I believe times of frustration, stress, and pain can lead to positive growth and that we can flourish in a compassionate, nonjudgemental environment, with gentle challenging from a trusted individual. In the context of the therapeutic environment, one can safely work through vulnerable emotions, fears, and dreams, and it is an honor to be able to facilitate this process. No one is an island; if our relationships aren't going well, it is likely we are not feeling our best. I would like to help you improve how you relate to and view yourself, others, and the world around you, identifying strengths and natural supports.

You want a happy, healthy family but the kids are fighting you, the in-laws or your parents are stressing you, or your kids are grown and you don't know what to do anymore because they aren't there. What is a normal family supposed to be like? Will my kids be ok or am I messing them up? Real fears from real parents. Will my relationship survive or how can I have a healthy relationship after years of bad ones? Parenting and relationships are hard and uniquely complicated. I see the struggle and am here to help guide your family into a better way that works instead of redoing the same old thing that hasn't been working.

Reaching out for help takes courage, and I am glad you have considered me in your search for hope and clarity. The daily struggles of life can be overwhelming. You keep thinking that you can figure things out yourself, but you keep running into the same walls every day. Depression, loneliness, anger, and confusion leave you stressed and feeling like the only person with these struggles. You know you argue too much but don’t know how to stop. You know you have bad habits interfering with your life, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop them.

I love partnering with those who want more in life....more joy, sense of fulfillment and impact, freedom, rich relationships, and a closer walk with God. Issues such as low self esteem, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, relational conflict, and parenting struggles are frequently addressed. Trauma, sexual abuse, relational woundings are identified and resolution of their impact can be lessened. I have over 30 years experience in working with with individuals, couples, families, and the elderly. Group Therapy is another option available to those who want to understand their "story" and how it impacts their lives today.

Growing in your Christian faith and creating a lasting strong relationship with Jesus is a priority.
My desired families are those that love Jesus and want to grow in their faith. Of course, I would love and accept all clients despite religious/philosophical preferences. I have extensive experience working with couples, individuals/couples coping with trauma, coping with a phase of life, addictions, and men's issues. The single most important attribute I can provide, higher than the philosophy and the techniques of counseling, I genuinely care about every individual that steps into my care. We all need a support system that cares for our needs and can point us in the right direction when we are surrounded by darkness.

I offer space for healing to everyone and a Christian worldview for those who desire it.
You can feel it coming- some word spoken or look given, and you’re quickly overcome with emotion you feel incapable of controlling. Or maybe it’s your child. You feel helpless as you watch, not understanding why they react so strongly. You’ve read books, prayed, and sought advice, but life still feels so unmanageable. You wonder, why is this so hard? Our past is often riddled with pain we’ve yet to overcome, some we don't even remember. When the pain points show up, we often find ourselves reacting to triggers rather than responding to who’s in front of us. We can’t erase past hurts, but they don’t have to keep us stuck.

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.
