The perinatal season and first responder field can be gratifying yet also introduce enormous changes in family dynamics and relationships. Whether a new parent or first responder, experiencing tragedy personally and or secondarily, expectations for a new mother or first responder can be high and too often dismissive of the unique stressors involved with making a new human or in the field. When unpredicted changes happen, people can feel alone, isolated, and afraid to give voice to their vulnerabilities. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience in working with the perinatal and first responder population.

I work with a variety of clients who are struggling with life challenges and mental health concerns. Examples include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, PTSD and more. It is also an honor for me to be able to process trauma with individuals using various techniques to heal some of those wounds you have had recently or perhaps all your life, especially veterans. Similarly, the journey of grief is different for everyone so walking with people or families through grief is a strength of mine. I am familiar with learning differences, standardized testing, and other school issues are also challenges I am ready to help you face.

I understand that it takes much strength to seek out assistance when needed. I believe we are not made to live in isolation, and we do best when we are part of a community. By recognizing the events that have formed us in life, we can learn from them and become a better version of ourselves.

Ok the hardest part is over! and you are here. Let’s talk about the issues that are causing challenges to your mental health hygiene. That’s right, I did mean hygiene. So often we have been led to believe hygiene was just physical, but far from the contrarily, we need to maintain good mental health habits to maintain good behavioral patterns and sound judgement. You will find this therapeutic alliance to be a “non-Judgement zone.” My clients would describe my approach as insightful, supportive, and challenging. I have been told my therapy sessions are a welcome release to have an opportunity to be heard, grow and closure.

Christian faith can be integrated if desired.
Have you done a lot of work on yourself, but feel stuck in the same patterns? You may understand your triggers, your past, and relationships, but when it matters most, you still feel overwhelmed, shut down, anxious, or pulled back into the same cycles. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware adults who are tired of carrying everything alone. They often struggle with people-pleasing, overgiving, difficulty trusting themselves, or feeling emotionally disconnected in relationships. Some are healing from painful experiences with parents, past partners, or faith communities that shaped how they see themselves, others, and God.

Reaching out for help can be a significant first step when you are stuck and working toward change. Perhaps depression or anxiety are draining your energy. Perhaps you are struggling with one of the key relationships in your life such as with your kids, spouse, significant other, parents, friends, or co-workers. I help individuals move closer to their goals of greater hope, joy, peace, and connection.

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.
