I offer premarital counseling, new father, teens and children, pastoral support, and corporate support.
I especially look forward to working with men who want to be great husbands and fathers but may be struggling to do so. In general, men want tools and order to solve problems. My education combined with my background in the military (Army) and college basketball gives me insight into what tools and direction will help men to become what God made them to be.

If your mind won’t slow down — even when life looks fine on the outside — you’re not alone. I work with women who are used to carrying a great deal emotionally but feel exhausted by the pressure to keep doing so. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, stress, relationship challenges, and difficulty slowing their thoughts enough to truly rest. Therapy with me is practical, honest, and collaborative, creating space for both insight and lasting change.

While I honor and respect each person’s beliefs, I also offer the option to integrate faith into the therapeutic process for those who desire a Christian perspective.
After experiencing a life-altering trauma that reshaped my sense of safety, security, and hope, I found restoration—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—through the care of a wise and compassionate therapist. That journey not only brought healing but helped clarify my calling: to walk with others toward wholeness and renewed purpose. With over 20 years of experience in youth ministry, I returned to school, graduated in May '24, and in December '24 received my associate license in Marriage and Family Therapy. I offer a nurturing and faith-affirming space for children, teens, couples, families, and individuals seeking restoration.

The first time looking through Psychology Today profiles can be overwhelming. It can still be overwhelming even if you’ve done it many times. You may already be feeling so stuck, so low, so unmotivated and maybe even be asking yourself the question, “what’s wrong with me?” If that’s the case, going through these profiles with so many words can feel like a lot. There is no shame in feeling that way and you are certainly not alone. My hope for you and everyone looking for help is that you can find a space where you feel safe and connected to work on why you are struggling.

Many of the women I work with are used to being the strong one, the one who holds everything together, anticipates everyone’s needs, and keeps pushing even when they feel disconnected from themselves. On the outside, it may look like anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries. Underneath, it often feels like losing your voice, questioning your worth, and not knowing who you are outside of who others need you to be.

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.
