I integrate the best that psychology has with the best that theology offers to help hurting people of all beliefs.  I do not impose my Christian beliefs but tell people that I offer Christian counseling so they can make an informed decision about the counseling services they need.

The model of counseling I use treats the whole person and integrates the domains of psychology and theology. I call this model the ‘B.E.S.T.’ Model.  The ‘B.E.S.T.’ Model addresses the whole person that God has created us to be which encompasses our Body, Emotions, Spirit, and Thoughts, illustrated in the four intersecting circles below. 

Our behavior originates from the dynamic of these entities as illustrated by the intersecting circles.  When we live our lives as though our Body, Emotions, Spirit, and Thoughts are separate, we live life disconnected from God, ourselves, and others, causing our behaviors to be imbalanced and somewhat compulsive.  We also experience little or no intimacy in our relationships.  When God is our center, as illustrated by the cross, our behaviors become more balanced.  My hope is to help my clients connect these areas of their lives to experience a more balanced and connected life and deeper intimate relationships.
