Every person is uniquely created and then molded by their life experiences. For this reason, I utilize an integrative and flexible approach to counseling that aims to discover and implement the most effective treatment plan for each individual based on their unique goals, worldview, and personality. Some clients may be seeking to bring Scripture and prayer into sessions through Christian Integrative Counseling while others may benefit best from a secular approach or EMDR. Dating or married couples can benefit from personalized counseling plans tailored to their unique strengths and growth areas.

There are things that can impact our ability to help our them.
