I specialize in working with Christian clients who are struggling with anxiety and stress due to issues like relationship conflicts, home and work life overwhelm, mental health diagnoses, grief and loss, and church hurt. Many of my clients find having a trauma-informed space where their faith is understood and not judged to be very helpful as they gain insight and learn how to cope with life's challenges.

As a Christian with significant experience in the church and ministry, I am uniquely qualified to work with other Christians who are hurting. Informed by trauma research and counselling theory, I offer a non-judgmental atmosphere and help clients recognize patterns and root issues, set achievable goals and implement practical changes that make a difference.

If any of the above sounds at all familiar, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to ask any questions, learn more about counselling, and experience what it might be like to work with me.

Narrative

As every client is different I use a blend of types of therapy, mainly built around narrative therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, EMDR for trauma and the Gottman method when working with couples. I use these methods within the context of Christian counselling, which means that we look to God's Word for truth and apply insights and coping skills to our stories within God's larger narrative.
