"I was trained in a psychodynamic approach to therapy, which means that the past profoundly affects how you see the present. Past experience is the lens through which you look at the whole of life. I have also been deeply influenced with a pastoral approach to therapy. This has opened the door for my style of counseling which includes numerous principles of Grace."
