I specialize in Christian counseling and received my Master's of Arts in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary.

Counseling office in Manassas, VA

In my work with adults struggling with career, relationship, or self esteem/depression/anxiety issues, I use a variety of counseling techniques, most often cognitive-behavioral. We talk often about thinking patterns and how our thinking affects our actions. We practice identifying negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. I often recommend books or workbooks that help clarify and reinforce coping skills and techniques addressed in counseling. I ask most clients to complete assessment tools, including those that measure depression, anxiety, and anger levels, or career interest inventories or personality tests if appropriate.

Many clients see results in 10-12 counseling sessions, however most choose to continue therapy for up to a year or more as they identify their strengths, make positive life changes, set boundaries, improve communication skills, and strengthen their organizational and decision-making skills.
