My ideal clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel emotionally or relationally stuck despite being self-aware and capable. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, or a disconnect between their faith and emotional life. Many are seeking depth, clarity, and healing that aligns with both psychological insight and their values. They are motivated to reflect, engage in the work, and grow with intention.

You may feel stuck in patterns you understand logically but struggle to change emotionally. Perhaps stress, overwhelm, emotional eating, or ongoing challenges in relationships have become ways of coping, even though they no longer serve you. You’re motivated for change, yet frustrated by cycles of short-term progress followed by setbacks. You want lasting relief, greater self-trust, and healthier relationships—with food, your body, and the people in your life.

You’re doing a lot to keep things together—but underneath, it still feels overwhelming. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument and nothing actually changes. Maybe your child is struggling and you’re second-guessing everything. Or maybe you’re the one holding it all, and you’re exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. This is where we slow things down and figure out what’s really going on. I use approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman-informed work, Family Systems, EMDR, and CBT—but more importantly, I tailor things to what actually fits you and your situation.

Are you having life stress, feeling overwhelmed, anxiety or depression? Need assistance with parenting, having transition issues, or just need someone to talk to and get insight and awareness to difficulties you may be experiencing? I believe everyone should have at least ONE person they can talk to without judgments, opinions or telling you what you SHOULD do. I enjoy working with individuals to meet them where they are, identify their strengths and utilize those strengths to improve functioning and bring about the change one desires.

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.
