Counseling is a collaborative journey where we explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I work with individuals (ages 3+), teens and adults who may be navigating challenges such as behavioral concerns, parenting struggles, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder. My approach centers on creating a safe, trusting environment that fosters growth and lasting healing. By integrating person-centered principles, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and psychoeducation, I partner with clients to help them move toward their unique goals and a greater sense of wholeness and growth.

Most women that come to my office are looking for help managing certain stressors in life or are feeling burned out from juggling so many different roles. They may say they are exhausted, checked out, constantly anxious, struggling with relationships, and don't feel like themselves anymore. They may have tried everything and nothing has worked. And then they end up in my office. To help, I gently guide women on how to feel present and safe in their bodies. I use therapeutic tools to support nervous system regulation and healthy ways of coping, and help women process the parts of themselves that may need acknowledgment and healing.

While my practice is open to all adults, I have a deep specialization in supporting first responders —firefighters, EMTs, telecommunicators, and law enforcement officers — as they navigate the cumulative weight of their jobs. You might be struggling with sleep, irritability, or a sense of isolation, feeling the pressure to "just deal with it" because of the culture. Your goal isn't to quit; it's to find a sustainable path forward, to process trauma, manage stress, and reconnect with purpose, both on and off duty.

I also support college students and adults navigating academic and career stress, helping them move through stuck points and rediscover balance and clarity.

First responders, Veterans, and their families have a unique lifestyle. After a career in law enforcement and the military, it was clear that a more unique type of support was needed. Issues such as trauma, complex trauma, adverse childhood experiences, mental and/or physical abuse, substance misuse, addictions, suicidal ideations or attempts, moral injury, stress, traumatic brain injury/concussion, and anxiety are common.
Needs within this community can be a little different, and through assessments, we determine, together, the individual goals and work together to consider appropriate changes.

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.
