My work is informed by mind-body science, neurobiology, and Taoist, Zen, and Christian perspectives.
Mind–Body Therapy for Trauma, Neurodivergence, & Relationship Issues.
You deserve a therapist who sees the whole picture, not just your symptoms but the trauma, neurodivergence, cultural differences, stress, and protective parts you carry. Many people come to me feeling confused about why their relationship feels so difficult or why they feel out of sync with their partner or with themselves. My integrative East and West, mind‑body approach, shaped by years in the VA and in a major burn trauma center, helps you understand these deeper layers with clarity and compassion so you can finally make sense of the dissonance in your life.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can show up just as you are. I focus on supporting children, teens, and young adults as you navigate the ups and downs of growing up: from school stress, friendships, and family changes to the bigger transitions and pressures that come with becoming a young adult. Together, we’ll explore what’s been on your mind, reflect on what feels most important to you, and find practical ways to cope and grow. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and collaboration, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered.

Welcome! I have a warm, engaging, empathic approach to therapy. I believe the journey is collaborative, and, as we navigate the territory that includes your deepest truths, roadblocks, and happiest moments, we can uncover how you have done the best you could to get to the present.. Together, we will look at how you built your belief system, based on life experiences, childhood, and adult events. My therapy style is warm, engaging, and collaborative.

Most of the people I work with are capable, responsible, and very tired. They are professionals, parents, and caregivers who show up for everyone else while quietly carrying stress, burnout, poor sleep, or relationship strain. On the outside, things look fine. On the inside, they feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Therapy with me is a place where you do not have to perform or hold it all together. It is a supportive space to slow down, untangle what feels heavy, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with who you are beyond the roles you carry.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
