Life Coaching with Doug

Pastoral Counselor
I am a Trained and Certified Pastoral Counselor
In my role as a Pastoral Counselor, my mission is to assist individuals in navigating the challenges they face in their lives and relationships. Guided by the principles of the Christian faith, I integrate biblical wisdom with practical counseling techniques to address the issues my clients bring forth.
​
My goal is to facilitate transformational change, fostering emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. I employ a holistic approach to counseling, considering the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that spirituality and a personal relationship with God are vital in the healing process. This relationship offers hope, security, and peace as we work through life’s difficulties.
​
I specialize in addressing a variety of concerns, including mood disorders, adjustment disorders, and spirituality-related issues. Additionally, I have training in helping individuals and families navigate marital and familial pressures. My approach is to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can heal, explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight, and develop healthy coping strategies.
​
I uphold the Christian worldview that individuals are responsible for their behavior, responses, and attitudes. People have the free will to make choices, and these choices carry consequences. Aligning one's thoughts, words, and actions with their beliefs and convictions is crucial for personal growth and well-being.
​
While I respect each person’s right to their own belief system, I work effectively with clients from various backgrounds, including those who identify as Christians, atheists, or adherents of other religions. For those seeking a faith-based approach, I am here to support and guide you through your journey.
​
If you are looking for counseling that incorporates your Christian faith, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards achieving a healthier and more fulfilling life.
