As a Christian, I believe God made us with a need for good relationships with Him, with others, and with ourselves. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I supply an empathetic, non-judgmental ear to people looking for a safe place to be honest, find help, and heal relational difficulties. My greatest experience is in marital issues, sexual addiction, trauma and grief. Because I have experienced my own emotional trials and heartaches, I have a heart to listen to and understand yours and to walk with you through the valleys of your life so that you can emerge living the life you feel good about.

As a Christian, I provide Christian counseling to those who desire it.
Do you sometimes feel as though no one understands you or the situation you find yourself in? Are you struggling with making decisions about your life and future? Do you feel distracted and you can't focus on things important to you? We all can use a neutral person to share our problems or concerns with. After sharing your issues, you can develop insight, then make emotional and behavioral changes. Eventually, you will feel as though you have made progress and completed goals in your life. I have found often times people don't only want someone to help solve their problems, but also to listen!

I have over 5,000 hours as an LPC and have participated in Christian Ministry for 25 years.
My life feels like chaos! How can I get past my past? How can I save my marriage? How can I achieve my goals in life? These are common issues that bring people into counseling. To borrow a quote from coach Wooden "although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress." Getting started can feel uncomfortable at first but usually as you proceed most people are engaged, energized, and feeling the benefits. My style is such that it does not feel like therapy--rather someone you know who has been down this road as well.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients walking through anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and terminal illness and primarily work with women who deal with these issues. Through my time working in this profession, I have also been involved in ministry ranging in different capacities and have learned so much through my own walk with my community and the Lord. My heart and hope for this practice come from Isaiah 41, showing we all are in need, but God will provide, turning dust, despair, into beauty and life.

Are you struggling? Do you pray and hope for healing, but feel like it will always be this way? I know that struggle; it is what led me to create Alpas Counseling PLLC. It is my passion as a counselor and follower of Jesus to provide a place where the truth and hope of God’s word combine with evidence-based practices in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Scripture points to the importance of challenging our negative thoughts and beliefs allowing for truth to take its place. CBT helps break that process down into tangible and practical steps.

You've been in an office all day, and probably the last thing you want to do is go to another office and talk about problems. My goal is to do therapy differently when possible, whether that means going outdoors and taking a walk or meeting from the comfort of your own home via secured telehealth. Either way, you'll experience evidence-based treatment in a new way. Check out my website for more about what to expect. If you need one-on-one care, we can do that. If you're on a budget, check out my Jaunts, which incorporate hiking and groups at a lower rate.

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.
