Are you having trouble with your family, children, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, workplace stress, depression or anxiety?   Perhaps you are preparing for marriage, repairing an important relationship, or considering career options.  Pastoral counseling can help you to look deeply into your family experiences, spiritual and religious beliefs and find resolution and peace.   By integrating a thorough understanding of God's Word with developed and proven counseling methods and techniques, we will work together to help you overcome your difficulties.

Counseling and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably but really mean different things. Counseling is guidance that helps you to rethink your problems in a different light.  Counseling addresses beliefs that keep us stuck. Psychotherapy literally heals your soul.

Counseling and psychotherapy look deeply into our family background, our spiritual and religious beliefs and how and why we view and experience our lives through upbringing, experience and temperament.  Both of these methods are helpful to our evolution and problem solving. 

As we work with you, we may involve one or both of these approaches depending on the problems and goals you present.  We need to remember that insight does not necessarily lead to change although it can provide some relief to understand the manner in which we think, believe and act.  Change comes when we think creatively and take appropriate action to make changes.
