If you've experienced trauma, anxiety, or abuse, you know how it affects your relationships & other areas of life. You know how isolating it can feel; how it can make you feel helpless and without hope. I help people who feel alone and believe there's no relief. If you want to stop being anxious, sad, & hypervigilant, I'd love to help you stop depression, trauma, or anxiety from intruding into your days and nights. I can help you start living life in the here and now rather than the past, and regain your life so you can have a healthy relationship with yourself and other people.

I support adults navigating a variety of challenges including trauma, anxiety, systemic oppression, poverty, educational barriers, familial & relationship ruptures, and life transitions. Many have experienced domestic violence, racial bias, discrimination, or justice system involvement. They seek a space to be seen without judgment, speak without fear, and heal without shame — reclaiming their voice, restoring peace, and rewriting the narratives that once defined them.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Christian minister , I specialize in bridging the gap between mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
We are living in a time of profound uncertainty—an era that has deepened social isolation and strained emotional well-being. Longstanding concerns such as depression, anxiety, domestic violence, substance abuse, and suicide have not only persisted but, in many cases, worsened in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges have erected new barriers to connection, healing, and personal growth.

Life can feel nonstop and overwhelming. There is always something to do, respond to, or catch up on. Many people end up feeling either buried in responsibilities or avoiding them just to get a break—neither brings real relief, and the cycle continues. Over time, this stress starts to affect your mood, energy, and relationships. You may feel more irritable, drained, or less patient with others. Even simple tasks can start to feel heavy, and motivation can drop. For many, this has quietly become their normal. Does this sound like you? If so, are you ready to stop this cycle of self-abuse?

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.
