During sessions, I utilize CBT techniques and I often incorporate a faith-based ( Christian) approach alongside strengths-based strategies.
My mission is to empower and uplift individuals by helping them recognize their worth, strengths and learn healthy ways to cope with life's challenges.

I work with survivors of sexual assault, individuals who experienced mental/emotional abuse, as well as individuals who struggled with self-harm or thoughts of wanting to escape their pain. It is my privilege to help others find hope in distressing times.

Although I work with a wide variety of concerns, these are a few that I work with most often: grief/loss, anxiety, Christian faith and spirituality concerns, major life transitions, relationship concerns, communication, depression, and career discernment.
Are you struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Are you facing uncertainty, loss, or challenges in your relationships? I can help. Our emotional world can be difficult to navigate if we never learned the skills to regulate and process them. We can either minimize our emotions or let them run wild. Either way, it can keep us from the life and relationships we desire. Engaging ourselves, our stories, and our emotions in therapy takes great courage and can lead us to places of flourishing. I approach clients with compassion, empathy, and kindness to work collaboratively to help you live more fully and freely.

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.
