It has been an honor to serve the Lord and to fulfill His calling on my life as a biblical counselor over the past several years. My counseling approach is grounded in Philippians 3:10-14, “I want to know Christ – yes, to know the power of His resurrection and participation in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection of the dead. Not that I have already obtained all of this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” This passage is the heartbeat of my counseling approach because it speaks to our identity as it proclaims who Christ is and who we are in Him. It points to the mighty power of God who abundantly overflows with all of the resources we need for change in our lives. We are all in need of a process to experience healing from our past wounds, to seek freedom from our chains, and to become more like Him in our thoughts, words, and actions. I am honored to get to walk along side people as they dive into what is difficult and achieve their desired goals. I desire for those who I work with to gain new skills and to experience healing through the power of God. My approach includes integrating Biblical truth with psychological techniques and exercises. I believe it is important to provide a safe and inviting environment designed to facilitate a counseling relationship based on trust and shared goals.
