I have been practicing mental health counseling for 10 years in the Burien area and I am passionate about seeing people's hearts change through the word and truth of the gospel. One of the areas of counseling I love working in is around relationships and family dynamics. I believe relationships are critical to our functioning and when there is a deficit in our relational lives, it can result in anxiety or depression.
I am a Christian and as such, my faith in Christ does inform how I see mental health issues. I believe that true healing comes from the person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus invites us in Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
It is the grace of God that he allows us to understand our own psyche through psychology and counseling and it we are invited by Christ to cast all our burdens and worries on him. My goals are to walk with you and hear your story. To understand your specific pain and show that Christ is very much relevant to your financial problems, your marital dysfunction, your pornography addiction, your substance dependence, the abuse you incurred as a young child, the neglect you feel from family and friends, your selfishness, bitterness, resentment and pride. Biblical counseling offers much more than just behavior modification, with short-term solutions; it offers an opportunity to be known in vertical relationship with Lord God King Jesus. And that is healing.
