You were ransomed with purpose, but do the trials of life seem to hold you back from finding that purpose or living it out?  Challenging situations, relationships, chronic illness, disabilities can shape and guide your emotions, choices, & outlook.  How you respond to life’s challenges often depends on how you have learned to see life along the way. Having someone to listen to your heart and help you understand the bigger picture of your situation can ease that burden. I use the framework of God’s word, and evidence-based methods when needed, to help you confront and overcome the roots of your challenges. Together we can create a plan that facilitates positive growth enabling healthier relationships with God, yourself, & others moving you towards a path of living in all you were purposed to be and living it with joy.
