Every person carries a story that deserves to be understood with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My role as a clinician is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. In addition to therapy, I offer comprehensive mental health and diagnostic evaluations for individuals seeking clarity about their cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning. These assessments can be especially helpful if you’ve spent years wondering why certain challenges persist or if you’re seeking answers that can guide treatment, academic accommodations, or personal understanding.

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.

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.

I have counseling experience working with a diverse clientele within the adult population. I serve adults in different stages of life, as well as religions backgrounds. I believe that all people have an innate desire to have a fulfilling and purposeful life. Inevitable stress, anxiety, crisis, trauma, and sadness that accompany life can leave unhealed wounds and drive human beings to develop healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms, as well as perceptions about life that serve to protect them against future hardships. However, unhealthy coping strategies can continue to cause problems in our lives.

For 20 years, I have worked with people by combining the behavioral sciences with Christian spirituality to work towards a better sense of well-being.
Life can be challenging. And right now, in the day to day, it seems even harder. Are you having trouble figuring out where to go next? You are not alone. Many people hesitate to get started with counseling because taking that first step can be hard. Yet, feeling stuck in life or continuing in a dysfunctional situation is much harder. Today is a good day to start in a different direction with a more hopeful future.

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.
