Client Success Stories & Testimonials

What Former Clients Say

Real experiences from individuals who have found healing and growth through our work together.

  • Mary I.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Under your care I was able to survive. You give everything of your heart and mind and that makes all the difference.

  • Lauren C.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    You have such endless patience for this work. You are so powerful in your impact. I remember everything I got from you. So creative and merciful and compassionate and loving, all combined. Never judgmental. You have a God-given gift.

  • Isabela O.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Each person you see will be a divine appointment. The Holy Spirit just comes bursting out of you. What you do is magical, really mystical.

  • Lucille U.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I still remember and use something you told me to do – to write an account of a Bible story, putting myself in it as one of the characters. Remember the one I wrote about Magdalene at the empty tomb. People were touched by that.

  • Barbara A.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I remember you telling me that a traumatic event for a child, because they can't process it -- is in a "freeze frame." Just stuck there. That helped me understand why sometimes I couldn't stop acting like a two-year-old because I was a 2-year-old.

  • Evelyn P.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    You told me I would make a great play therapist, because I so "get" little children. That meant so much to me.

  • Iris Q.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    You tell the truth in a way that it goes in... You speak directly and with eloquence.

  • Catherine M.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I use something you did with troubled young people. When there is a paradox in someone's attitude, something that doesn’t make sense, you never said, "that's stupid." You would just begin to ask questions and explore about where that might be coming from.

  • Millie L.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    You are just an amazing human being. One of the great creatures that God has made.

  • Ida G.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    My time spent with you has been life changing! So thankful the Lord arranged for us to meet and grow together. You are such a blessing!

  • Janice and Richard A.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Dave and I are so very grateful for you! Your wisdom, concern, and love are so much more than we’d ever dreamed of in a counselor! But the greatest gift has been your friendship and your teaching and leading us into a closer walk with Jesus. Thank you is not enough! We love and appreciate you!

  • Linda G.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    You bless my life in so many ways. Thank you for your wisdom & time on Friday. You helped me so much to set things into perspective. I love you dearly.

  • Jason F.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I don’t think you realize how much I have valued and will cherish every session we had together. Thank you so much for seeing me for me, for loving me when I felt unlovable, for encouraging me when I was down, for rejoicing with me when we had breakthroughs or when I succeeded.

  • Karla C.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    When I think of a real-life superhero, I think of you. It’s such an honor to get to know and love you! Thank you for laughing and crying with me over this past year. It’s been the hardest but best year of my life. Without you I’d probably be stuck in the cycle of abuse. I thank God for you every day!

  • Teresa C.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    When I read Baby Dolls and Ninja Swords the first time I identified with the children. [Reading] it this time, I identified as an adult, and I longed to help children the way you did.

  • Maxine A.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    You’ve given me so much that now it’s overflowing to other people. The incredible healing I’ve experienced over the past 2 years is a testament to your ability as a therapist. You let God’s love work and overflow in you!

  • Jane B.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I’m so grateful to God for how He loved me enough to bring me to you!

  • Lisa P.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I just wanted to tell you how much grateful I am for the sessions we had. I pass by your office frequently and I shout out a hello!

  • Emma C.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I thank God for the wisdom, stories, and love you’ve shared with me—they have been instrumental in my healing. I’ve always dreaded therapy until now. God has really given you a remarkable gift, and I know he looks at you with such pride and joy. You will get a billion crowns in Heaven some day.

  • Denise W.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Thanks again for all your support and helping me through a very difficult period in my life. As I said before, you’re a very special person!

  • April & BreonnaHappy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Ellie, I couldn’t ever begin to tell you what a blessing you have been in our lives.

  • Belinda B.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Your presence in my life is a present that cannot be replicated. It is indescribable – your talent, compassion and kindness mean so much to me!

  • Shelia P.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    I was reading through my journal today. I hadn’t written in it since back when I was seeing you. It was amazing to see the change in myself!

  • Lyn F.Happy Client

    👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
    Thank you so much for everything – you were my life-saver and eye-opener.

  • Lucie B.Happy Client
