Counseling
The need for counseling can feel scary, painful and embarrassing. At times like these, you value a safe and compassionate environment. I offer individuals, children, teens, couples and families effective counseling using a variety of methods, and would be honored to work with you. Please read on through these pages and contact me to schedule some time to talk.
My Theraputic Style
I use a variety of well researched counseling techniques, tailored to each individual's needs. These include cognitive/behavioral therapy,insight-oriented counseling, motivational interviewing, and family systems based therapy. I use the Prepare and Enrich program for pre- marital and couples counseling, and the principals of John Gottman, a well know expert on happy marriage. All clients are also offered the option of Christ centered counseling. Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor and the Holy Spirit provides us with the power we need to make the changes we so deeply desire; therefore, at the client’s request we will use prayer and Biblical principles during our session. Since all truth is God’s truth, none of the social science based methods I use conflict with the teachings of Jesus.
