Welcome to my website! I am so happy that you are here. To get you started, let us figure out the following:

Do you need Counseling or Coaching?

WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN

Catholic Individual, Marriage and Family Counseling

Although the healing power of Jesus Christ is available to anyone who seeks HIM, we often need guidance and support to discern HIS plan and will for our lives. Catholic/Christian counseling incorporates biblical truths with proven psychological techniques to bring about the healing and peace you and your relationships deeply need and desire.

Catholic Life Coaching

Catholic Life Coaching incorporates Catholic prayer, values, faith, and morals, into the Life coaching process by asking powerful questions that can help the client explore and discern God’s plan for their life and take action to achieve their goals. Topics for coaching include any area where the client is seeking to grow, develop or make changes. The coach’s role is to accompany the client and challenge them to stretch into their full potential while holding them accountable and supporting them through the process.

Educational Workshops & Catholic Retreats

Workshops and retreats are open to anyone who is interested in the topic. Signing up for a workshop or retreat does not make you a client, only a participant. These programs are not counseling or coaching but instead they provide education, support, and spiritual guidance to the participants in the group and are usually held online unless otherwise stated.

Catholic Healing And Growth Workshops

As a Catholic Coach and a Catholic Therapist, I understand that the mind is like any other part of the body. It is prone to sickness, injury, and stress. To become well it needs rest, nurturing, and clear guidance.

As a Relationship expert, I also realize that the condition of our relationships and our mental well-being are inseparable. We need to be in the presence of other safe and loving people to heal.

That is why I offer customized Catholic healing and growth group workshops and retreats that incorporate worship, prayer and biblical principles with sound coaching processes utilizing Imago Relationship Coaching and Family Centered Regulatory Coaching as well as a variety of other best practice coaching techniques.

I adjust the balance of each to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment that promotes strength and healing in both the mind and the soul while greatly impacting the condition and quality of your relationships.

"For surely I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans for your welfare not for harm, to give you a future full of hope."
Jeremiah 29:11

Do You Need To Be Right?

By Ellen Truschel. In a conversation do you need to be RIGHT? What happens when someone doesn’t agree with you? Do you feel rejected or maybe even angry? Most arguments are the result of what I call a “Battle of PERSPECTIVES”. Two different perspectives clashing, seeking to be RIGHT. We
