stronger, Healthier Congregations
I recently conducted a presentation to a group of pastors and church leaders regarding the benefits of church leaders and Christian counselors working together to encourage and support healthier, stronger congregations
Faith & Counseling
Counseling gives people a safe place to explore their beliefs or lack thereof without judgment and that may include religious or spiritual beliefs.
Insecure Much?
Anyone else struggles with insecurities? In most areas of my life, I am pretty confident. Maybe overconfident in some areas, but there is one area where I feel the most insecure.
I'm A Mess & So Are You
There is something so freeing about admitting we are not perfect and that in fact we are broken or as I like to say a mess. Life gets messy for all of us at times.
