While I have worked with people of all faith backgrounds, I provide Christian counseling upon request.
You've found disappointment because your life does not look the way you thought it would. Perhaps you are dealing with a major loss that has you feeling like a bomb went off in your life. Or perhaps you dreamed life would look a certain way and feel left behind, unfulfilled and unsure what you want moving forward. Or perhaps you are struggling to adjust to a life change. Even if your life looks good on the outside, you feel empty and hopeless. You cannot shake a nagging worry or sadness, and your friends and family might not understand how much your life feels like a battle. You feel alone, but you do not need to suffer in silence.

I aim to create a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship while my clients work toward wholeness where they feel wounded. Symptoms of anxiety or depression often usher us into difficult life change that can eventually lead toward improved emotional health. I work from an eclectic theoretical orientation using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, Narrative-Focused Trauma Care, and faith if clients desire. I utilize Strengths-Based theory with teens, which is an evidence-based approach to suicide prevention. I specialize in teens and work well with high-performing women who struggle with anxiety.

You’ve carried more than most people will ever understand—and you’ve done it with a level of grace that looked effortless from the outside. People trust you. They lean on you. You rise. But beneath that composure? You’re craving a different kind of life. Not crisis care—clarity. Not survival—alignment. You’re done shrinking your needs to stay “strong.” You want a space that meets you at your level. A space where your identity, your pace, and your future get to breathe. You’re ready to feel like yourself again—without the armor.

I have since stepped out in faith to start my own Christian Counseling Ministry because I believe that there are many Christians that struggle with their own mental health but don't seek help out of fear of what the church may think.
I specialize in Christian Counseling for the individual, couple or family. I am able to provide a biblical perspective to their mental health or marital struggles. I have worked with both adults, couples and teens and have a vast comprehension of mental health diagnoses and utilize CBT and DBT therapies to assist in developing coping strategies.

At Sanctuary Counseling Group, we believe in creating therapeutic relationships to promote healing of heart, mind, and soul. On the outside, you may look like you’re holding it together, showing up and pushing through, but underneath anxiety, overthinking, past experiences, or relationship stress can feel heavy and exhausting. I help adults who are high functioning but internally overwhelmed navigate anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges using trauma-focused therapy and EMDR to create real, lasting change. I am currently accepting new clients and offer virtual sessions, including evening appointments.

But underneath? Underneath, The mental load is heavy. The overthinking doesn’t stop. The pressure to keep it all together... for yourself, your kids, your family... feels constant.

A mom feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself.

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.
