LP, 10 years of experience
Those who work with me A) Have a stronger marriage and family, B) Resolve conflicts in healthy ways, C) Communicate well, D) Gain freedom from the past, and E) Walk more closely with God. If you want these five things, then schedule a free Zoom call with me at onpathcounseling.com or schedule your first full appointment with me through Grow Therapy. I look forward to working with you.
In the first session, I will do my best to listen and understand your world. I will draw a picture of your family and run through a set of questions I have developed over the years that will allow me to get to the heart of your situation. We will also define your goals together and we'll get to know each other a bit.
I am a caring listener and a collaborator by nature. But I can be directive when needed and will tell you what I think. You can choose to follow my advice or ignore it, but at least you will have something to consider from a third-party. After 64 years on this earth, there isn't much that surprises me. Please plan to be honest because I find that the truth is never the problem.
I am best positioned to help individuals, couples and families who are experiencing life transitions, have entrenched conflict, whose family business is becoming too enmeshed with family relationships, or who have general life adjustment issues.
While I can work with people of all faiths, I am especially interested in working with those of the Christian faith. I will bring in Scripture and Biblical theology into my counseling process when appropriate.
I believe that much of what we feel is based on what we think, our self-talk, our beliefs and our conclusions about life. I will look at what you say to yourself and what you believe about yourself and your situation to ensure it is true and accurate.
I use Bowen Family Theory to guide my thinking about the family systems you grew up in and the system you are in today. I find it impossible to not "see" your family, even if they are not attending sessions with you. I will look for family patterns and practices that influence how you feel and the decisions you make.
