Basic Beliefs

“I believe God created each of us to be in relationship with Him.  Evil entered the world through sin and is at war with the good that God created.  Our lives are lived in the tension between the good of God and the evil in this world.  What God designed for good the enemy often uses to kill, steal, and destroy.  We live in a fallen and broken world therefore, we often experience hurts and trauma that the enemy wishes to use to destroy our lives.  I believe God can redeem even the worst hurt and brokenness in our lives and create beauty. God uses healthy relationships to help overcome these hurts, one such relationship being therapy.  In my approach to therapy I consider the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, to walk with you on the road to redemption and healing, seeking to discover the beauty that God has in store for your life.” – Kali
