🟦 Christian Counseling and Psychotherapy

Experience deep, lasting healing through faith-based therapy that gets to the root.

✝️ Why Choose Christian Counseling?

You shouldn't have to check your beliefs at the door when you begin therapy.
If you’re a Christian seeking help, your faith and values deserve to be respected—not ignored or overridden. Too many have felt unheard or even spiritually invalidated by secular therapists.

At HealMyLife, you’ll find a compassionate, respectful, and Christ-centered environment where you can explore emotional pain, unhealthy patterns, and spiritual questions through the lens of faith.

🧠 How Christian Psychotherapy Helps

Christian psychotherapy combines the best of evidence-based counseling with the healing truth and love of God.
It focuses on core beliefs—the deeply held thoughts that shape our emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

🔎 Therapy That Gets to the Root

The most effective therapy addresses core beliefs and active memories—the places where pain and false identity first formed. That’s why my approach includes:

🔄 Christian Listening Prayer Therapy
Brings painful memories and core beliefs into God’s presence. Clients listen for God’s truth in a safe, prayerful space. Leads to fast and lasting healing by transforming the belief at its root. Aligned with neuroscience research on emotional memory and belief change.

🌿 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Uses bilateral stimulation to access and reprocess trauma. Helps the brain rewire false beliefs connected to painful memories. Often used in Christian therapy for deep trauma healing

🧩 Why Core Beliefs Matter
Both Christian Listening Prayer Therapy and EMDR focus on healing the emotional core—the beliefs formed in pain and stored in memory.

These aren't just thoughts—they're deeply rooted convictions about your identity, your worth, and your safety. When these beliefs are transformed, your emotions, habits, and relationships heal too.

🌟 What to Expect from Christian Counseling
A safe space to discuss faith, spirituality, and prayer. Healing that aligns with your Christian worldview. Evidence-based and spiritually grounded methods.The healing power of God’s truth and love. However, if you expect instant, quick resolution of lifelong patterns laid down in childhood, you may experience disappointment.

When we invite God into therapy, change becomes deeper and more permanent. That’s why Christian counseling can be one of the most effective paths to healing. For alternative therapist check out the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

  My methods focus on feelings following Emotionally Focused Therapy. I deal with healing of traumatic and other memories using EMDR and listening prayer. I identify personality patterns as in Schema Therapy. I am familiar with memory reconsolidation research which helps me provide safe and permanent healing. For those in Christian counselling, I begin and end sessions with prayer. However, I avoid methods in deliverance that focus on and bind demons and believe it is more effective to heal memories and then use much safer gentle deliverance.
