Your life doesn't have to be this way. The consequences of the past can impact our moods and our relationships right here, right now. If your partner is half-way out the door, your boss is reprimanding you, and you find yourself increasingly alone as your friends ghost you, it might be time for a change. Maybe one of your friends gets bold one day and says, "Maybe it is time you talked to someone." My clients tell me that therapy has helped them not "get over" a traumatic childhood or relationship, anger problems, or the suicide of a loved one, but put those losses in context, understand how our brain protects us from pain, and find better coping skills to rebuild a life worth living.

Choosing a psychologist can be stressful, confusing, and frightening. Will she be able help us? How long will it take? What do I look for? My approach to psychotherapy is a collaborative effort where you and I work on mutually agreed upon goals. We work to solve specific problems within a specific time frame. After carefully assessing the present concerns, we explore the problems within the context of family dynamics and medical history. We then identify goals and agree on ways to accomplish them. This problem-solving, time-limited approach enables you to identify your strengths, focus on the problems, attain your goals, and succeed in your treatment. This process does not have to take forever. I look forward to working with you.

Did you know that techniques used 15 years ago (and sadly by some therapists today) have actually been shown in research to be more likely to split couples apart than unite them??? When you make the decision to spend your time and money on counseling, you want it to work!!! That's why I use approaches by Dr. Gottman and Sue Johnson created from over 20 years of research with real couples. It allows me to provide counseling in a way than most couples find refreshingly different and more interactive than they imagined.

Work with a skilled, dedicated, experienced professional who can assist you in dealing with divorce, trauma, and life changes. Therapy focuses on developing relationships within the family through individual therapy for the child, parenting assistance, and family interventions. Life is complicated! Learning to navigate parenting issues, marital troubles, issues from our past, and integrating our world view into our lifestyle can be difficult--especially when we feel so disconnected from others. Counseling From A Christian Perspective Using the Bible in counseling is crucial for a Christian's growth. Learning from the timeless truths of the Bible with someone else can give a perspective and a power missing from other forms of therapy. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from unrighteousness. This type of therapy incorporates both evidenced based therapeutic interventions and Bible verses to facilitate change. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-Breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. For parents, the only difference in the Christian therapy and typical play therapy is the interventions at home--Bible memory and reading stories from the Bible that touch on specific issues in the child's life. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Helping parents incorporate their world view into their parenting is the goal.
