Lisa's Mission and Goals...
Meeting people where they're at in their place of brokenness, including whatever challenges and struggles they are facing while encouraging them to start walking into a place of healing and wholeness. She desires to help them see themselves, not as broken, but rather as vessels of honor.
II Timothy 2:21 says, "Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work."
Lisa's Approach...
Providing a Christ-centered, Biblical and goal-oriented collaborative effort where her clients will be challenged but also supported. She wants her clients to see themselves as the Lord does so that they are able to fulfill the plans and purposes He has created for them.
​
She also offers "walking sessions" as an option for clients in order to incorporate the added benefit of a healthy mental, emotional and physical experience outdoors.
