Ernie is a compassionate, kind, truthful, and mentor-like therapist. Since I chose Christian counseling, she has been extremely encouraging in my faith and has been able to empathize with more of my experiences than I might have expected. Definitely a God thing. She brings up solid scriptural reminders as well as good resources on issues that are fundamental to healthy relationships (e.g. communication). She's a great listener and a thoughtful encourager.
