Are you overwhelmed with anxiety or worry? Do you feel pressure to do things perfectly? You might be praised for your success, but inside you feel like you’re drowning in anxiety and self-doubt. You might worry frequently about failing, struggle with self-criticism, or self-sabotaging behaviors. Or maybe you have experienced a distressing or traumatic event(s) that is making it hard to function, and you're tired of the past interfering with how you want to live. You are ready to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and you are ready to leave the stress of the past behind you.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship or thought patterns? Do you wish you knew your partner or yourself better than you do now? Do you want to get real answers to these questions? I can help. I have been told by previous clients that they have learned more about their partner and themselves than they have after decades of marriage and therapy. I love helping people get to the bottom-line of what they experience and I excel at it.

If you are a teen or a young adult, you may find yourself worrying about your next steps and making the right decisions for your future. Every decision feels like a make or break moment, and you find yourself losing sleep over the potential impact these decisions will have on your life. That weight is a heavy burden to carry alone. Or maybe you are trying to connect with others, but past experiences have left you feeling anxious about how people perceive you and whether they will accept you or not. If any of this resonates with you, you may benefit from exploring your attachment style and the narratives that shape your self-image.

It is said that the role of an interpreter is to bridge the communication gap between two or more parties who do not speak the same language. As a person who grew up dreaming of becoming a UN interpreter, I am a therapist whose passion is to help translate the language of the heart to help individuals increase personal insight and understanding of their emotion to better connect and strengthen their relationships with others. If you feel that your effort to improve your relationship with loved ones is not working, allow me to come alongside and help you.

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.
