How How We Love principles are incorporated

Attachment based principles are lenses through which I view difficulties in all relationships in the lives of my clients. God created us with a need for being in relationship with Him and others, yet we see the brokenness of the Fall all around us. I work to introduce my clients to the possibility of their formative years in childhood impacting how they are currently functioning. We explore how continuing to work in those patterns is keeping them stuck, and how to begin to make changes by viewing their responses through a different lens than what they may have done in the past. Whether I’m working with an individual or a couple, we discover new ways to view ourselves in relationship with others and God.
