Can you help me?

Your story is sacred and the key to unlocking what causes distress. I will teach you tools that will explain why you do what you do.

Let me help you repair past hurts, understand your feelings, identify negative relational patterns, then replace them with positive ones, and grow in Christlike spiritual maturity.

I have successfully helped people through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family of origin issues, pornography addiction, trauma, race-related issues, church hurt/abuse, or grief.

Many people have difficulty acknowledging their feelings, understanding the goals of their unwanted behavior, exploring childhood pain, and making meaning out of their stories. Together we can work toward building structure and accountability, and increase your awareness of the growth you are experiencing that you may at times forget to acknowledge.

Services currently available in Florida and Georgia.

Do you need help with communication?

Are you tired of the same arguments or behavior over and over again?

For most couples, communication is critical. I have helped others like you to recognize dysfunctional communication patterns, replace negative beliefs about themselves and their partner, and biblically realign their relationship.

For others, the pain and heartbreak of betrayal might seem like the end. But there can be hope with infidelity recovery through a commitment to doing the difficult work that leads to a new marriage.

The assessment is a 15-page Report, packed with practical and personalized insights, making it the world’s most powerful pre-marriage tool. The number of premarital sessions can be decided with the facilitator and have an average of 4-8 meetings.

The SYMBIS report begins with as assessment of the marriage momentum which is an aggregate measure of the couple’s responses. This is based on the four main sections of the assessment: Mindset, Wellbeing, Context, and Dynamics.

The assessment is straight-forward. Once you go through the assessment with your facilitator you will be able to reflect on it without confusing symbols, language, or constructs seen in other assessments. There is also an optional workbook that can be purchased that can enhance the experience with thoughtful exercises and additional questions.

Scientific research has established EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as effective for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, stress, sexual and physical abuse, disturbing memories, complicated grief, addictions, chronic pain, and migraines.

Some clients can experience relief or positive effects in just a few sessions.

EMDR is a simple, efficient form of therapy utilizing Bilateral Stimulation (BLS)- usually in the form of eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones in order to accelerate the brain’s capacity to process and heal a troubling memory, thought, feeling, phobia, etc.

BLS stimulates the same eye movements which occur during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) or dream sleep.

BLS causes two parts of the brain to work in conjunction in order to reintegrate a memory.

Available in Florida and Georgia.
