Knowing that humans are created for relationship and our sense of connection is consistently compromised by the pain and suffering found in this world, our therapeutic approach begins with experiencing safety in human connection.  We honor a client's autonomy and personhood by providing an environment that allows one to be felt, seen and understood.  

Humor, creativity, art, and music also play important roles in the process of connection and change. Because the relationship between counselor and client serves as a model for healthy interpersonal skill-building, the therapeutic relationship is deeply valued and motivational in creating desired change as defined by the client.

Counseling services are rendered by a Christian worldview. There is no expectation that a client shares the same beliefs; however, each client has the right to know the worldview of the counselor. 

Christianity teaches that we are created to be in relationship with God and one another, but because of the brokenness of our world, our frustrated longings for relationship often result in various emotional, psychological, relational, social, and physical problems. Many aspects of our fallen world contribute to these problems including historical, cultural, biological, psychosocial, personal, and emotional factors. 

If you feel uncomfortable with our approach, we can refer you to someone who might fit your expectations and needs better.
