Christian Therapists in Franklin, TN
Life feels like a constant juggling act. Between work, family, and caring for loved ones, the weight of responsibilities has left you drained and disconnected from yourself. On top of the exhaustion, that inner critic will not let up, reminding you of every shortcoming and insisting you are not doing enough. You feel stuck in a loop of guilt and self-doubt, tired of white-knuckling your way through each day. What you long for is a calmer mind, gentler self-talk, and the space to breathe again. You are ready to find balance, set boundaries, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong and whole.

I believe that people are made to flourish in healthy relationships. We experience the most pain and difficulties in these relationships and often shut off our hearts to try and survive. Addiction, trauma, anxiety, grief, and a host of other troubles may set our lives back and in a downward spiral. I love to work with Christians who want to recover the life God has called them to. I use a person-centered approach to engage with people’s stories and relationships focusing on core emotions and approaches for achieving personal transformation. "In our weakness, His power is made known."

I decided to become a therapist because of my own struggles with mental health issues especially as an adolescent and young adult. I want to take these awful experiences and use them as motivation to help others. If you are an over thinker, I believe I can help. I work with engineers, executives, health care professionals, teachers, and pretty much any person who is in a profession that tends to reward perfectionism and over analysis.

If desired, I also provide therapy from a faith-based perspective incorporating Christian faith with evidence-based practices.
It is truly a privilege to witness people experience growth, healing, and long lasting change.

I am honored to work with clients who feel stuck, have anxious & overwhelmed thoughts, are mentally, emotionally, & physically exhausted, and in need of hope and healing! Many come from helping professions, are creatives, empaths/HSP, spiritually seeking, or in a season of transition such as college, mid-life, or empty nest and are wanting support along the way. These clients desire a safe place to discover their true voice, process grief, or find a new path forward. I believe every person already has the gifts, tools, and resilience within, yet may need a pioneer to help mine, make meaning, and empower toward lasting change.

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.
