I am a Christian, and I am very comfortable sharing that information with others. Although I may not agree with the specific beliefs of a particular form of Christianity, I do not believe that it is appropriate for me to judge, and I am accepting of differences. I am able to discuss the impact of our beliefs on our behavior; I am also able to encourage the use of our beliefs as a form of support.

I am a Christian and I can help a client take a biblical approach to counseling as I believe that God wants us to live life to the fullest. Frequently people feel guilty or sinful for wanting more out of life and I offer the proposition that life is to be savored and enjoyed and that one can be happy in their faith in God. I will pray with my clients if they wish.

I don't think of myself as a Christian Counselor. I have no degrees in divinity. I have read parts, but not all, of the Bible. If you are like me, you search for truth and meaning in your life. You ask yourself, "What does God want me to do?" What if God wants you to do what YOUR heart tells you to do? It seems to me that the real question for Christians is "Do I believe that God has my back?" That is what I struggle with. No matter how much evidence I see in my own life that God is present, I get fearful. I'm afraid God will let me down. If that fear invades your mind too, then maybe we can talk it out. What I know is that psychology and the mind are only half the truth. The other half is the spirit and faith.

As a Christ-follower I understand the role spirituality plays in all dimensions of life. In fact, one of my favorite verses contains these words of Christ, "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." (John 10:10) In order to have a full life it takes work on God's part and ours. God's virtues of grace, mercy, and unconditional love are powerful motivators for transformation. As we embrace these virtues, God empowers us to live a full life. I offer Christian counseling to individuals, couples, and/or families who value their relationship with Christ and understand that he plays a primary role in the change they seek.

At Polaris, we understand how important it is for you to be counseled in a Christian setting that works with your beliefs and values.  As our client, you have the option of working with one of our trained Christian counseling professionals.

Our Christian counselors carefully utilize these insights as they are in harmony with the foundational teachings of the Bible.

As a practicing Jew I am able to offer counseling services that will align with the practice of Judaism. I am quite aware of the needs of the Orthodox community and of the importance of the concept of shalom bayis. I will help you restore that feeling through the use of standard counseling techniques. This is best done in an office situation, although it can begin online or via the telephone.

Ultimate healing comes from God. He is the God of all peace and understanding. Our trained therapists would like to help you with whatever issue you have from a Christian perspective. We aren't going to push an agenda down your throat. We practice balancing grace and truth. God's word is the ultimate authority and has great wisdom when it comes to healing and relationships. Let walk with you as you find healing with God, yourself and your relationships.

I strive to meet clients where they are at in their faith journey, and incorporate solid Biblically based principles into the therapy process. In addition to referencing the Bible, I also recommend books and materials that are also helpful to meeting my clients needs written by Christian authors who also apply Biblical principles in their works. Prayer and spiritual growth are also incorporated into the counseling as well.

Faith and a belief in God (or higher power) is important to many individuals who may be struggling in their lives. I provide counseling integrated to those for whom faith is important. In getting relief and healing from the stresses, fears, trauma or pain in your life, integration of your beliefs are a strength I can bring to counseling. I provide services to individual of Christian, Catholic, Orthodox Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu faith traditions.

Offering support and counseling under the guidance of Christ's word, your therapist will work with you to connect the principals in the bible with your personal life. You'll benefit from a reduction of symptoms, and a renewed relationship with Jesus and yourself. I believe that by allowing ourselves to ask Christ to help us with our problems, combined with spiritually focused, problem solving counseling, you can begin to find a renewed sense of purpose, spirituality and inner happiness.

I help individuals work through the shame and guilt that can come as a result of conservative religious upbringings. I show how you can be released from this guilt and shame and be freed up to experience life in a much lighter and freer way. You will experience true self acceptance and an understanding of how you can live your life the way it was designed to be lived which will give you an increasing sense of hope.
