My ideal client is a teen, adult, or parent who appears capable yet feels overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected inside. Teens may struggle with anxiety, identity, grief, or behavioral challenges, while adults face relational stress, parenting pressures, or past emotional wounds shaped by early experiences or cultural expectations. They desire healing, emotional safety, and a deeper connection with God. Their goal is restoration—learning to regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, and move forward with confidence, peace, and alignment with God’s purpose.

You scroll through your phone's contacts and realize you haven't actually talked to most of your friends in months... maybe longer. The group chats from college have gone quiet. People moved, got busy, changed. And now you're alone on your couch every night. Even though you're in a city, an apartment, a job, and surrounded by people, somehow you're still completely alone. You want to meet someone, maybe even find your person, but after a full week of work you have nothing left. No energy to go out, no bandwidth to swipe, no idea how adults actually make real friends anymore. The loneliness is quieter than you expected. And heavier.

Life can be hard. Especially for teens, parents, and adults feeling overwhelmed & disconnected with the world around them. It’s common to struggle navigating the pressures of school, work, relationships and the endless list of expectations. Understandably, many learn to shut-down, avoid, get angry, or find various unhelpful means to escape. This can lead to intense feelings of regret, poor self-esteem, guilt, or shame. When left untreated, it can create long-term struggles such as depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship stress.

I work with those who are experiencing painful obstacles to living fully. It could be relationship struggles, trauma, anxiety and/or depression, or grief and loss. People develop survival strategies that can stop working and prevent growth. Coping strategies get reenacted unconsciously, and result in feeling stuck. We work together looking deep within and without, gaining insight and using our relationship to discover and access a different experience. Our collaboration of understanding dynamics/patterns, processing traumas, utilizing dreams helps to develop a fuller capacity, transforming pain into growth.

Emotions can be difficult to navigate—especially if you grew up in a family where emotional regulation wasn’t modeled. You may have learned to disconnect from your body or believe your big feelings are “too much.” But emotions are a gift: they signal deeper needs and open the door to meaningful connection.

Trouble with your Teen? Are you frustrated, worried or concerned with/about your teenager? Not sure what is going on, but you know something isn't right? We all deal with issues during adolescence, but how do you know if this is just a piece of the regular process or if there is something bigger bothering and affecting your child? I believe that the teen years are the most difficult, because it is a time when there are so many changes, issues and pressures, but kids are least prepared and have not developed proper coping skills. Small slights seem insurmountable to them now, but some may impact them for the rest of their lives.

FAQ - About Christian Counselling
What can a Christian therapist help with?
Many Christian counselors incorporate faith-based principles into psychotherapy and draw guidance from biblical writings. This approach may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing concerns related to faith, prolonged grief, substance use, or questions about life’s purpose. Christian therapists may also offer marital, premarital, or family counseling. These can be helpful options if your concerns are more relational in nature, such as communication challenges in a marriage, conflict within a family, or adjustment following a major family transition, such as divorce or a move.
How does Christian faith shape the therapy experience?
Christian faith can shape the therapy experience by giving you a familiar framework for discussing meaning, purpose, forgiveness, relationships, and hope in sessions. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may draw on Christian values, prayer, or spiritual reflection alongside other therapeutic approaches. In addition, while training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has shown that a strong alliance between you and your 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. Nevertheless, an ethical Christian therapist should be clear about how they incorporate faith and should respect the level of spiritual discussion that feels right for you.
Does Christian therapy work across different denominations?
Christian therapy can be helpful for people from various different Christian traditions, including Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and Anglican backgrounds. Many Christian therapists are able to support clients across denominations by focusing on shared Christian values, such as faith, prayer, forgiveness, and hope. That said, denomination can matter for some clients. A person’s identified denomination may shape how they understand relationships and life roles. If these differences are important to you, it may be helpful to ask a therapist whether they have experience working with clients from your specific denomination or faith tradition.
Can a Christian therapist help with marriage and couples counseling?
Christian faith-based therapy can take many different forms, including marriage counseling and couples counseling. Some therapists may also offer Christian pre-marital counseling. In these settings, Christian therapists may work with couples on concerns such as communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, parenting, and major life transitions. A Christian therapist may also help couples explore how shared Christian beliefs shape the relationship. They may encourage you and your partner to practice skills learned in therapy in your everyday lives, including both faith-based practices and non-faith-based tools, such as prayer or communication skills.
Can a Christian therapist help with sensitive issues like sex, trauma, or addiction?
Licensed therapists with adequate training should be equipped to help with a number of sensitive issues, including sex, trauma, and addiction. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may help explore how your spiritual beliefs relate to your challenges, healing, and recovery. A competent and ethical Christian therapist should not judge, shame, or impose a particular belief when discussing these topics, and if you feel judged, it may be time to seek another therapist.
How can a Christian therapist support family therapy?
Christian family therapy can help families address conflict, communication challenges, parenting concerns, grief, or adjustment following a major life transition. A Christian therapist may support family members in understanding one another’s perspectives, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and rebuilding trust. For families who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may also help explore how family values related to Christianity can support healing.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with Christian clients?
If religion is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Christian clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask how they incorporate Christian values into therapy or how they approach certain topics that matter to you. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A strong therapeutic alliance does not necessarily require a therapist to share your religious background, but they should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
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 and have identified as Christian. It shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.
