Christian Integration

There are as many forms of “Christian Counseling” as there are denominations of Christianity. Here’s my take:

Each of my counseling sessions are divine appointments where I help create a brave space to explore the harder things in life. I view my work as God’s work; I am simply joining in His larger plan of healing and transformation. I do not have all the answers, nor will I wield scripture as a tool to prove a point or emphasize a teaching. Instead, I consider my responsibility within the counseling space to abide in Christ, allowing Him to speak truth and offer healing through the work I do with my clients.

Exploring religion, God, and our questions can be difficult topics to approach, and so I do so with great gentleness. My clients determine how we explore the intersections of spirituality and faith within the therapy space. I particularly enjoy working with those navigating religious trauma, deconstruction and/or reconstruction, and questions of faith through seasons of suffering.

I believe that our pain can be transformed, and we can have a new understanding of the challenges we experience. My understanding of scripture is that Jesus longs to redeem, restore, and renew all the pain in our lives, making us whole, at peace, and able to walk in freedom, knowing ourselves, and in deeper connection with others and with Him.
