Counseling & Healing

We live in a fallen world we are all in need of healing. I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from Jesus and a counselor!
The following are a few resources I have found helpful on this journey. I'm praying that you are able to bring it all to God, who is our Healer. Be patient with yourself and cling to hope. Things will get better, You are not Alone!
