Counseling from a Christian perspective with the Bible as a major source of reference is available and an area where I have experience. A Christian counseling session is like a regular session that I provide in many ways ; however, in a Christian counseling session wisdom and truth from the Bible will be utilized along with prayer if agreed upon by the client.

I work with clients to form an individual growth/treatment plan that will help guide the use of efficacious counseling and psychotherapeutic services. I utilize integrative elective therapeutic approaches that is client-centered and evolves as needed over the course of the therapeutic relationship.

When providing couples counseling, I not only work with the couple on establishing and safe and empowering therapeutic alliance in which we identify areas that need to be addressed, but we also develop rules of engagement to be used in the sessions and outside of the sessions.

In addition to mutually agreed upon growth plan goals, growth in the area of heart centered communication and we focused problem solving are also viewed as paramount for the couples growth. During the course of counseling we don’t just focus on what is not working but we also highlight what is working-- areas of strength to stand on as we explore and process what is broken, needs attention, and in some cases is “all messed up.”
