My goal is to help you as a person, as a whole person to help re-claim your life! I will work with you through Christian/Biblical Counseling.

As a Christian/Biblical Ministry Counselor/Life Coach:  We will help one to develop a biblical strategy or framework for your specific issues. We will identify and apply the Scriptures to common problems faced in the daily living. There will be a special emphasis on understanding the counseling process and its outcomes. We will explore the sufficiency of Scripture to equip you for the issues that lay at hand.

Our purpose in this will be to provide insights into those Scriptural principles that govern counseling in today’s postmodern setting. It is intended to be a hands-on, practical in discovering what true soul care is and how counseling can be most effective in today’s hectic world.

We are in St. Petersburg, FL.  I will be happy to meet with you and speak with you.
