Christ-Centered Counseling

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew: 6:33)

Over the years, I have found that all of the principles that work for change and healing in counseling are found in The Bible. I also utilize cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, communication, and family systems theories.

My ministry focuses on:

• Mercy and Grace
• Accountability and Boundaries
• Forgiveness and reconciliation
• Healthy Relationship Development
• Healing Emotional Wounds and Trauma
• Stress Management
• Setting Christ-Centered Goals
• Developing the "Fruits of the Spirit"

Services

Services are available for individuals, couples, and families; as well as phone consultations and half-day retreats. I have a special interest in healing and reconciliation of marriages, and I have experience with the following issues:

• Spiritual Direction
• Relationship Counseling
• Anxiety and Panic disorders
• Depression
• Conflict Resolution
• Grieving and Loss
• Stress Management
• Addictions (including internet pornography addictions)
• Teens

Fees

My fee is $55.00 per hour, and a sliding fee may be discussed at the first session.
