There are many benefits to seeing a Christian Counselor. Christians have found that Christian counseling is more consistent with their beliefs than secular counseling. Working with a Christian Counselor, there is no need to explain the nuances of your faith. A Christian counselor understands the power of prayer and the active presence of the Holy Spirit. Christian counseling ministers to the whole person, spirit, soul, and body.

For many people, faith is an important part of their lives and their decisions are often informed by their understanding of Scripture. Unless we're willing to discuss religious beliefs, we may remain stuck. I'm comfortable having conversations about religious beliefs. I have a BA in Theology and serve as a lay pastor on the side where I preach sermons. With that being said, be wary of anyone who claims to speak *for* God or knows the "Biblical" thing to do. I consider myself a "Christian counselor" rather than a "Biblical counselor" because I usually do not quote the Bible in counseling unless you ask for something specific because I think it's too often abused. I do not replace the Spirit.

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus states “If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.” This simple statement guides my approach to counseling. The light exists, and we sometimes need help to improve the soundness of our mental and emotional “eyes” to let more light into our personal awareness and influence our feelings, thoughts and behavior. I respect the sacred and unique way that each person experiences a relationship with God, especially during periods of mental, emotional, or relational distress. From my own study of the Bible, I am continually impressed by the applicability of Christian values and truth to issues of mental, emotional, and relational health.

As a Christian, I can work with you on your life issues through the lens of your relationship to God and Christ. I truly feel that my personal spiritual beliefs in no way hinder me from working with any client; on the contrary, I know that my spirituality is a key component of who I am as a person and thus as a therapist. If you are a Christian looking for a therapist who speaks your language and is accepting of your Bible-based faith, I would be happy to speak with you.
