Statement of Faith

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, my practice is grounded in a Biblical worldview, which profoundly acknowledges the concept of Imago Dei - the belief that all humans are created in the image of God. This foundational truth informs my approach to counseling in the following ways:

Imago Dei - The Image of God: I believe that every person is created in the image of God (Imago Dei), which endows each individual with inherent dignity, worth, and value. This belief is central to my counseling approach, where I strive to honor and respect the divine image in every client.

Authority of Scripture: The Bible, as God's inspired Word, is a vital resource in my practice. It offers guidance and principles that inform my approach, providing a framework for understanding human nature, challenges, and the journey towards healing.

Humanity's Condition and Redemption: While recognizing the impact of sin on human life, I also emphasize the potential for redemption and restoration through Christ. This perspective is integral to addressing the psychological, emotional, and spiritual challenges faced by clients.

Integrating Faith and Healing: I believe in the holistic integration of spiritual and psychological health. Healing and wholeness are pursued through the lens of Christian faith, acknowledging the role of spiritual wellbeing in overall mental health.

The Role of Prayer: Consistent with my belief in the power of prayer, I incorporate this practice into my counseling as appropriate and with the consent of my clients. Prayer is a means of seeking divine guidance, comfort, and intervention in the healing process.

Community and Support: Emphasizing the importance of Christian community, I encourage clients to engage with a body of believers for support, growth, and accountability. The church can play a crucial role in an individual's healing and spiritual journey.

Respect for Individual Beliefs: While my counseling is rooted in Christian principles, I respect the diverse beliefs and values of all clients. For those who choose not to include faith elements in their counseling, I provide ethical, professional care tailored to their unique needs and perspectives.

Professional Excellence and Integration: Committed to the highest standards of my profession, I continually seek to integrate the best practices in counseling with biblical truths. This commitment ensures that the care I provide is both effective and respectful of my faith principles.

In conclusion, my counseling practice is a space where the psychological and spiritual dimensions of a person's experience are valued and addressed, with a deep respect for the Imago Dei in each individual. I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients, offering them compassionate, respectful, and professional care.
