Changing Thoughts and Transforming Lives
Have you ever suspected that the way you think negatively impacts your emotions, how you act, and how you feel? That if you could just think differently certain problems you experience would be less intense or unnoticeable? Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) could be the intervention that helps you improve your thought patterns.
CBT is an intervention that assumes that one’s thoughts influence their behavioral, emotional, and physiological experience. CBT aims to help individuals identify problematic thoughts and explore ways that they can challenge and change those thoughts to influence more positive behavioral, emotional, and physiological experiences.
CBT is particularly effective for:
— Anxiety
— Depression
— Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
— Behavioral Issues

Working Through Trauma Toward Restoration
Have you wanted to quickly work through issues that have been intense and bothersome for some time? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) could be the intervention that you have been looking for.
EMDR is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals reprocess traumatic memories and adverse life experiences to reduce their lasting cognitive, emotional, and physiological impact. Rather than requiring you to talk through every detail of difficult experiences, EMDR works with the brain's natural healing processes.
By doing bilateral stimulation while focusing on the problem that you are addressing, the brain is able to reprocess information that has become “stuck”. When this information becomes “unstuck” the problems you experience go away or become noticeably less intense.
EMDR can help with:
— Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD)
— Adverse Experiences
— Anxiety
— Depression

Christian-Integrated Counseling
Are you a Christian who has been experiencing challenges with your faith? Maybe you’re having doubts about certain aspects of faith or having difficulty living out biblical principles. Perhaps you are looking for counseling that incorporates objective truth found in the Christian religion. Christian counseling could be what you are looking for.
I offer counseling that integrates Christian faith with evidence-based therapeutic practices, honoring both your spiritual life and your emotional wellbeing. Genuine healing involves the whole person; mind, body, and spirit and I believe that theology and psychology need not stand at odds.
Christian counseling can help with:
— Addressing a crisis of faith
— Dealing with sin
— Navigating life’s challenges from a Christian worldview
— Identifying ways to grow in faith
