I work best with individuals who have reached a critical crossroads—often professionals, caregivers, or patients who are overwhelmed, misunderstood, or quietly suffering. My ideal client may be a licensed healthcare provider grappling with impairment, burnout, or the fear of losing their career. Or they may be a person living with chronic pain whose family just doesn’t get what they’re going through. Others come to me because they need to have hard conversations—conversations they’ve been avoiding for years—with loved ones, employers, or themselves.
What my patients all share is this: they want to feel like themselves again.

I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. Sometimes life can feel heavy, confusing, or isolating.

You feel stuck. On the outside, it looks like you’re doing fine, but inside you’re carrying fear, shame, and sadness that never really quiet down. You’re functioning, getting through the days, yet you’re exhausted by the constant pressure to get things “right.”
What if you had a safe place to say the things you don’t usually say out loud, to share your concerns, ideas, and even your hopes without having to perform? And when you’re ready to move toward change, what would it be like to have someone walking alongside you as you take those steps?
At the core, you want to believe that you matter, that it’s possible to feel grounded.

I do provide Christian Counseling to those who desire to incorporate faith into their treatment.
I understand that it has taken an incredible amount of courage to get to the point in seeking counseling for yourself and I am honored to be a part of it. I believe that through my personal challenges, paired with my work experience in helping other walk through their own challenges, this gives me a unique lens to be able to have an empathetic perspective, helping client’s handle life’s transitions and struggles with grace and confidence. Life isn’t always fair, and often times we don’t have control over the things that happen to us. However, I believe that we do have control in how we respond and react to those things.

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.
