SPIRITUAL
-
When the broken moments of our story, cry out, "Where was God?" Even when we can't feel him, he is present with us. I can assure you, he doesn't waist an ounce of suffering. He will use it all for our good and his glory. It just may take us a couple of decades to come to terms and understand it.
-
My office is a safe place where you won't be thumped with a Bible. We will create space to invite Jesus to show you where he was during your suffering moment, and allow him to speak and comfort you.
If you are uncomfortable with a Spiritual Perspective we will stick to traditional counseling practices such as EMDR.

MIND - Transform the Way the Brain Stores Memory
-
EMDR, gold standard for recovering from trauma and PTSD.
-
Reprocess old negative memories, release old stored emotion and body sensations.
-
Release the part of you stuck in that memory, restoring the ability to play, be free, and be at peace.
-
Client's say, "It's like the once awful, scarry memory is now tiny, the color seems to have faded out, or it's blurry, and seems further away. It feels like a fact without all the emotion."

MARRIAGE COUNSELING
-
When I work with couples, I have a slightly different perspective. I use a combination of couples sessions and individual sessions.
-
During couples sessions we will be practicing new ways to communicate and listen, and resolve conflict.
-
In individual sessions we will heal the brokenness that is leading to tension and disagreements.
-
You will need to be willing to create space to look at yourself and not just your partner's flaws. The place we do inner work is during individual sessions.
