Mission Statement

My mission is to comfort and encourage people, helping them to grow in Christ as individuals and strengthening family relationships.  As people make their relationship with Jesus Christ their most important relationship, then all other relationships improve.

The "Acorn" name reflects my philosophy that changing our thoughts is like planting tiny seeds from which new and healthy emotions, attitudes and behaviors can grow, bringing hope for a bright new future.

Asking for help is the first step.  Look around this site and read the articles.  Think about what you would like to accomplish in counseling. Please call me at 361-937-8711 for an appointment.

Scripture based counseling involves these steps:

You must renew your mind:  Romans 12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

By finding the truth:  John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, "If ye continue in My WORD, then are ye My disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

To gain peace: Philippians 4:6  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.  7 And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
