I provide counseling from a Christian perspective to couples, individuals, and families. My goal is to utilize biblical principles to help clients overcome marital struggles, communication and blended family issues, and improve parenting skills.
My specialty is working with couples to help them rediscover the love and harmony they had at first. Most couples who come in for marriage counseling have lost focus on what Scripture tells us about how and husband and wife are supposed to relate to one another. Typically, the wife becomes disrespectful toward the husband when she feels her needs are not met. This disrespect causes the husband to distance himself or become harsh with his wife. The wife’s usual response to his pulling away is to be even more disrespectful and the two become caught up in a negative feedback loop from which they can’t seem to escape. Dr. Emerson Eggerichs calls ths the “Crazy Cycle” (in his book, LOVE AND RESPECT) and it truly seems that this crazy cycle is indeed at the heart of most of the “issues” that bring couples in for counseling. The good news is that there is a way out that is clearly spelled out in Scripture and implementing these principles almost always produces positive results relatively quickly.
I also work with individuals suffering from anxiety and depression. Please visit my website for additional information at: scvfamilycounseling.com
