Biblical and Christian Counseling in 55386: Victoria, MN.

I am a Christian and as a Christian all of my therapy will be guided by Christ. If you would like to pray during therapy and utilize God’ s Word I would be honored to do so with you. I utilize a variety of psychotherapy tools to meet the needs of the individual or family. Psychotherapy helps people to: ~Understand behaviors, emotions and ideas that may contribute to the problem and learn how to modify them ~Understand and identify events or life problems –like loss of a job, divorce, problems at school, a major illness, death or divorce- that contribute to your problems and help you understand those aspects you have the ability to solve or improve. ~Learn coping techniques and problem-solving ....

Our Christian beliefs can provide a source of hope and direction in our lives. Often we can forget this strong and powerful resource in our busy lives or during difficult times. Maybe you have gotten complacent in your relationship with God. Our therapists can incorporate your faith into the counseling process to help you live a life with less suffering and more joy. We offer online counseling, delivered to you wherever you are. You can self-register and self-schedule at mnonlinecounseling.com.

Are you desiring a Biblical and authentic approach toward your current challenges? Are you struggling to find God in your life? Do you want to be challenged toward deeper growth in a personal relationship with Jesus? I can help guide you toward a greater passion and focus on your identity in Him. I offer a compassionate but intentional approach to counseling.

If you identify yourself as a person of Christian faith, I will integrate lessons from the Bible as we look at what's going on in your life. Jesus had lots to say on our relationships with others and with our Father. When both of these are happening in our lives, we feel peace and harmony. I will help you explore where God's Word can give you direction and will pray with you and for you.

I am a practicing Christian and ascribe to the values of my faith. I work with clients of all religious affiliations, and walks of life, and respect our differences. During each intake session, I assess my client's religious preference and desire to incorporate their faith or spirituality into our therapy work. I am open to prayer, talking about God, or other ways to incorporate your spirituality or Christian Faith into therapy.

When a couple desires it, I can draw on my several decades of pastoral work and theological education to help them with their family and marital problems. I hold a Masters of Divinity from Regent College and before being licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I pastored churches in New York and Texas and served as Campus Ministry staff in Wisconsin. In my experience, I see that Christians experiences the same relational pain and sorrow as everyone else, but frequently unavail themselves of the resources their faith provides. I can help.

Our spirituality/religious beliefs can be a wonderful resource for people to utilize. Often times in times of distress we can neglect our spiritual side. We look to incorporate an individual's beliefs to help solve problems in their life and enhance their spirituality. Therapy can explore dealing with our doubts, possible anger towards God. We seek to help remind clients of the value that their religion may bring them.

The first thing you should know about me is that I am a Christian and that I believe that the Bible is the word of God. Hebrews Chapter 4 and verse 12 says that "...the word of God is living and active..." I believe that this verse is true and help Bible believing Christians understand not only what the Bible says but what it will mean for them to line up their life in accord with it. I do not use the Bible as a weapon but as a gentle guide as I remind people not only about the promises, and power of God but the requirements He has for us. I pray with people and lavish encouragement. Furthermore I give concrete and practical homework so that progress can be made most rapidly.

Your faith is your source of strength yet life can still be overwhelming. I will help you deal with the emotional and behavioral issues that may be troubling you so you can live your life in harmony with your values and faith. My approach is to work within the structure of your particular beliefs and draw upon Biblical truth as it presents itself. Please don't delay any longer, call today for consultation.

Where do you turn when you are in need of some balance, guidance, reassurance, or understanding? Some have close friends they can confide in. Others are fortunate enough to have helpful family members. We can often forget that our spirituality may be our biggest resource. For those clients who desire it, we have licensed counselors who can help explore whether your spiritual faith and practices might be a resource for you, your marriage, or your family.
