My clients are always in the process of becoming. You are naturally curious, yet you seem to hit "walls" that you can never overcome by yourself. You are seeking new heights and possibilities, yet struggle to shake off the weight of guilt and shame. You feel narrowed in and defined by some force other than yourself, whether that be cultural or familial, but you are open towards meaning and purpose beyond what is familiar. You want to be truly 'you' across different contexts and spaces - confident of who 'you' are no matter what has been said about you.

People I work with often feel anxious, directionless, or overwhelmed by despair—sometimes disconnected from others or from themselves. They may be in a hard transition, grieving, or living with chronic illness; burnout or a loss of faith may be in the background. They want real hope, freedom from feeling trapped, and a path toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we work to quiet the noise, look closely at what hurts and what matters, and practice small changes between sessions. When helpful, we integrate EMDR to reprocess painful experiences, unwinding ways suffering has fused with identity, and reconnect with their true self.

Life is a constant, ever-changing process, often unfolding in ways that feel beyond our grasp. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, unable to find your way, or to keep pace. Maybe you feel stuck, disconnected, estranged from your inner world. For many, they sense a confusing mix of dynamics shaping their lives, keeping them caught in a familiar, but unpleasant loop. Together, we can explore what feels unresolved, engaging the known and unknown with curiosity and care. In doing so, we begin to cultivate a sense of self that feels more alive, embodied, compassionate, and authentic, both in relation to personal truth and to others.

Life transitions - like expecting, birthing, or parenting a baby - bring your underlying "stuff" to the surface! Life changes can trigger muscle tension, headaches, an upset stomach, or racing thoughts about the most awful things that have happened (or that COULD happen). Maybe you're yearning to bond with your little one but feeling like you're drowning - too worried, too overwhelmed, too insecure, too tangled up in the scary thoughts, too deep in grief, and in too much pain to be present. Maybe you feel exhausted and drained throughout the day, but lie awake at night with your heart pounding, too anxious to fall asleep.

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.
