About
There is a significant overlap between Christianity and healing from counseling. Numerous secular and religious studies have exalted universal values, like forgiveness, originating in Christianity. Christianity helps individuals to be more like Christ. Counseling helps individuals to develop a more authentic self. By working from a Christian perspective, clients can experience deeper, more meaningful, and more long-lasting change in their lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. I tend to incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman method with biblical principles found within God’s Word.
