My Christian Faith and My Professional Practice
My faith is an important part of what helps me in my own journey of growth and an important base that grounds me. Since I was a child, I have always been drawn to the work of healing others. Helping others is an important way that I live my faith. My focus as a therapist is to support you on the journey of healing and allowing your faith to be utilized in the treatment as it makes sense and purpose for you.
My professional training is in somatic psychology. Simply put I always understood that people cannot be broken up into pieces. When I pursued my training in utilizing a holistic approach that focused on the body and spirit as much as the mind it was considered a radical approach to helping others. Scientific research has since validated this approach and in fact is now recommended as "best practices" for treating trauma, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and addiction.
