How is your counseling "Christian-based?"
Any counseling principal or technique that works is either mentioned directly in the Bible or illustrated by a biblical story. For those who want Christian counseling, I may mention a scripture or a Bible story in order to illustrate a relevant point. I feel comfortable in praying with clients and I believe that God answers prayer! With people who don’t want Christian-based counseling, I still draw from my favorite counseling models without mentioning God. I was the director of counseling at two large churches in Tucson and have learned that the Bible and common sense principles of human behavior do not contradict each other.
What kind of issues do you like to work with the most?
Almost all kinds! Half of the counseling I do is with couples and the other half is with individuals. I love it all! Typical issues with couples are communication problems, not knowing how to build the relationship satisfaction, intimacy issues, and problems with extended family members. Individual counseling issues typically include anxiety, panic, depression, trauma from childhood or adulthood, trauma from dysfunctional churches or work situations, attachment issues, and many other issues. I will sometimes refer individuals elsewhere when appropriate.
Can you give me clear directions to get to your office?
Go to the northwest corner of Ina Rd. and La Cholla Blvd. My office is in the two-story building on that corner. Walk to the east side of the building. Where you see the “Lobby” sign, walk through those glass doors. Take the elevator to the second floor and take a sharp left. Walk through the glass doors to the lobby, have a seat, and I’ll meet you there.
