My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Behaviors are the indicators for us, the red flags of any concerns and the measure of balance or imbalance. They are directly tied to thoughts/beliefs, etc. Many things, all parts of us, contribute to thoughts/beliefs. In therapy we use behaviors and/or thoughts/beliefs to tap into any emotional, spiritual or behavioral issues to address and ways to approach achieving balance and peace through empowerment.

Christian Counseling

I have years working with Christian Counseling to approach struggles. Christians or believers find reprieve and guidance in scripture and their personal relationship with God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. How much that is used is a reflection of each person's beliefs and comfort level. You direct the involvement. Ultimately the goal is finding resolution and peace through your beliefs and usually strengthening your relationship with God.
