I work with teens (12+) and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to manage stress, anxiety, or depression. Many of my clients are balancing a lot and appear to be holding it together, but internally feel drained, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward.
I help clients slow things down, understand what’s contributing to how they’re feeling, and find practical ways to manage stress, improve mood, and feel more in control in their day-to-day life. I also support clients in working through past experiences that may still be impacting them.

My approach is both insightful and adaptable, ensuring that each individual receives support that is not only clinically effective but also respectful of their unique cultural and personal experiences incorporating a Christian faith-based approach to promote holistic health.
Are you a parent who has noticed your child/teen shutting you out and not really expressing anything, but they are visibly not okay? I am here to help! You might notice them struggling to control their reactions, feeling as if their emotions take over before they have a chance to think. They might continuously experience memories, triggers, and emotions that have surfaced unexpectedly, making it difficult for them to feel safe or trust others. They may appear as if nothing matters to them, like if they don’t find joy in anything and motivation is out of reach. They are worthy of healing even if they do not believe it to be true.

Life can be more than a little challenging at times. These challenges can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck.

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.
