As a practitioner of ACT, I integrate my clients' faith into their treatment. Faith is essential to improving mental health. To ignore it, a therapist must try to divide the human psyche rather than viewing it as a whole. If you'd like to learn more about the importance of faith in therapy and how it makes ACT effective, read my newest blog here:

Community: A Struggle to Fit

Community: A Struggle to Fit

When it comes to community in the church, many people feel like onlookers. For many, deep fellowship seems far off. Some feel excluded because they “do not fit in,” and others are unsure how to engage. In the church of Jesus, this should not be. All believers should feel welcome and invited to b...

Speaking Truth in Marital Conflict

“You always prioritize work over me.” “You never take my feelings into consideration.” “Your only concern is your own comfort.” Here is a universal rule for marriage counselors: don’t allow couples to speak to each other in absolutes. We know that when couples use words like always, ne...

The Power of Kindness

The Power of Kindness

Kindness is one of the few things that will gentle the response of others. Teach kids how to show kindness to others. Were you ever bullied on the playground? Or called names by the neighbor kid? Do you have an annoying co-worker? A friend who pushes your buttons? When I was a kid, my mom would admo...

Reminding Christians of the Gospel

Through biblical counseling, we have the privilege to share the gospel with non-Christians and Christians. Why would a Christian need to hear the gospel? Once saved, always saved, right? It’s true that God’s power will guard the faith of believers and that believers will persevere in their faith...

Finishing Faithfully

Not all of us know when we are nearing the end of our lives in the same way Moses did, but the reality is, not one of us is guaranteed tomorrow. So in some sense, there is wisdom in living every day with the intention of finishing faithfully. Moses served the Lord unwaveringly for 40 years, leading....

Living with the Tension of Uncertainty

For years I heard Christians talk about living by faith. I did not really grasp how to do that in my daily life until I heard Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest, talk about this issue. He suggested that many Christians do not live by faith because they have no patience for not knowing and no toleranc...

Inviting God into the Hard Places

We say “life is hard,” and everyone nods in support. It is a common truism, a well-accepted reality we all can affirm. The political climate, the cultural tone, work pressures, personal and relational stress—all of these contribute. People are anxious, overwhelmed, divided, polarized, and wear...
