Personal Statement

As a trained Mental Health Professional, I seek to provide quality counseling in the context of Biblical truth. I believe problems have psychological, emotional, biological and spiritual dimensions. In holding Biblical truth, I utilize a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach. This is a well established and researched therapy.

Counseling is an opportunity to sort out problems, generate solutions as well as change unhealthy thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We will need to specify goals and set an orderly approach to reaching those goals. While goals vary in kind and value, the process of achieving them is part of the work we do in counseling. We will evaluate your progress and if necessary, redesign your treatment plan, goals and methods. Because therapy can explore painful feelings and experiences, you may feel emotionally uncomfortable at times. This can lead to temporary stress or anxiety. But the coping skills you learn should help you later on to manage and conquer negative feelings and fears.
