5-Star Google Review
“My husband and I did a 2 day intensive with Don. We appreciated his approach of counseling through a biblical lens rather than a worldly one. He also allows and invites the Holy Spirit to lead, knowing that God is in control and trusting that God will move and work in ways we as humans cannot. Don combines mental and emotional healing through normal counseling tactics with spiritual healing through biblical spiritual tactics. He is a very peaceful presence and radiates the Holy Spirit, you can’t be in his presence and not feel the Holy Spirit within him. Through these sessions, I experienced a freedom and joy that I never have before in my life. My husband and I learned so much and were able to grow closer to God and closer together. Chains were broken in the name of Jesus and strongholds were diminished. Now I get to live in the beautifully joy filled freedom we get as Christ followers. God is using and working through Don in incredible ways!”
