Christian Counseling

 

Providing in-person and online therapy services in Conyers, GA

You don’t know what else to do.

You feel like you’ve tried everything possible to change yourself or your relationship. It’s just hard. Too hard. You’ve attempted to do better or set better boundaries, but you feel guilty and exhausted when it doesn’t work. You’ve tried to ignore things or not say anything, but end up back in the same place … again. 

You’ve prayed. A LOT. But nothing is changing. You feel alone.  It seems like you keep going and going and wonder “is this it? Do I just have to live with it?” You question if you’re going crazy. You just want to feel confident in yourself or your relationship. 

You’re exhausted…

You can’t remember the last time you didn’t feel exhausted. Every day is rinse and repeat and you’re barely getting through. Work or home life used to be the place that you felt most confident, but even that has become overwhelming. Sometimes you do more to distract yourself and escape. Some days you only do the minimum so you can make it through the day.

You used to enjoy the life you lived, but it feels like things have become a burden. You try to talk to friends or family about it but they don’t really understand. Even people at church have told you just to have more faith or pray more. You wish it was that simple. You really do want to do the right thing. You long to feel as close to God as you once did.

Let’s find your joy and peace again!

Counseling might be something you’ve tried before. Or maybe this is a first for you. Either way, I want to take a moment to admire your bravery. I know, you’re probably thinking, “Bravery? Brave is the LAST thing I feel right now!” But it’s true. It takes a lot of courage to consider reaching out for help. I know. I was a counselor before I was a client. And the level of nervousness I felt going to that first appointment was shocking! I knew what to expect, and still… nervous! So, I get it. 

But like it did for me, taking the first step can lead you on a journey towards changing your life. It’s not selfish to work on yourself. Taking care of you is being a good steward of yourself and your relationships.

You CAN experience better peace of mind.

You CAN take care of yourself without feeling guilty.

You CAN feel accomplished at work or home again.

You CAN have more confidence in yourself, your decisions, and your relationships.

You CAN enjoy a more blanced life.

You CAN feel closer to God and others again.

 How I can help …

Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary, stiff, or solemn. It can give you a place to be yourself, a place to heal, a place to take care of yourself, while also incorporating spiritual values that are important to you. 

My approach to counseling is source focused. We’ll work to stabilize and manage the issues that bring you in, while exploring possible sources – the deeper reasons why these problems continue to appear. My philosophy is that most on-going problems have beliefs or behaviors rooted in childhood attachment issues or other adverse experiences. 

I provide a collaborative environment to help you get to the root of the problem, while also learning tools to manage day-to-day. I’ll help you make sense of what is going on and why. Over time in therapy, we'll work towards your increased confidence, changes in your relationships with others, and spiritual growth. 

I’ve worked with those struggling with life circumstances, painful experiences, and relationship issues for over ten years. My process is highly relational. I provide a plan and a path we can walk together, but also incorporate humor and encouragement in our sessions. Lastly, we'll meet weekly so that we can see progress as quickly as possible.

FAQs related to Christian Counseling

  • A: The length of counseling is different for every person. It depends on your needs, issues, and goals. My clients usually come to me because they are overwhelmed. They’ve been trying to manage on their own for a while and it’s just not working. Because of this, I tend to use a deeper therapy process. One that not only addresses issues you come in with, but explores underlying reasons for why you are struggling. Clients typically spend anywhere from six months to a year and a half in therapy with me. That being said, part of our first session will be spent talking about your specific goals and setting expectations together!

  • A: There are a lot of different ways to incorporate Christian principles into counseling. Some Christian counselors are pastoral counselors, some are Biblical Counselors with a certification, and others are state licensed. I am a state licensed professional counselor with a specialty in Christian Counseling. This means I have training in psychology, including human behavior, neurobiology, development, attachment, etc. In order to provide Christian Counseling, I've had specific training on how to integrate a Christian worldview and theological principles with psychological information to help clients who want specifically Christian therapy.

  • A: Couples counseling is not a service I currently provide. I do work closely with several wonderful couples counselors and can provide you with a referral.
