My therapy style integrates beliefs about people and issues derived from my Christian faith, empowering principles from individual psychology, and the emphasis of emotions from emotionally focused therapy.
Feeling “Stuck” can feel and look like a lot of things. I understand the stress and overwhelm that can well up from searching for language to articulate your emotional turmoil. Stress tends to invade our daily routines, disrupt our sleep patterns, strain relationships, and compromise our overall sense of wellbeing.

And as a Licensed Minister and hopelessly sinful Christian, I personally know the grace and patience we each need as we struggle to find, understand, and accept true peace.
Relationships are often the most difficult part of our lives. While they may provide companionship and comfort, they can also be a source of conflict and pain. Regardless of who we are or from where we came, we will each face life events that challenge our sense of self. Our response to each event - a crossroad - can shape the remainder of our journey. I am honored to walk with you as you consider your paths and take those crucial steps.

I often get asked, “What’s a good reason to seek counseling?” Or “Why do people go to counseling?” And the short answer is, “For lots of reasons.” If you’re feeling stuck, have experiences you’re wanting to sort through with someone, wanting to re-learn how to have healthy relationships with others or yourself, have experienced significant grief, trauma, or impacting experiences, or simply want to better understand what has shaped your life and desire to live a more integrated and full life, then I’d say come check it out. Emailing me is the best way to get a hold of me.

Do you struggle with anxiety, phobias, or obsessive thoughts that make you spiral or have panic attacks? Does past trauma, abuse, or neglect affect your relationships, your work, or your ability to function or move forward? Are you a first responder or veteran living with trauma or distressing events? Do you need to to create boundaries for people in your life? Knowing that our life experiences and the circumstances in which we grew up in or work in can manifest into negative beliefs that lead to anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and more is the first step in healing.

Have you been feeling like everyone else seems to be handling life and stress better than you? Life is just plain hard sometimes, and often through no fault of our own. I have lived with a disability myself for over 25 years and I understand how challenging life can be at times. Maybe for you it is anxiety/worry that keeps you up at night, or maybe it's a feeling of hopelessness or helplessness because life hasn't turned out how you thought it might have. I know you have what it takes to overcome life's challenges, and I would love to walk along side you on your path to resilience.

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.
