COUNSELING

I (Kim) have been a counselor at heart from a very young age.  I remember helping my friends with their "little girl" problems - how to deal with siblings, parents, life disappointments. As I got older, friends continued to come to me when they wanted someone to talk through their struggles with.  Approaching college-age, I didn't even have to think twice about the degree I wished to pursue - psychology.

After finishing college and getting married, I wasn't sure what I'd end up doing with my degree.  Get a Master's in Counseling?  More school wasn't appealing, so I waited to see what God would have for me in this area.

Then we found Living Waters. After going through the program and getting involved in leadership, I began to learn about the mysterious and awesome process of walking through the deep trenches of other people's lives with them and helping them find hope and healing.

About five years ago I began meeting with individuals at our church for counseling, and have found that I really love doing it. It's still natural, like it was when I was a young girl, but now I'm equipped with more tools, experience, and - most importantly - the help of the ultimate Counselor: the Holy Spirit.
