Hello! I see health and wellness as a three-legged stool, including the physical, mental/emotional and spiritual selves. When one self is suffering, the others are directly affected. So, in my practice we address all three. Although I find value in and use techniques from many counseling theories, my main foundation is in Attachment and Family Systems -all though a Biblical perspective.

I view the counseling process as forming an alliance with you, in dependence on God, to explore the nature of your problem. Based upon a Biblical understanding of people, I believe you are made to deeply relate…this is the source of your greatest joy, but also of your deepest pain. As a result, we will explore the nature of your relationship with other significant people in your life, in addition to the time we spend exploring the specific problem that brought you into counseling. Your willingness to honestly acknowledge and deal with the issues that affect your life will determine the results of your counseling journey. I believe it is my role to walk beside you – to motivate, to listen, to encourage, to comfort, to be honest, to create opportunities for revelation and to celebrate successes. As we walk together in the journey, we will determine goals that are in your best interest, mutually agreed upon and address problems that fall within the scope of my training.

Finally, Matthew 22:34-40 is the motivation of my life. I believe that this declaration by Jesus is the Mission for every believer. My role is to help you discover what it looks like for you to love Him and others well.

But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
