General Counseling Philosophy

I employ a variety of methods with my clients, but I primarily focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In essence, this means I help people make connections between how what they think affects how they feel and/or behave. By changing the way we think about a problem or situation, we can try and regulate how we feel, and this make us better equipped to handle the challenges we face. I believe that for most people, this method provides tools that can be used to bring about lasting change. You can read more about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy here.

​Faith-Based Counseling

While I work with people of all creeds and backgrounds, one of my specialties is in Faith-Based Counseling for Christians. In doing so, I anchor common counseling methods in Biblical truths, allowing clients to develop a holistic view of their mental health that marries their spiritual beliefs with their life situation.  

​EMDR

With some clients, especially those who have experienced trauma or suffer from anxiety, I like to practice EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). By combining focused concentration with visual and physical stimuli, this practice can help people identify negatives beliefs based in past trauma and transform them into a positive beliefs about themselves and the world around them.
