My ideal client is one who knows they are in need of help and are eager to take an active role in their own counseling. I encourage clients to journal, in session and after the session, to make their own record of issues covered, directions that emerged from the counseling session, to journal thoughts and feelings between sessions, and to list issues and questions to address in their next session. For counseling clients, my goal is to help them effectively and efficiently to resolve the issues that brought them into counseling. For coaching clients, my goal is to assist them to achieve excellence in the area of their choosing.
I integrate good psychology with Christian beliefs and practices. I pray for my clients at the conclusion of the counseling session and incorporate scripture when appropriate. As a Christian counselor, I believe that we have the power to change ourselves - with God's help and with the support and guidance of an empathetic, effective Christian counselor.
I freely reveal to clients, when appropriate, that I've "sat in the other chair" in front of several counselors - some extremely helpful, one really awful! My goal is to be one of the former! As one who has sought out counseling and benefited from it, I have a great deal of empathy for clients who are struggling in life and faith in counseling to help.
