Inner Healing is the process of dealing with the painful episodes or trauma from our past. Those reactions can be to anything that happened to us in our childhood such as divorce, trauma, abuse, fear of any kind or even just a barking dog. Our reactions are often not good, mostly because we are not equipped to handle the things that hurt us as children.
When we have been deeply wounded through past experiences, as children or young adults, we carry the memories and the feelings associated with those experiences with us. They can affect us well into adulthood. Until God heals us in those areas of pain and brokenness, we will not live and grow into the people that He created us to be. We will live as prisoners trapped in the bondage of our deep wounds. Inner healing is God's way of liberating and restoring us from those deep wounds.
Why bring God into it? Because only He can bring healing to your deepest wounds and how they even got there. He knows you better than anybody . . even you.
Inner Healing is an important part of our Christian walk. When we deal with the hurts of the past then we’re more able to live the wonderful life that God has planned for us. Working together and led by the Holy Spirit, we will identify those road blocks and overcome them so you can live free from the hurtful issues of the past. Inner Healing helps you find your true identity, destiny, and purpose.
How do you know you need inner healing?
Here are a few examples:
- Addictions of any kind.
- Unforgiveness — either the need to forgive others or to forgive yourself.
- Disappointments, failures, lost dreams or hopes.
- Have suffered verbal, mental, sexual, spiritual or physical abuse.
- A distorted belief system about oneself (i.e. believing lies).
- Guilt and shame. Guilt can be a God–given emotion we have when we have sinned. Shame, on the other hand, is one of our biggest enemies which can make us feel like we should never have been born. Guilt says, "I made a mistake;" whereas shame says, "I am a mistake."
- Being harassed by the enemy.
- Inner judgments — negative words uttered against us may eventually become our own judgments; "You're stupid" becomes "I'm stupid."
- Extreme emotions (i.e. excessive anger or fear) indicate the person's emotions need to be healed.
- Too little emotion. Apathetic people do not know how they should feel in a given situation so they suppress their emotions.
- When we have fresh feelings whenever we think about people or events that occurred in the past.
- When we have a strong over-reaction to something.
- When we keep encountering similar negative situations or events in our lives.
What Inner Healing is NOT, is anything that may be considered New Age. It is completely Biblical. And there is never, ever any judgment or shame. The Bible says in Isaiah 61:1-3 and again in Luke 4 by Jesus:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
. . .To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
Inner Healing is an important part of our Christian walk. When we deal with the hurts of the past then we’re more able to live the wonderful life that God has planned for us. Working together and led by the Holy Spirit, we will identify those road blocks and overcome them so you can live free from the hurtful issues of the past. Inner Healing helps you find your true identity, destiny, and purpose.
There is hope for us all. It’s what Jesus paid the price for. I’ve been through lots of inner healing myself and I believe it will continue until Jesus calls me home. The Lord is constantly showing me areas of my life where I’ve believed lies or where former issues of my life need to be resolved so I can move forward in freedom. What I will walk you through will give you new tools for your tool belt that you can use on yourself moving forward.
Please see the section "About Me" for my journey and qualifications. Our sessions will start with a 30-minute free video session to meet each other and ask any questions you may have about the process. Honesty is important. All sessions are completely confidential. If you feel comfortable going forward, in the next session, the Holy Spirit will lead us and we will just follow that lead. After all, He knows exactly what you need. Ready to meet?

It is important to note that medical intervention may be helpful and even necessary for some people. If a depressed person suffers from a chemical imbalance, medication may be needed.

Christian Counseling is distinct from secular counseling in that it specifically incorporates the spiritual dimension, biblical truths, and seeking God’s will for an individual’s life. Christian counselors understand that the Bible has a lot of practical wisdom about human nature, marriage and family, trauma, addiction and so much more. By using biblical concepts and being led by the Holy Spirit, we can map out a great plan for your life and remove any barriers that exist.
Why Christian counseling? No one knows us better than God especially our hurts and wounds. Christian Counseling is rooted in God, exalting of Jesus Christ, enabled by the Holy Spirit, and offered in love. It focuses on the care of the whole person, body, soul, and spirit and maintains the values taught in the bible. More than simply referring to the Holy Spirit, I actively trust the Holy Spirit to enable my counsel, give understanding to your mind, as well as soften and transform your heart. Every good and lasting change in the soul of a person comes by the Holy Spirit’s power and revelation.
I will focus on helping you achieve a better understanding of yourself and your relationship to God (or start one if you choose) while using counseling concepts to overcome addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, problems in relationships, and past/present trauma or abuse. The goal of Christian counseling is to help people regain a sense of hope for their life. Or for some, maybe just deepen their walk with God and discover their life purpose and destiny.
I will not try to "fix" you and your problems and there is never, ever any judgment or shame. But I do promise to love you well, counsel with wisdom, and help you see and trust the Lord more deeply.

Recovery Life Coaching will help you navigate through the challenges associated with living life sober and help you maintain sobriety. If you are struggling with the challenges of sobriety or are ready to take that first important step, I'm here to help you in your journey as a peer recovery coach. Yes, I've been where you are and have been sober for 24 years. From street drugs to prescription drugs, pornography, alcohol, etc., let's tackle this thing together.
A Christian Recovery Coach, also known as a Peer Recovery Coach, Christian Life Coach, Spiritual Coach, Christian Accountability Coach, is a non-clinical professional who applies biblical principles and scripture to those addicted individuals who are going through recovery, have gone through recovery, or who plan to start recovery. “Addiction” is not limited to substance abuse, but to any addiction; alcohol, pornography, gambling, work, eating, sex, whatever.
A "peer" recovery coach brings the lived experience of recovery, combined with training, to assist in initiating and maintaining recovery, and helping to enhance the quality of spiritual, work, personal and family life in long-term recovery. Peer recovery support services play an important, but singular, role as treatment without other recovery supports has often been insufficient in helping individuals to maintain their recovery. Peer-based recovery provides a range of faith-based and person-centered support for the whole person for recovery management. They involve the process of giving and receiving non-clinical assistance to support their recovery. Peer recovery support services can support or be an alternative to clinical treatment for substance use disorders including support for the added benefit of Medicated Assisted Treatment with Suboxone.
As your coach, I will walk side by side with you through this process and help you create your own recovery plan. Recovery plans are customized and built on individual strengths, needs, and recovery goals. Recovery support is rooted in a culture of hope, health, and wellness. The unique relationship between us is grounded in trust, hope, faith, support and the tools you need to achieve your long-term recovery goals.
Coaches have no agenda, no personal investment in whether you take one path versus another. Instead, as your coach, I will listen for and focus on the gap between where you are now and where you sense God is calling you to be. As a Christian Coach, I rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the discernment process. We have the Holy Spirit within us, and that same Spirit knows the plans, your giftings, your personality, and the calling that you have. We will partner together with the Holy Spirit on a journey to discover how to maneuver the challenges you face and achieve your destiny.
People who have worked with recovery coaches provide strong testimonies of the positive impacts of recovery support on their own recovery journeys. The research supports these experiences and there is mounting evidence that people receiving recovery coaching show improvements in recovery outcomes, such as:
· Improved relationship with treatment providers
· Increased treatment retention
· Increased satisfaction with the overall treatment experience
· Improved access to social supports
· Decreased emergency service utilization
· Reduced re-hospitalization rates
· Reduced substance use
· Decreased criminal justice involvement
· Reduced relapse rates
· Greater housing stability
· Job stability
· And of course, relationship and family restoration
No matter what your addiction may be, there is hope for restoration wherever its needed. If you’ve lost your path and have strayed from God’s grace, I am here to bring you back to the road that leads to healing, forgiveness, love, and acceptance. Understanding how Christianity can help to guide you through your recovery is my expertise and there is never, ever any judgment or shame. I understand what it means to have an addiction and to find a way back to a healthy and productive lifestyle.
Each person’s struggle is different. Past trauma and pain are heavy burdens that push us further into our addiction and away from the grace, mercy, and peace that Jesus Christ has made available to us. Your recovery story is a great one that is yet to be written. Let me help you write that.
We will meet via face-to-face video chat in the comfort of your home which is designed to help you transition safely back to living a clean life free of regrets and sorrow. There is hope, I am a walking testimony of that. I would treasure the privilege of being your recovery coach. Please see the section entitled “About Me” for my journey and qualifications. Our sessions will start with a 30-minute free video session to meet each other and ask any questions you may have about the process. If you feel comfortable going forward, in the next session, we will dive in with questions and answers. Ready to meet? Click here to schedule your free 30 minute introductory meeting.
