Welcome
There are many reasons that people seek counseling. Some seek help for changing deeply painful patterns. Others, though not in great distress, would still like help growing in the places where they feel stuck. Wherever you are on the spectrum, our goal is to help you achieve the degree of wellness that you desire.
While we believe that counseling can help virtually everyone, we know that it can feel vulnerable to seek counseling. It is normal to have mixed feelings about asking for help. We know this vulnerability because we too have places in our lives where we seek help from others. It can take a lot of courage to invite someone to help you in the places you feel stuck.
As you come to our website, you may have a lot of questions: Will counseling really help? What will counseling be like? Will I feel comfortable with the counselor? While we hope you will find the information on our website helpful, some of these questions are best answered face to face. That is why we offer potential clients a trial session at half-price.
Get to Know Us
Our Approach: Our unique style of counseling is based on a Neurobiological Approach with a Relational Emphasis from a Christian Perspective. While we are informed by Christian views, we are respectful of other views. Clients from all faith and non-faith backgrounds are welcome: discussion of religious topics is at the discretion of each client. Additionally, all of our counseling is undergirded by our understanding of personality types (or temperaments). Our desire is to help each person we work with become more fully whoever they are meant to be.
