About
With compassion and grace, I will work with you to establish clear goals based on your specific needs and desires. Whether you’re looking to experience fewer panic attacks, stronger relationships, improved sleep, stabilized moods, or renewed purpose, tools are available for your healing and growth. Through proven techniques including communication tools, grounding exercises, boundary-setting strategies, and more, I will journey alongside you as you grow from strength to strength.
A common theme throughout my career has been relationship issues in all their forms and aspects, from managing boundaries, setting limits, and developing clear and effective communication and interpersonal skills to addressing intimacy issues and dealing with power struggles or problem resolution. Stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors often result from how we are intertwined in the lives of others. By learning, we find that they are less likely to disappoint us and our relationships become healthy.
Since each individual and couple is unique, I do not use a “cookie cutter” approach to counseling. My role as your counselor is to meet you where you are in every session and to share ideas, to stimulate thought, to respect your individual struggles and abilities, and to be a creative part of your movement toward your goals. Once your goals have been met, you will have ultimately developed healthy coping skills to utilize in all areas of your life. Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself will also give you a higher sense of esteem and confidence.
My Goal as a Christian Counselor
My aim is to help you grow in your understanding of yourself, your circumstances and your God, learn helpful coping skills, and gain tools to achieve healing. Together we will establish and set clear, attainable goals based on your unique objectives. As your faith-based therapist, my goal is for you to experience reduced symptoms, greater self-awareness including your identity in Christ, healthier relationships, and renewed purpose in the Lord.
What I Offer in Christian Counseling
I offer a compassionate, supportive, confidential space where you openly share your story and explore ways to experience the growth you desire. We’ll create a customized treatment plan to meet your individual goals. Together we’ll take steps to uncover the causes of some of your struggles and develop practical strategies to overcome whatever challenges you face. As we celebrate progress and build momentum, we’ll adjust our approach to maximize progress and growth.
My Approach to Christian Counseling
Our whole lives are a work in progress. At times, the challenges of the past and the current struggles of daily living can feel overwhelming and we can get lost and stuck. When this happens, faith-based coping tools and changing our thinking with the help of Christian counseling can be effective.
As a Christian counselor, I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me in each session. I also love the opportunity to speak biblically over my clients, pray with them, and help them align their lives with the Word of God.
