I thoroughly enjoy getting the opportunity to work with individuals who are at the point in their lives where they are ready to face their challenges head on. While they may be scared and uncertain, they are also hopeful. I will meet you where you currently are in your journey to achieve mental health greatness and walk alongside you as you create the person you feel you are ready and wanting to become. Our mental health and its care is not a sprint, but a marathon. The more we take care of our mental health the more we can take care of us as a person and those around us that we love.

Many teens and adults struggle with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors that feel difficult to control. You might find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, reassurance-seeking, or mental rituals that leave you feeling drained and frustrated. Anxiety or OCD can start to take over—impacting your relationships, school, work, and your ability to actually enjoy your life. What you’re really looking for is relief—not just from anxiety itself, but from the constant mental battle. You want to feel more in control, less driven by fear, and more present in your day-to-day life.

My work is guided by the truth that we heal in connection with others and can grow stronger by being heard. The "process" looks different for different people because we're all more complicated than one book or chart can cover. It may involve skills work from various evidence-based models such as DBT, ACT, and internal family systems. It may also look like getting your body moving in nature. Sometimes, it is just the work of talking out an issue. The goal is helping you get to whatever you need to keep walking forward on what can be a confusing and difficult path. I would be honored to come alongside you in that.

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.
