I have been specially trained to practice Christian Counseling, by request only.
I have also been trained to incorporate spirituality and/or faith of any kind into the counseling relationship and goals, but will only do so with the consent and expressed interest of individual clients and/or their families.
I practice from an eclectic theoretical orientation, which combines components and techniques of Interpersonal, Family Systems, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, and Structural theories and therapies.
The Counseling Relationship and the Nature of Therapy:
Each person, couple, or family who seeks counseling comes with unique experiences and concerns. The relationship of the counselor to the client(s) will be characterized by professional dignity, expertise, warmth, and acceptance. Therapy is a learning process that strives for insight and growth, allowing the persons involved to better understand themselves and others. Client autonomy is highly valued. A collaborative therapeutic rapport/relationship is also highly valued.
It is impossible to guarantee specific results regarding therapy. However, you and I work together to achieve the best possible results for you. It is essential that you are actively involved in setting your goals.
