I invite you to reach out to me or another Christian counselor for help…
After pastoring for 7 years and working on the mission field for 5 years, I found myself in a mental and spiritual crisis confounded by a crippling addiction. By God’s Grace, through wise counselors and taking healthy steps, I found healing. My calling now is to walk together with those who seek freedom, faith, and hope that can be found in Jesus and his blue print for the abundant life. My passion is to help others remove obstacles that keep them from living the abundant life.

For clients who wish to incorporate their faith into therapy, I'm happy to offer a Christian perspective.
I enjoy working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment concerns, and unhealthy or toxic relationships. You don't need to have experienced significant trauma or have a difficult past to benefit from therapy, though. Sometimes we all need extra support to navigate life's many stressors, and everyone is welcome.

As a Christian counselor, I offer a space where you can stop performing and be honest about this transition.
Motherhood can feel like a sudden, overwhelming shift where the pressure to be the perfect mom collides with the reality of anxiety, exhaustion, and feeling like you are failing at every turn. If you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, grief over your lost identity, or the silent weight of postpartum anxiety and depression, I want you to know you are not broken, and you do not have to carry this alone.

Because of my licensure in pastoral counseling I am also able to integrate faith to the comfort and desired level of each individual.

Brene Brown says the two most important words in the English language are "Me too." So often when we're walking through a tough season or simply trying to make it through life while carrying trauma wounds we can feel as though we are walking alone. I believe the counseling room is a sacred space where I get the opportunity to bear witness to my clients pushing back against the darkness every day. The work is hard, but the outcomes are remarkable. I can't wait to watch you overcome that darkness too.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Many silently carry the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or self-concept struggles, believing it's just part of life. But ignoring your emotions or minimizing your needs can lead to deeper, long-term distress, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Specializing in the invisible wounds and unspoken burdens that can steal our joy, I’m passionate about helping others experience the freedom and healing I know firsthand is possible.

As a temperament counselor, I give clients a questionnaire to complete in order to help them identify their core/soul needs. Once a client understands their temperament, we can develop a strategy to live a life that is more stable and fruitful. Teens who struggle to understand their identity, self worth and passions are also favorite clients. Premarital counseling is so vital to set a solid foundation before entering into the marriage union. Marriage counseling is important and necessary for strong families and communities which I spend a fair amount of time navigating these unions.

There you are again in the middle of it again, saying yes when you mean no, putting things off, that quiet inner voice turning critical. A part of you knows better, and still, here you are, living in two timelines at once, present on the outside, unsettled within. One moment it’s overwhelm, the next it’s numbness all while wanting peace and quiet. Even good change feels risky, like stepping away from what’s familiar. And in this moment, you feel like a failure but, these aren’t failures, they’re old survival patterns, still trying to protect you.

FAQ - About Christian Counselling
What can a Christian therapist help with?
Many Christian counselors incorporate faith-based principles into psychotherapy and draw guidance from biblical writings. This approach may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing concerns related to faith, prolonged grief, substance use, or questions about life’s purpose. Christian therapists may also offer marital, premarital, or family counseling. These can be helpful options if your concerns are more relational in nature, such as communication challenges in a marriage, conflict within a family, or adjustment following a major family transition, such as divorce or a move.
How does Christian faith shape the therapy experience?
Christian faith can shape the therapy experience by giving you a familiar framework for discussing meaning, purpose, forgiveness, relationships, and hope in sessions. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may draw on Christian values, prayer, or spiritual reflection alongside other therapeutic approaches. In addition, while training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has shown that a strong alliance between you and your 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. Nevertheless, an ethical Christian therapist should be clear about how they incorporate faith and should respect the level of spiritual discussion that feels right for you.
Does Christian therapy work across different denominations?
Christian therapy can be helpful for people from various different Christian traditions, including Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and Anglican backgrounds. Many Christian therapists are able to support clients across denominations by focusing on shared Christian values, such as faith, prayer, forgiveness, and hope. That said, denomination can matter for some clients. A person’s identified denomination may shape how they understand relationships and life roles. If these differences are important to you, it may be helpful to ask a therapist whether they have experience working with clients from your specific denomination or faith tradition.
Can a Christian therapist help with marriage and couples counseling?
Christian faith-based therapy can take many different forms, including marriage counseling and couples counseling. Some therapists may also offer Christian pre-marital counseling. In these settings, Christian therapists may work with couples on concerns such as communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, parenting, and major life transitions. A Christian therapist may also help couples explore how shared Christian beliefs shape the relationship. They may encourage you and your partner to practice skills learned in therapy in your everyday lives, including both faith-based practices and non-faith-based tools, such as prayer or communication skills.
Can a Christian therapist help with sensitive issues like sex, trauma, or addiction?
Licensed therapists with adequate training should be equipped to help with a number of sensitive issues, including sex, trauma, and addiction. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may help explore how your spiritual beliefs relate to your challenges, healing, and recovery. A competent and ethical Christian therapist should not judge, shame, or impose a particular belief when discussing these topics, and if you feel judged, it may be time to seek another therapist.
How can a Christian therapist support family therapy?
Christian family therapy can help families address conflict, communication challenges, parenting concerns, grief, or adjustment following a major life transition. A Christian therapist may support family members in understanding one another’s perspectives, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and rebuilding trust. For families who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may also help explore how family values related to Christianity can support healing.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with Christian clients?
If religion is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Christian clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask how they incorporate Christian values into therapy or how they approach certain topics that matter to you. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A strong therapeutic alliance does not necessarily require a therapist to share your religious background, but they should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
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 and have identified as Christian. It shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.
