No matter how much a client may know about the Bible, knowledge about what the Bible says is in itself often not helpful. Instead of being God's story about His attempts to redeem His people it is often seen as a rule book one must live up to to be right with God creating a performance based way of living often resulting in guilt and loss of freedom and joy. As a Christ-centered counselor, I believe Jesus is the Center of all things and the Way to the Truth that leads to Life. I believe that one's life struggles can be a way of drawing one deeper into relationship with God where there is true security and purpose. Sinful strategies to make life work must be identified and turned from.

Is a Christian Counseling perspective important to you in therapy? As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, over the last 15 years I’ve been blessed to help hundreds of men find hope and healing using both psychological and Biblical principles. I believe that Christ is the ultimate source of hope and healing in this life. But I also believe that he’s given us the gift of rational minds, able to discern scientific and psychological truths built into the fabric of His amazing creation. My approach is grounded firmly in Scripture, but I don’t use Scripture as a weapon. You don’t need more guilt, but rather, a reminder of God’s promises and a compassionate guide to support you.
