Like many of us, you might be trying to juggle it all—work, family, parenting, taking care of yourself, and the pressure to do it all “right.” And maybe, despite your best efforts, you still find yourself lying awake at night second-guessing everything. I understand these challenges not just professionally, but personally.
My clients come to therapy feeling like they're drowning in life's pressures. They feel anxious, lonely, burned out, depressed or stuck in patterns of perfectionism that leave little room for rest or joy. I work with clients navigating relationships, matrescence, burnout, family stressors, parenting, and ADHD.

It’s difficult to be a human, with all of the ways the world shoves and shames us, telling us that we aren’t good enough or that we should to be something different. I love being a therapist and helping people unearth their precious and magical selves which may have been buried under years of pain and difficulty. There is so much to discover about ourselves, why we suffer and how we can get to a freer and more satisfying way of being.

Aloha! I am so glad you are taking the next steps to embark on your therapeutic journey. I know you’ve probably been told that every therapeutic journey is different and maybe that scares you a bit because you’re looking for results, but hoping that they would’ve arrived yesterday. Times are hard, transitions are tough, and right now you’re hoping that the “change” you’re looking for would just happen. If this resonates with you at all, let’s connect! I want to be your biggest cheerleader, your sounding board, your calming presence, and your safe space.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, or always on edge, you’re not alone. You may experience worries that keep you up at night, or keep you from enjoying your life. Or you may feel like your life will never be the same again after experiencing something traumatic. You might also be feeling hesitant to ask for help because no one else in your life seems to feel the way you do, and can’t understand your struggle.

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.
