About Us

Wounding occurs in relationships.Therefore, healing must occur in relationships. Learning how to develop and nurture healthy relationships can be challenging. Even the healthiest of people find that relationships are hard work! This task is made even more difficult when foundational relationships were unhealthy. Without some kind of intervention, the same unhealthy patterns learned in childhood will be duplicated. The capacity to fully trust God and to relate to others in a healthy way is damaged. Emotional healing happens when one encounters a loving God. Biblical tools empower people to create and maintain healthy relationships.

It is not the number of degrees nor years of professional experience alone that best qualify us to minister to hurting people. It is our own emotional healing that has been part of our journey through life...

  • Healing that is still in process...
  • A journey that has led us closer into the heart of a loving Heavenly Father.

We'll treat you with dignity - as a valued child of God. Our aim, through the ministration of our Lord Jesus Christ, is to help those in need of emotional healing - with a combination of professional competence and Christian compassion that fosters an atmosphere in which one can find comfort, rest,
- and new hope.
