Individual and Couples Counseling
Life can be challenging, and seeking help in uncertain times and in the rocky phases of life, is a step in the right direction. People seek professional counseling generally because some aspect of their life is causing them significant difficulty and/or emotional pain. As a professional counselor, I'll work with you to decrease current suffering, resolve problems, or create better relationships with significant others. I do this by hearing you, understanding your experiences, and offering tools to support healthy functioning. For faith-based clients, I offer counsel in the context of Christian values, the impact of sin upon behavior, biblical truth, and the ultimate healing found in a personal relationship with God.
My core fields of training includes grief counseling, trauma/PTSD work, mood disorders, and domestic abuse specifically toward women and children; family and parenting education; and couple/individual counseling in communication skills, connection, affairs, and child loss/miscarriage. I am a trained Lifespan Integration therapist as well.
My objectives as a therapist are to . . .
…Help people to develop their potential, recognize options and alternatives and mobilize resources to deal with life's situations.
…Guide the integration of feelings and life-patterns with the past memories while creating connections in the body-mind so that it reacts more appropriately to the current life situation.
…Address the whole person in the physical, emotional, social/relational and spiritual domains.
…Assess people in terms of integrated functioning and recognize that problems in one area of living may have an impact on other areas.
…Provide a caring, trusting, nonjudgmental environment in which clients' values and integrity are respected.
…Adhere to the American Counseling Code of Ethics.
