Christian Therapists in Hilliard, OH
From a Biblical- Christian worldview, I integrate faith with evidence-based care to support healing, restore hope, and strengthen connection.
Depression, anxiety, and the weight of daily stress can leave you feeling isolated, lonely, or disconnected—from yourself or your partner. These feelings often show up in subtle but painful ways, affecting communication, parenting, intimacy, trust, and stealing our motivation to embrace the things or people we used to love. Whether you’re facing challenges as a couple or on your own, it doesn’t mean you are broken. These struggles are part of the human experience. With the right support, it’s possible to feel heard, understood, and reconnected—to yourself and to those you love.

Life is hard. It doesn’t give breaks, or breathers, or care how hectic your day is. Worst of all, life convinces you that your troubles are entirely your own and everyone else has it all together.
The reality is, others share your heartache, anxiety, or trauma. We sit with them. We hear them. Together we find a path through it to manage all that life throws at us. Let me sit and walk with you.

Life is hard AND there is hope! As my clients work through their issues/concerns, it is a joy and honor to walk alongside them and show them that hope.
I have been extensively trained in working with Perinatal Mood Disorders. Since 2013, I have worked with many women as they struggled and then overcame their struggle.
I have a heart for helping people to integrate all grief/loss into their life in a positive way, while still feeling their feelings and being real.
In regard to spiritual abuse, I have great empathy for those who have trusted and then been so deeply hurt by others.

You may look like you have it all together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain. Many of the people I work with are carrying unresolved grief, trauma, or emotional pain that has quietly shaped how they relate to themselves and others. They’re functioning—but exhausted—and often wonder why things still feel so heavy despite their best efforts. I work with young adults and middle-aged adults navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, low self-worth, and PTSD, especially those who feel deeply responsible for others yet struggle to feel grounded or at peace themselves.

It's a pretty overwhelming, anxious, contentious, busy time right now with so many things competing for our attention seemingly all at once. Who doesn't feel the gravity of the distraction over doing what we know we need to do?
I specialize in treating ADHD and in relationship counseling (marriage and family) to provide opportunities for clients to develop better, more personal coping, systems to better manage your everyday tasks, work on motivational issues, increase assertiveness, improve communication, and repair/build relationships. I also specialize in addiction issues, to build hope and confidence you can face the cravings.

Working with Christian women who are burnt out, overwhelmed and anxious is a passion of mine.
Tired? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Feeling like you don't measure up? Worried God can't use you? My approach to treating women with anxiety is to dive into your story and help you identify where it all started. Stressful childhood, lots of pressure, peer rejections, and empathy for the woes of the world will lead to anxiety. Maybe your upbringing lead to unhealthy ways of thinking, or rejection lead to beating yourself up. Better understanding your story and your internal dialogue will loosen the grip of anxiety and overwhelm. Understanding how your brain works allows for few changes to your thinking and your routine to help you thrive.

CO-PARENTS: Do you find yourself in constant conflict with your child's other parent? Whether living apart or together, even the friendliest of co-parents have differences in how to raise their kids. But, it's not typical to experience unending conflict over every parenting decision; and it may surprise you to learn that 15 years of experience tells me it's probably not actually a parenting fight that brings you back to that "here we go again" feeling. If you find yourself in a never-ending cycle of fighting, passive-agression, and feeling stuck with your co-parenting decisions, contact me.

You might look like you have it together on the outside but inside, your mind won’t slow down.
Anxiety, pressure, or past experiences can make even everyday life feel exhausting. You’re constantly thinking, pushing, and trying to keep up… but it never really feels like enough.
You don’t have to keep carrying that alone.
I work with people who are used to being the strong one, the ones others rely on, who are ready to finally feel more steady, clear, and in control again.
Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and build a way forward that actually feels sustainable.

One of the most painful things in life is seeing your child struggling and not knowing what to do about it. Maybe right now, your once happy-go-lucky daughter is sad more often than not. Maybe she has recently experienced a traumatic event, and is isolating from you and her friends. Or maybe your son, who used to go through life carefree, is crippled by a fear that holds him back from trying new things and making friends. You may feel alone and at the end of your rope, completely unsure of what to do or how to help your child feel like themselves again.

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.
