My approach in Christian counselling is a combination of scripture and biblical teachings with psychotherapy models to help you deal with challenges that come your way. A strong faith that is resilient can provide you with the tools to work through difficult situations and resolve life’s issues.
Depending on your reason for reaching out, we can collaboratively work on ways one can reconnect with God and their faith. We can also look at some coping mechanism, stress-management, problem solving, communication and relationship navigation skills and techniques. As well we can choose a therapy approach that suits your specific needs
I have counselled at a Christian university for many years in all areas of faith: such as questioning one's faith, improving one's prayer life, and also how to make faith one's own after growing up in a Christian home.

My approach to Religious Counseling focuses on a holistic theory! One of which seeks the individual's body, mind, and, spirit connection. Exploring what religion means to you? How do you practice religion to help your mental health and lifestyle? How do you identify religion? Where do your Belief Systems, Religion, God, Spirituality, and "Love for Self" come from?
Are you interested in seeking counselling with a professional who can understand your unique and personal views and values? Are you a Christian or do you come from a Christian background, and want to feel comfortable exploring what that means to you and what you have experienced? Is your faith important to you, and do you find meaning and resilience in it? Conversely, is there a sore spot in your life around religion? Would like to explore or incorporate your unique experience of being a Christian into therapy? Would you like to be inspired and rediscover the ways your Christian faith intersects with your experiences? Therapy should be a safe place to explore all areas of yourself, and all that is meaningful to you and which makes you human and unique.
Our passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. Whether you are experiencing relational difficulties and frustrations or feeling triggered by important others in your life or looking to go on a journey of self-discovery, we can help.
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-focused, Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, Solution-Focused and Narrative therapy to tailor therapy to you.
If you are looking for a Christian approach to professional counselling services, I would be pleased to work with you. I integrate faith, Scripture and prayer for those who request this.
I can provide you with highly effective therapy that is both grounded in evidence based research and grounded in biblical scripture (for all Christian denominations).
Your spirituality is an integral part of who you are. Are you wrestling with some of your Christian beliefs and values? We can integrate some of the theological principles that may lead to everyday life struggles and help you navigate through these spiritual concerns. We will explore the mind, body, and spirit, to help you gain self-awareness holistically. This includes attempting to build a secure attachment with God.
I am raised as a Christian and have read the bible cover to cover. I am open to explore all faiths as I feel that they have common spiritual roots. I have helped to apply biblical teachings to your life as well as helped people who feel damaged by the way biblical teachings have been used to hurt them.
I have professional and lived experience with Christian counselling; I understand the value system of spirituality and how this sometimes shapes who we are and how we show up in our daily lives.
For many Christians it can be beneficial to their success in therapy to have a therapist that holds an understanding and respect for their religious and spiritual beliefs.

The hurt that is felt is churches can hurt deeply, because of the contradictions involved, that of being a place of love and grace, yet experiencing excruciating pain; I can help with that. I can help you understand that "hurt people hurt people", and that most people in or out of churches are in pain. Call for a fifteen min. consultation.
