When relationships get stuck in an unproductive pattern it is usually because people are reacting to the hurt rather than responding in ways that can solve problems. As a marriage and family therapist I specialize in helping people find strength based solutions to address the challenges of managing relationships. The systemic approach focuses on the interactions of people (families, groups, communities) more than individual symptoms; however, this approach is beneficial when working with groups, families, couples, and individuals.
As a marriage and family therapist, I specialize in working with and understanding the problems of families and couples, but I also work with individuals and groups because relationship challenges are pervasive, and no one lives in a vacuum. Using my training, life experiences and these avenues of therapy, I can help you find ways to address your challenges.
In addition to my training as a therapist, I am also an elder/pastor in my congregation and a former aerospace engineer. My theoretical training in family therapy is enhanced with my biblical knowledge and professional and personal experiences. While these aspects of my life do shape my worldview, they can be used to bring additional assurance to those whose moral compass is guided by biblical principles or those who favor an analytical/theoretical approach.
