I understand the importance of being able to connect your faith/spirituality into the counseling process. I welcome you to explore and involve the way you understand God, relate to Him and your faith/spirituality in the context of your life experiences. My approach involves unconditionally caring and accepting people as they are, and working with them to find healing and overcome challenges. I welcome the use of prayer and scripture as part of our sessions for those interested. I also have a heart for supporting those who have felt hurt by the church as they process their experience and move forward with hope.

Are you looking for a well-trained counsellor? My Masters Degree in Counselling came from Briercrest Seminary. Perhaps you’ve found difficulty identifying or finding empathy? I believe strongly that the three persons of God are the model for relationship in marriage, and between family members and individuals. God's Holy Spirit and the client help me to discern what is needed for healing. God's love enables a Christian counsellor to be able to empathize fully enough to find themselves in their client’s shoes. I look first to the Bible for inspiration about the basic needs of people for attachment to each other and their creator. My practice is built on the basis of openness and honesty.

I have had the privilege of serving the Lutheran church as an ordained clergyperson for 14 years. Even though I am no longer serving the church in an official capacity, I still feel called to share my knowledge of scripture, the power of prayer, and Christ's message of unconditional love, the forgiveness of sins, and the promise of eternal life for those who seek it. I never push my faith onto others. Rather, my relationship with God guides me in our work together. If you're going through a valley, it might be real hard for you to see God today. I get that. I've been there. You may be angry, disillusioned, or afraid. I offer you no judgments...only grace.

I HAVE BEEN TRAINED AS A CHRISTIAN COUNSELLOR AND HAVE ENJOYED DOING CHRISTIAN COUNSELLING WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF. THIS IS NOT PASTORAL COUNSELLING OR COUNSELLING AS A CHAPLAIN BUT IT IS MEETING EACH PERSON IN THEIR PERSONAL STRUGGLES AND SUFFERRINGS AND IDENTIFYING WITH JESUS CHRIST, WHO SHOWED US HOW TO LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE, BUT WHO SHOWS LOVE AND MERCY AND FORGIVENESS. I CAN HELP YOU TO IDENTIFY YOUR STRUGGLES FIND A PATH TO HEALING THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES TO YOUR LIFE. AS A CHRISTIAN COUNSELLOR AND EDUCATED IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELLING PRACTICES, YOU TRULY HAVE 'BEST PRACTICES'.

Faith informs life and can be a great source of help in times of trouble. A therapist that is sensitive to your faith can make all the difference in the world! Sound psychological training is also crucial. I offer both. A sound background in theology and in psychology. So whether you are dealing with anxiety or depression, stress or family problems this is a respectful practice that honors your faith! Dr. Sojonky has both a Ph.D. in psychology and a Doctor of Ministry Degree and worked as a Minister for ten years.

Life can be so difficult & people can start doubting & blaming the troubles they are having on God. They become discouraged & wonder, if God is a God of love, why would He allow them to suffer with such problems. Paul asked the question, "Does that mean that God no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? " (Rom 8:35) We must never confuse God with life. Jesus tells us that he will never leave us or forsake us. "Nothing can separate us from the love of God." (v38). Maureen helps clients find joy & peace, learn how to trust Him more readily & live with confident hope (Rom 15:1).

People who are in seeking counselling need to feel understood and accepted at a deep level. Clients experience an extra depth of understanding when they know that I am providing counselling from a Chrsitian perspective. It is important to Christian clients that I value their faith and values. As I use the principles of Christianity and my personal faith in counselling, this provides a source of wisdom, hope and encouragement to clients that they would not otherwise experience.

I provide counselling based on 3 disciplines: Christian Theology & Psychology (Masters degree level), and Philosophy (Hons degree level). My personal life & worldview is based in Christ. I am trained and well experienced in using Biblical principles and values in counselling and therapeutic interventions. Although my personal life & worldview is based on Christian principles, my philosophical background and training, enables me to accept and use the wide variety of different world views and values of clients, to work with them on personal challenges, in order to reach desired therapeutic outcomes.
