Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals and families in the context of pastoral counseling, family therapy, and clinical practice providing an evidence-based approach that is uniquely Christian in foundation and principle.
Welcome to my profile. Navigating the uncertainties of life can be extremely challenging. During times of crisis, we often feel the added pressure to have all of the answers and to be decisive. It’s hard to “carry the weight of the world” when things are unraveling. My passion is to bring hope and healing to those that are hurting. I believe that the best therapy is non-judgmental and relevant. I promise to meet you where you’re at and provide you with an anchor of stability while working together to find the path of restoration and renewal.

Are living in survival mode or on auto-pilot? You may struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt. You question if you are "good enough" and often doubt yourself. You might be trying to find which parts of you are "you" and which parts are what you became to please others or survive. Many people feel this way after living through stressful experiences, bad relationships, or trauma. Imagine if you could start understanding the "why" behind your thoughts and feelings and learn the "how" you can get to a place of clarity, confidence, and feeling in control. Your past doesn't have to decide your future.

Counseling is the process of recognizing our pain and hurt (past and present), understanding the effects of that pain and hurt (as it relates to relationships, work, school, etc.), and making the necessary changes to stop the pain and hurt, and also promoting mental and emotional wellness. Psychologist Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I chose to become.” With that in mind, the hope and plan is to move towards one’s ideal, true self; moving from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.

Life storms” can show up at any time during the seasons of our lives. They can be mild storms or hurricane-level catastrophic storms. Those storms can range from work-related stress, broken relationships, losing a loved one, dealing with illness, job loss, fears, phobias, and traumatic, life-threatening events. These “life storms” can leave you feeling defeated, fearful, anxious, overwhelmed, and doubtful. You wonder if you will ever be able to find some sense of normal again. Every day is a struggle to get out of bed, go to work, tend to the kids, make dinner, etc. Days turn into weeks and weeks become months.

Are there any deep disappointments lingering within you? Do you feel alone, unlovable or misunderstood? Are you struggling with your child, spouse or any other relationship? Life issues and disappointments are heavy burdens to bear alone. Thoughts and feelings of unworthiness and/or rejection were never meant for you. And, it takes a village to grow a family. These life-matters were meant to be lived with others, disappointments were meant to be shared, and not good enough feelings were meant to be challenged. Would you consider help? Would you let me be that person for you, your child or adolescent in this season?

Many of us have experienced traumatic situations which have left a negative imprint within us, and consequently feelings of guilt, shame, fear, anxiety, depression and despair. While we can repress the effects of these traumatic events and their accompanying symptoms; it will only be temporary, since failure to process these incidents will generate in us different types of emotional disorders that will rob us of our quality of life.

Are you feeling stuck or confused? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? You have hopes and desires for your life but you feel held back by anxiety, depression, guilt, or relationship struggles. You can’t explain where these feelings are coming from, but they follow you into each day. Your struggles are much more common than you think, and the keys to understanding them and breaking free are likely to be found somewhere in your life story.

Have the Youtube, social media, or other screen-based rabbit holes gone too far and yet also feel like the only place you seem to be able to find solace from the stress in your life?

Does time heal all? I know we like to think so but unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. Some of us carry our trauma from the past, along the burdens of daily life. Some of us have had recent experiences that are making us feel lost and unsure of the direction we are heading in. Some of us struggle with the families we were born into or the family we’ve created. As humans, we are all searching for guidance, empathy, emotional connections, and someone to listen to our stories. We aspire to achieve our goals, follow our dreams, resolve our issues, and heal our emotional wounds.

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.
