Christian Therapists in Winston Salem, NC
I use Christian Counseling as a means to connect our pain and mental challenges to living in balance between the highs and lows.
Life can be viewed as a series of successes and disappointments. We often have people who support us in the highs but may not know how to help us through the lows. I would be honored to be that person for you! While we cannot be perfect, we can be healthy in mind, body, and spirit! I believe that God can use every event, mistake, achievement, frustration, setback and triumph to help us prosper and be well.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. With over two decades of experience as an educator, I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are seeking greater self-understanding and meaningful change. Together, we explore the patterns behind thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, build on strengths, and develop practical tools to create resilience, healthier relationships, and confidence.

You don't have to hold everything together here. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment—a place where you can show up exactly as you are. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying so much for so long while being incredibly hard on themselves along the way. They often struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling like they can never escape their "funk". I believe healing happens in the context of safe relationships, so I strive to bring compassion and genuine care to our work together.

We may not like to admit it, but sometimes we just need help in sorting out our thoughts, feelings, relationships, and problems. Hey, if you could have "fixed" yourself on your own, you wouldn't be here looking for a therapist! With more than twenty years of experience as a pastor to complement my practice of therapy, I have seen how individuals of all ages, couples of all types, and families of all shapes and sizes both endure and solve problems, as well as how just a little effort can go a long way. The important thing for you to know is that there's nothing inherently wrong with you; you just need a little help working it out.

Using a biblical perspective of humanity (we are of body, spirit and soul), I provide Christ-centered counseling to focus on wholeness, bringing hope and restoration.
Many times people find themselves at a place in life where they find it difficult to move towards their goals in life. Goals vary from person to person; but they are important to who we are. A person may notice the same mountain is circled with little to no progress. This can be very frustrating. Obstacles might include past "hang-ups", lack of self trust, or feeling unmotivated or overwhelmed with life's circumstances. There may be times the individual wonders if things will always be a certain way, or they may wonder if there is something they are missing. They desire to move past the obstacles and achieve their goal.

Greetings! If you're here then you're likely looking for help, or at least curious about talking to someone about what burdens you. Know that you need not carry your burdens alone, and it would be my privilege and honor to join you on your journey. We will work together to provide you with a safe place to be fully seen and truly known. Perhaps that ignites a shred of hope within you, or dread, or maybe both! The journey towards real change may involve discomfort, but it can be life-giving. Good things are often achieved through hardship.

Have you ever thought "why am I here," "everyone would be better off if I wasn't here." Well, you are not alone! As hard as it may be to believe in this moment, you are not here by accident and have a purpose!

I have a Christian background and training in Christian Counseling and can utilize aspects of that in sessions if desired.
Christians who deal with any form of mental health concern are often told to just pray harder or have more faith... Dealing with a mental health concern is real and in now way a sign of little faith! In a session with me, we work together to use the faith you already have and clinical tools to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life challenges. At Redeemed Therapy, I help adults 18+ find peace, clarity, and healing through trauma-informed, biblically grounded therapy. You don’t have to carry it alone! Let’s walk this journey together with grace, truth, and practical tools for lasting change.

Do you find yourself navigating a season of change and everything feels heavier than it should? Maybe anxiety shows up as constant overthinking or tight chest that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions. You may be juggling a career, relationships, and caring for others while quietly wondering, “What about me?” Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, grieving an old one, or simply feeling lost in the in-between, you don’t have to do it alone.

For those who desire it, I thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.
At the core of my work is a deep belief that we are meant for connection. I work with individuals who feel worn down, overwhelmed, or shaped by past trauma, and with couples who feel distant, stuck, or unsure how to find their way back to one another. Together, we slow down and gently make sense of what you’ve been carrying, creating space for healing, clarity, and new ways of relating that feel safer, more honest, and deeply connected.

Anxiety and stress isn’t something new but lately your thoughts are taking over your life. You know they don't make sense but you can’t control them. You blocked it out before but now you can’t focus at work, at school, or be with others. Avoiding people, places, and things started out small but has become a way of life and you feel trapped. The guilt, sadness, and pressure you feel every day has become more than you can bear. Sometimes you feel like you can even trust your own thoughts. If you're a parent reading this, you may have tried everything but seeing your child struggle is heartbreaking. You need help.

You have frequent thoughts that things will never get better. You spend every day trying to keep it together, but you just cannot do it anymore. You don’t have to feel this way.

FAQ - About Christian Counselling
What can a Christian therapist help with?
Many Christian counselors incorporate faith-based principles into psychotherapy and draw guidance from biblical writings. This approach may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing concerns related to faith, prolonged grief, substance use, or questions about life’s purpose. Christian therapists may also offer marital, premarital, or family counseling. These can be helpful options if your concerns are more relational in nature, such as communication challenges in a marriage, conflict within a family, or adjustment following a major family transition, such as divorce or a move.
How does Christian faith shape the therapy experience?
Christian faith can shape the therapy experience by giving you a familiar framework for discussing meaning, purpose, forgiveness, relationships, and hope in sessions. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may draw on Christian values, prayer, or spiritual reflection alongside other therapeutic approaches. In addition, while training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has shown that a strong alliance between you and your 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. Nevertheless, an ethical Christian therapist should be clear about how they incorporate faith and should respect the level of spiritual discussion that feels right for you.
Does Christian therapy work across different denominations?
Christian therapy can be helpful for people from various different Christian traditions, including Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and Anglican backgrounds. Many Christian therapists are able to support clients across denominations by focusing on shared Christian values, such as faith, prayer, forgiveness, and hope. That said, denomination can matter for some clients. A person’s identified denomination may shape how they understand relationships and life roles. If these differences are important to you, it may be helpful to ask a therapist whether they have experience working with clients from your specific denomination or faith tradition.
Can a Christian therapist help with marriage and couples counseling?
Christian faith-based therapy can take many different forms, including marriage counseling and couples counseling. Some therapists may also offer Christian pre-marital counseling. In these settings, Christian therapists may work with couples on concerns such as communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, parenting, and major life transitions. A Christian therapist may also help couples explore how shared Christian beliefs shape the relationship. They may encourage you and your partner to practice skills learned in therapy in your everyday lives, including both faith-based practices and non-faith-based tools, such as prayer or communication skills.
Can a Christian therapist help with sensitive issues like sex, trauma, or addiction?
Licensed therapists with adequate training should be equipped to help with a number of sensitive issues, including sex, trauma, and addiction. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may help explore how your spiritual beliefs relate to your challenges, healing, and recovery. A competent and ethical Christian therapist should not judge, shame, or impose a particular belief when discussing these topics, and if you feel judged, it may be time to seek another therapist.
How can a Christian therapist support family therapy?
Christian family therapy can help families address conflict, communication challenges, parenting concerns, grief, or adjustment following a major life transition. A Christian therapist may support family members in understanding one another’s perspectives, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and rebuilding trust. For families who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may also help explore how family values related to Christianity can support healing.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with Christian clients?
If religion is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Christian clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask how they incorporate Christian values into therapy or how they approach certain topics that matter to you. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A strong therapeutic alliance does not necessarily require a therapist to share your religious background, but they should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
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 and have identified as Christian. It shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.
