About My Clients
My specialty is pre-marital counseling as I believe that a strong foundation going into marriage is crucial to save a potential for a lifetime of hardship. I also work with people who are already married, or who are already in longterm commitment, and are struggling in their relationships. Although I find it more useful and meaningful to work with couples, I also see individuals with partners who are unwilling to come to therapy.
My Background and Approach
I use a form of therapy that helps to reduce the conflict that, on the surface, seems to be the source of stress in your relationship. In the second phase of care, I guide you into connecting with each other on a more deeper level. This approach is called Emotionally Focused Therapy and has research studies since the early 1980s that supports it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a Chrisitan who tries to follow my expectations from Christ as best as possible. This includes the belief that all people are worthy of love, acceptance, and respect. My mode of therapy has scientific support and mirrors the teachings of scripture and have confidence that this modality is highly appropriate for believers and non believers. I am a fundamental believer that people are driven to connect with others in a safe manner, which many of us can think of this in the form of trust.
