“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain. But you are not the rain.” – Matt Haig We all need the opportunity in our lives to be seen, heard, and validated and therapy is a safe place to find that. Whether it’s coping with stress, processing difficult emotions, adapting to life changes, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or ADHD, I am here to see, hear, and validate you.

If you’re here, it’s because something in your life or your child’s life feels heavy, overwhelming, or stuck. And I want you to know this: you don’t have to carry it alone anymore. I specialize in helping children, families, and individuals navigate the pain they often don’t have words for whether it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, or confusing behavior patterns that seem impossible to break. My approach is deeply compassionate, warm, and rooted in genuine connection. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, understood, and supported, not judged or rushed.

Feeling unsure about whether to stay in your relationship or move toward separation can be one of the most difficult and emotionally draining places to be. Many couples find themselves stuck; wanting clarity, but not knowing how to move forward. I work with individuals and couples who are at a crossroads in their relationship and are seeking a thoughtful, structured way to decide what comes next. I provide Discernment Counseling, a short-term, focused approach designed specifically for couples where one or both partners are uncertain about the future of the relationship. This process is different from traditional couples therapy.

For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that thoughtfully incorporates Christian values and beliefs into the therapeutic process.
Motherhood can be beautiful and deeply overwhelming all at once. If you’re feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, carrying the invisible weight of everything, or wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore, you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or the many identity shifts that come with motherhood, therapy can provide a space to slow down, process honestly, and find support.

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.
