Waitlist for new clients
Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” This quote resonates with me because, as a therapist, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people during times when they have felt alone, vulnerable, or overwhelmed. With my help, they learn to “listen” to their emotions and gain more control. So often, when we are alone during a difficult time, our ability to see beyond such challenges becomes compromised. Our vision narrows and hope dims. But through the collaborative efforts of the client and the therapist, healing, growth, and change can happen. Hope is restored.

Take a moment and think about your relationships. Are they thriving? Healthy? Is there meaningful connection? Am I in relationship with others and still feeling lonely or like an outsider? All of us were taught how to do relationship from those who surrounded us in childhood. Some of those lessons were healthy and others not so much. Instead, we were not taught how to effectively communicate, that emotions were “weak,” and our boundaries did not matter. And as a result, we’ve been exposed to manipulation, abuse and/or have taught ourselves to be so protective of ourselves that we don’t let others in and end up feeling lonely.

Anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, pain, shame, or patterns of disconnection may loom over our lives. Sometimes our current way of being ourselves feels stuck. Perhaps something in us feels unhealed, unwell, dead or disconnected, incapable or inaccessible. There can be so many obstacles to thriving as ourselves. If you can relate to this, I say with compassion: “Welcome!" There are innumerable ways to speak of a rich and fulfilling life, but I believe one thing required is a feeling of wholeness and integration in our way of being. I work with individuals and couples who want to cultivate deeper connection and fulfillment in life.

We all, at some point, may struggle with the "why's" of life. We ask: "Why did this have to happen to me?" or "Why do I keep making this same mistake?" Perhaps you are caring for children or family members with special circumstances or needs, and you are struggling just to keep your head above water. We can find ourselves in positions that seem irreversible or unfixable, but know this: you do not have to navigate them alone.

I help high-capacity women who carry a great deal of responsibility move from chronic overwhelm toward practical calm through trauma-informed, faith-integrated therapy. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can be themselves and work intentionally toward their mental health goals. Therapy with me is grounded in safety, trust, and respect. I come alongside clients as they learn to become more aware, accountable, and empowered in caring for their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through this process, clients often begin to experience renewed hope, meaningful healing, and a greater sense of overall wellness.

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.
