PRIVATE COUNSELING

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a process focused on helping you heal and learn more constructive ways to deal with any problems or issues within your life. If you find yourself in pain, feeling stuck or frustrated, my counseling services can help.

In my work as a psychotherapist, I practice from both a psychodynamic and family systems approach. However, both approaches help bring into consciousness those parts of the self that are not deeply known yet effect, and even control, our daily lives in ways that are frequently repetitive, and sometimes destructive, to our success, well-being and our mental and physical health. These unknown parts of our self can impact our thoughts, our emotions, our sense of self, our decisions, our schooling, our careers and work and our relationships with family, friends and coworkers.

Pastoral Counseling

Placing great respect for the faith dimension of the human experience has value in helping to heal emotional wounds, resolve conflicts, facilitate life transitions, and clarify values and purpose. In my work as a Pastoral Counselor, I “meet the client where they are spiritually,” allowing each individual to work at a pace and in a style that is their most comfortable. This sometimes means I am a fairly quiet listener and sometimes it means I am more interactive, asking questions and responding and educating. It is the client’s own interpersonal style that dictates and guides my interactions with them on their spiritual quest.

Prayer

Prayer is the privilege of communicating with God, embracing and reflecting on the things that truly matter. Whether expressing requests for yourself or a loved, it pays to pray. I am willing to pray for you and with you.
