Even if a faith approach is not what you want, we can still begin your journey, and while I am a Christian counselor, I will not impose my faith, psychology or anything on you, as I meet you where you are in life and go from there to meet your needs and goals.
I work with teens, kids, adults, and seniors. Do you want to experience things like growth, change, and healing? Are you experiencing challenges in life and even mental health ones? I help by treating the SOURCE of what you are facing. The source is a ‘root cause’ or a ‘seed’ of how it started. Examples of the source include things that happened to you as a child, a current situation, or negative thinking patterns that you may have.

You’re the strong one. The one everyone comes to for help. The one family, friends, and coworkers rely on. But what if the strong one, the loyal one, the one everyone looks to "fix it," needs support too? What if you could flow through your days without the mental pressure of the “have to” or the guilt of not feeling you’re doing enough? What if you could honor your mental and emotional capacity while setting and maintaining healthy boundaries with yourself and others? What if I told you this was possible?

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.
