The fact is no person is an island. Can you think of a world without others? There is no survival in living with others. To live with others, we must exercise compassion, love and generosity towards other people. Almost the people considered to great have preached and acted on the word of giving oneself to others, servant leadership, forgiveness, caring and love your neighbour as you love yourself. For example, think or the nature of life itself, the life of Jesus or Paul and others: these people gave their lives to others. I believe if we strive to give and share with others, the world becomes a better place.

My approach to Christian and Biblical counselling is tailored to your preference for how much Christianity and the Bible shows up in the counselling room. For some, this might just involve considering your Christian background in the process of assessment and healing. For others, this might mean integrating secular models of counselling with Biblical principles. For those who emphasize the sufficiency of Scripture of for faith and life, our sessions can be entirely based on exploring what the Bible says about your circumstances.

As someone who was raised Catholic, studied many different religions over their lifetime, and has a strong sense of faith, I am able to provide a non-judgmental space for Christians (as well as Muslims, and others) to share their spiritual experiences.

If you're looking for a counsellor who values faith over dogma, I invite you to reach out for a free consult.

Christian and Faith-based counselors from our Downtown Edmonton office provide psychological support and counseling services to our clients.

The Lord has created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not disparage them.” - Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-4
