She has considerable experience with communication issues, addictive/compulsive behaviors, divorce, depression, grief, marriage and parenting, identity and self-esteem.

Sheila also offers Theophostic Prayer Ministry. Theophostic comes from two Greek words, theos=God, and phos=light. So the origin of the coined term refers to God’s light shining into the darkness of our minds where they are clouded by lies we are unknowingly believing. Theophostic Prayer Ministry is not counseling per se but rather a prayer ministry during which the facilitator of the ministry session asks the Lord through prayer to enable the ministry recipient to:
*Own and take responsibility for their emotional pain. (allow him/herself to feel the emotions)
*Let go of all defenses and other hindrances which keep one from moving toward God's purposes in the process.
*Discover and expose the lie-based causes of the emotional distress.
*Hold up everything to the Lord for His truth, release, and mind renewal.
