I am a Christian therapist who feels that a person's spiritual beliefs are a strong factor for emotional healing. I want to guide you in developing a life filled with peace of mind & self-confidence.
I received my MA in Mental Health at the Univ. of S. FL. I have six years' experience counseling adolescents & the geriatrics populations.
I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients learn problem-solving skills, to replace dysfunctional behavioral patterns & addictions. I encourage the use of Biblical principles for developing tools to guide clients as the best method for dealing with issues. I employ the use of Mindfulness-based techniques to encourage clients to use their own natural strengths, to help them manage their thoughts, feelings, & body sensations.
I believe it is important to create a powerful therapeutic bond with clients. Then we will develop a treatment plan together emphasizing the unique qualities & gifts you have within you. A goal you will have will be to gain confidence to respond to feelings of helplessness, when confronted with past traumatic experiences. I encourage clients to implement lifestyle changes, that will result in their feeling, functioning, & thinking better.
