I have a strong faith and, when invited, am willing to work with individuals to bring faith into the counseling process. Often, the faith someone has can lay a foundation for the stability they need to make the changes necessary.
As a Christian therapist, I incorporate a faith-based therapy approach if the individual wishes. We can talk about how faith can be a resource to the healing that happens. I also work with all faiths. The client's faith needs are important to recovery.

Growing up in a Christian home, I found that I needed to run away from those beliefs for many years. That is what it took to open my eyes to a relationship with God that honors every part of my life and excites me to explore my faith with a demand that it supports my science as a psychologist and integrates the models and theories I use in my practice. If a client wants a focus on Christianity, I am happy to take that focus. If not, I do approach our work with the belief that every aspect of our lives can work together for our good.
