About

I believe our past relational experiences contribute to the quality of our present and future relationships. During our sessions, we will work to develop insights into areas where you may be stuck in cycles of unproductive habits or behavior, and learn effective tools and methods to modify those practices so you can live a more fulfilled and harmonious life in Christ.

My Goal as a Christian Counselor

My goal is to provide a warm and accepting environment where we can explore the challenges you are facing and gain insight into solutions that will bring lasting relief, with God’s help. As your counselor, I will listen to the issues you are dealing with and offer practical steps to help you overcome any undesired circumstances and struggles. We will work together to develop a customized treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals.

What I Offer in Christian Counseling

I will warmly welcome you into each session and spend time getting to know you and your story. Together we will explore in-depth the issues that have led you to pursue counseling. I offer a delicate and empathetic approach, allowing for deeper exploration so we can get to the heart of the matter. My aim is for you to experience the relief and closure you desire in relation to the challenges you are facing.

My Approach to Christian Counseling

I believe the main benefit of Christian counseling is having a firm foundation on which to build, namely one that is grounded in Scripture and the principles of the Word of God. When we do therapeutic work according to the principles of Scripture while relying on the Holy Spirit and relying on Him for guidance and direction, clients can experience lasting transformation, with God’s enabling grace.

Anxiety

Anxiety can be overwhelming and exhausting. Do you feel like you can’t get it under control? You are not alone. I am confident that utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, biblical principles, and relaxation techniques, we can work toward the relief of your anxiety symptoms. We will also explore your history to identify and modify any unhelpful thinking patterns that may be impacting your ability to overcome.

Depression

You may be struggling with depression if you notice a decreased mood or lack of interest in doing things. I am confident I can help by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, biblical principles, and other proven techniques. Together, we will work toward healing and growth by addressing underlying issues and concerns and turning to the Lord for ultimate hope.

Relationship Issues

It can be troubling when important relationships are not functioning well. From an attachment perspective, disconnection can lead to a sense of insecurity, especially if we don’t have a secure attachment within ourselves. I can help by modeling a secure attachment and encouraging the same behavior with your significant others. We will explore family history to discover and heal any attachment injuries that may be impacting your current relationships.

Grief and Loss

Grief and grieving can be found throughout Scripture. It is expected that we will experience grief from time to time. It is common to feel alone in our emotions during the grieving process. Together, we will walk through the stages of grief, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Infidelity and Affairs

Being the victim of infidelity can be one of the most devastating experiences of our lives. We shouldn’t be alone through it, as it makes things much worse. It is invaluable to have someone to walk with through the painful feelings and thoughts. I am confident I can help as you heal from infidelity. Also, I believe that those who commit infidelity need support. Together, we will explore and process any possible reasons for the affair and take steps toward finding healing.
