My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

I integrate Christian counseling to offer both emotional and spiritual support. By incorporating biblical principles alongside evidence-based therapies like CBT, I help clients find healing that aligns with their faith. I guide them through challenges with the wisdom and comfort of scripture, prayer, and Christ’s teachings. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can grow emotionally and spiritually, finding peace, hope, and a deeper connection to their faith while navigating life’s struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based approach that seeks to explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It also seeks to uncover and identify deeply held beliefs that may be contributing to an individual's mental health issues.

Faith based therapy

This is an approach that utilizes an individual's faith in the recovery process.

Mario always does his best, and gives good insight on why I feel the way I feel and helps me trace those feelings back to the root of the problem. He also gives me good "homework" by giving me tips and tricks to take into my everyday life that I can use to help me through why I feel the way I feel.

Mario does a really good authentic job of getting to the roof of some of the concerns I have happening. He’s able to put into words the actions and emotions I have that I have trouble communicating.

I love that he listens to me and doesnt have judgements. I also appreciated the scripture so much.
