Renovation Biblical Counseling, PLLC

Renovation Biblical Counseling, PLLC Christ-centered Christian Counseling for adults, teens, couples, families, and groups.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and EMDR therapist providing counseling and therapeutic intervention from a Biblical perspective. My office is located in Lakewood, Washington, near the Lakewood Towne Center. I am trained to work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and groups. Although I work with depression, anxiety, and a wide variety of life challenges, my specialties are marital counseling, trauma, eating disorders, substance abuse and addiction, blended families, and spiritual development. My focus areas are motivated from life experiences that I have dealt with personally or in relationship with a loved one, therefore I delight and derive an enormous sense of purpose in assisting those struggling with similar issues. Since no two people are exactly alike, it stands to reason that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. Each person’s journey is unique, and solutions to stressed relationships and life’s difficulties must be tailor-made. Concepts, interventions, and “gold nuggets” from Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Values-Based, Narrative, Family Systems, and other therapies are employed when helpful and harmonious with God’s thoughts and ways as revealed in Scripture. My goal is to assist clients to learn about themselves, grow, and put together their own emotional and mental health toolboxes so they can overcome present challenges and any future problems encountered in life. I provide a safe and supportive place for people to come and unload and be who they really are right now, flaws and all. For some people it takes a lot of courage to allow themselves to be vulnerable and let someone into the most painful places in their lives. I am patient and gentle, and take as long as needed to build rapport and trust with each person. Facing difficulties in life can be become opportunities for tremendous change and growth. Office hours: Monday through Thursday, including some evening appointments.

Those of us who value the life of preborn babies can be prone to tunnel vision, suggesting by our silence that we care less for life that is already born. These values don't have to be, and shouldn't be, mutually exclusive. If we wish to achieve unity with our brothers and sisters who are fighting more diligently for the cause of women and girls facing pregnancy in painful and difficult circumstances, then we must express concern and care for lives on both sides of the womb-- not just give lip service, but demonstrate our commitment with the same fervency as we do for the cause of babies. I encourage the support of organizations and ministries such as CareNet who not only care for preborn babies, but also the moms and dads who are not ready to be parents, are unprepared, struggling with poverty, have a lack support, are sick or disabled, scared of the prospect of single parenthood, or would benefit from blessing another couple with their child through adoption.

Most people who care about something care about something important. Let's be willing to listen to the heart behind the words, belief, or opinion.

"Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:3)

The “find your truth” lie, from Will Spencer ( on X)

“I was in secular transpersonal psychotherapy for two years, between 2013 and 2015.

Week-by-week, I turned myself inside out on the couch, processing "trauma" with my therapist. I thought it helped.

But all therapy did was make me more comfortable with fulfilling my sinful desires. This was called "getting out of my own way."

My therapist never said anything was right or wrong. For example, I was a young man, and he never suggested that I might find fulfillment in starting a family. No matter what I said I wanted, he encouraged me in it.

He affirmed "my truth."

Only after I chased everything I wanted, I found out that "living my truth" was a lie. There's nothing at the end of that path. Nothing that lasts, anyway. Just a never-ending parade of fleshly desires and then death.

Then I discovered that the Bible has the real prescription for the lives of men and women. I discovered the God who made us, and what He made us for.

I discovered the reality of sin, of objective right and wrong, of righteousness and immorality.

And it was there the whole time!

Then I looked around at my nation and my culture and saw generations of adults drowning in "their truth." They're being affirmed in trying to change genders, aborting babies, ending marriages, shattering families, wasting lives and money and so much time.

Adult men and women get to do whatever they want "because trauma" and "because my truth." This destroys them, and they call it "liberation."

I've seen it, because I was on that path too. So now, I no longer believe people need more of "their truth." I know for a fact they don't.

Instead they need The Truth. It's the only thing that heals. And it doesn't cost a penny.

Only pride.

The best thing for my mental health has been my deep personal walk with my Savior. The worst thing for my mental health has been SIN.

Living one foot in and one foot out, lukewarm, or with compromise brings one away from mental and emotional peace.

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
