Biblical and Christian Counseling in 34484: Oxford, FL.

Faith and spiritual connection can be a priceless support when going through tough times. I offer Christian and Spiritual counseling to help clients manage and work through a variety of psychological and emotional issues. The importance of honoring your faith and upholding your values can help manage the negative thought processes that sometimes overwhelm us and create more stress and depression. Learn how to embrace your faith during these times.

As a Christian and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor it is my desire to be a witness to others. Although this practice is not listed under Christian counseling and all denominations are welcomed, having a counselor who is a Christian can help to provide those with similar faiths to come together and use their faith in their healing process through counseling.

While I can offer a Christian perspective during our counseling sessions, let me be upfront in saying I am not a Biblical scholar. I do not have a degree in theology, and I am not a pastor. However, I have made the decision to follow the narrow path as best I can. I do accept Jesus Christ as my Lord. I am a member of a local church. In short, I am a Christian with training and experience in helping people through tough times. If you have any questions about my counseling style or my faith please feel free to ask.

As a certified pastoral counselor with sixteen years of experience, I meet the client where they are and integrate scripture and psychology as desired and appropriate for the client. Having earned a Master of Divinity degree and a master's degree in counseling and psychology I have a foundation for Christian counseling that the majority of other Christian therapists do not. I have also taught and supervised students in offering Christian counseling in multiple institutions while also serving as a pastor with specific responsibilities in the areas of pastoral care and counseling.

God promises that we can know the truth and the truth can set us free. This is the foundation for counseling. When clients have faith in God, that can be a wonderful resource for them in their healing journey. False beliefs can cause painful emotions and relational dysfunctions. Sometimes we need help understanding God's truths and how they apply to our lives. This is where a trained therapist who also has a strong faith can come alongside and help, combining the best of psychotherapy with Biblical truth.
