Helping Hands
Ideals

Christina practices counseling from a faith based and biblical approach to the degree that each client determines. Meaning, we support our clients to choose the level at which their sessions include spiritual matters for their own personal growth and faith views without imposing our own specific spiritual views. We offer Christian counseling for couples, families, and individuals through the utilization of a biblical approach to interpreting, understanding, and addressing challenges that life brings. Our mission in the Christian counseling approach, should a client choose, is to be loving, compassionate, and honest, like Christ, while also supporting clients’ relationship with God. We believe in the research and wisdom psychological and social studies have to offer while also measuring it all against the wisdom within scripture.
