I believe that people do the best that they can with what they have in life. This means that when people are struggling and experiencing hard times, it is because they need help and resources from someone else in order to be able to achieve increased health and happiness. People are formed by the people and experiences that occur around them while growing up in life. Understanding how these things impact a person can give the person awareness in order to be able to decide what type of person he or she wants to be. While these people and experiences help to form a person, they do not have to define who he or she will be in the future.

I come from a Christian perspective in both my personal and professional life, so I provide treatment from a Christ-centered perspective. This means that it informs how I view and understand people and how I interact with them. However, it does not mean that I work exclusively with people from a Christian background or that I preach to people in therapy sessions. I have had great success and positive interactions with clients from all types of spiritual and religious backgrounds, and my own Christian perspective can be as explicit or not as clients are comfortable with in sessions.
