Life can be difficult. Sometimes we hurt. We hurt because people hurt us, because life tragedies hit us, and because we may not have the skills to cope with what life has thrown our way. Whatever your problems are, know that there is hope. You can get better than where you are right now. You can heal and you can grow. Life can be joyful. Relationships can be mended and restored, losses can be grieved, tears can be turned to joy! |

I have learned first hand that depressions can be lifted. Skills for life can be learned. Tools can be acquired to manage and even overcome stress, anger, fear and anxiety. Communication and conflict resolution skills can be learned. Bipolar moodswings can be moderated. The immense power of anger can be brought under control and used for good as you learn anger management skills. Help and encouragement is only a phone call away. For those who are Christian , sound biblical principles are integrated into sessions. Scriptures will be used to assist you in your healing process, to build you up and to restore you. When needed, the truth of Gods' Word will also be used to bring gentle correction and direction. Those who are not Christian are most welcome to receive therapy. And please know that you will not be inundated with Bible verses in an attempt to force faith on you or to force you to change. God invites gently and lovingly. He does not force. God loves to bind up the broken-hearted, heal the sick and set captives free. He loves and accepts us much more than He judges us. I strive to do the same. |
What type of counseling methods do I use?
In the atmosphere of a warm and caring relationship, I use an eclectic approach to counseling. Eclectic means that I draw the best techniques from several counseling theories, one's that will suit your particular needs, and help you best. A whole-person approach is also used. This looks at and addresses the whole person: thoughts, feelings, family history, social connections, emotional needs, physical needs and spiritual needs. All of these areas need to be addressed to be healthy, happy, and whole. I use scriptures as the Holy Spirit leads, to offer hope, encourage, guide, and to bring comfort and healing to your heart, mind and soul. If needed, we can also examine and work to discover things that bring purpose and meaning to your life.
A few of my favorite verses:
"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
"Come to me all you who are weary and heavily burdened
and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28"After you have suffered a little while
God himself will restore, establish and strengthen you" 1Peter 5:10"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

"These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you,
and that your joy may be made full." John 15:11"No weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from Me," declares the Lord. Isaiah 54:17"There is therefore no condemnation for
those who are in Christ Jesus" Romans 8:1
He gives me beauty for ashes
"Forget not all His Benefits
Who forgives all of our sins
And heals all of our diseases." Psalm 103:2-3"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." Isaiah 61:1
