Counseling Rooted in Scripture + Clinical Excellence

I’m Ms. Shelia, a devoted follower of Yeshua for over 40 years and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Christian Therapist committed to helping women experience healing, freedom, and restoration.

I believe therapy must minister to:

• The mind (renewed thinking)

• The heart (emotional healing)

• The spirit (relationship with the Lord Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit operating in one's life )

You don’t have to do this alone.
