Psychotherapy
Therapy can help address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, trauma, grief, stress management, body-image issues, and general life transitions. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives.
Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you reach those goals. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around 50-minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records to track certain behaviors.

Anxiety, sadness, or anger

Each session is tailored to the child’s unique needs, cultural background, and developmental stage. Parents are active partners in the healing journey, receiving guidance and support along the way.

Family Therapy
Christian counselors recognize their work as redemptive and restorative in character. The Christian counselor brings the entire counseling enterprise under the lordship of Christ and aims at reconciling the client's relationship with God. This helps the client find personal significance and meaning in his/her relationship with Jesus Christ and facilitates the restoration of human relationships.
God is our counselor, Jesus is the wonderful counselor and the Holy Spirit is our counselor. Mature Christians are exhorted to encourage others, warn the idle and help the weak. (1 Thess. 5:11;14). Most Christians who counsel believe that God is the author of all truth and that the Bible is the authoritative guide in the counseling process. Sound psychology is used to promote change and wholeness in the counseling relationship when it supports scripture, such as holding people responsible for their behavior and helping people change their thinking and behavior to coincide with truth. Christian counseling evaluates and considers the mental, physical and spiritual needs of people using a process in which the Bible is the authoritative guide.

Christian counseling integrates psychological insight with spiritual values to support emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. This approach honors faith as a source of strength, healing, and purpose, offering a safe space where clients can explore life’s challenges through the lens of their beliefs.

Christian counseling can support:
-
Anxiety, depression, and grief
-
Family or marital conflict
-
Healing from trauma and emotional wounds
-
Spiritual growth and purposeful decision-making
Each session is tailored to the client’s unique needs, cultural background, and spiritual perspective. It’s not about imposing beliefs—it’s about honoring faith as an essential part of holistic wellness.
