About My Clients
"...be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind..." Neuroplasticity, Rewiring Your Brain, however one choses to label it, the idea of getting rid of old, irrational, nonhelpful, maladaptive patterns of thinking is the premise behind the version of CBT used in my practice. Out with the old, and in with the new - new thoughts, new behaviors, new emotions. We all owe it to ourselves to at least give it a try!
My Background and Approach
"Sometimes you're the wind shield, sometimes you're the bug," but who wouldn't want to learn how to WIN in almost any situation? The "glass is half full" is a perspective that we could all learn to adopt if we would agree to undertake a radical paradigm shift. To learn, study, and practice daily our own strengths and virtues is one of the dominant keys to positive change. Transformation through a renewed mind, of course, is another. "Success" is ultimately in the eye of the beholder.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Although I do not necessarily promote myself as a "Christian Counselor," I do believe The Bible, to be a document inspired by "The Creator of the Universe." Increasingly, it has been validated by historical documentation, archeological discoveries, and veritable fulfilment of prophecy after prophecy. I believe it for the truth that it promotes and the truth that it continues to manifest. I believe that God has made it very clear in his Word the ways that human beings can come to know true peace... the journey is not always what one would expect. "Christian Counseling," as I practice it, integrates principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from a "Christian" world view. His ways are higher than our ways. Discovering, understanding, and practicing them can and does bring great freedom and peace to many a weary soul.
