I offer a unique blend of Christian, faith-based spiritual direction with competent mental health counseling along with collaborative treatment planning.
While I am trained in counseling theories and techniques, I believe using the Bible as a guide to explore the emotions that often paralyze our daily lives and relationships is fundamental to reaching healing and growth. I have earned a Doctor of Education, Master of Education, Post-Master in Marriage & Family Therapy, and a Kentucky License in Pastoral Counseling.

Hi, I'm David! Welcome to my little corner of the Psychology Today website! Maybe you've come here because something needs to change. Maybe you're feeling stuck, you're struggling, you're addicted, you're in spiritual exile or bondage and you want to be free and know that you belong. If you're 'going through it' like this, you need someone who's been there to talk to. Sometimes change comes quickly, other times not so much, but I have found that when you give voice to your struggles with someone you can trust, you are able to come up with solutions for coping and access the courage to get what you need. We can do this together.

I also offer Christian counseling for clients who want to integrate their faith into the healing process.
You’re in the thick of pregnancy or postpartum, and it’s nothing like you imagined. Maybe you expected it to be hard,but not this hard. You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, touched out, or disconnected. Sex might feel like the last thing you want, or like another thing you’re “failing” at. You might be grieving a birth that didn’t go as planned, a loss that others have forgotten, or the version of you that existed before motherhood. On the outside, you’re functioning. But inside, you’re struggling. You’re craving support that actually gets it: not just surface-level support, but real healing for your mind, body, and nervous system.

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.
