Counseling offers you the opportunity to invest in your personal well-being and growth, and in your most important relationships.  All this is in the context of a helping therapeutic relationship.  Your goals for seeking counseling as well as your individual learning style will give direction to our work together and will influence the therapeutic approaches I use. 

 

My style of counseling is informed by several different theories which include pastoral theology, personality temperaments, faith and moral development, classic and contextual family systems, attachment theory, psychodynamic and educational approaches.

 

When it seems appropriate clinically, I use and teach “Emotional Freedom Techniques,” an acupressure protocol, as an optional treatment within cognitive behavioral therapy.
