Maybe you've tried to change your compulsive behavior and it seems impossible. Or you've hit a wall in your key relationship, and your discouragement keeps you from taking action. Perhaps you feel burdened by trauma in your past and it still weighs on you.
The truth is that your life doesn't have to stay as it is. Your habits don't have to stay the way they are. And you certainly don't have to be mired in guilt or shame.

Getting up in the morning, you wish you had a sense of joy. Work is dreadful. Endless meetings and classes leave you feeling the numb. You feel too dried out to pray or read scripture. Church services have become chores rather than hope. A nagging sense of your old family "stuff" is weighing you down. Feeling good has become a wish rather than an experience. You're not alone. Life doesn't have to be this way.

Waitlist for new clients
You feel like you should have it together by now, but instead you’re stuck juggling anxiety, neurodivergence, old wounds from family or faith, or the strain of caregiving. Life keeps piling on, responsibilities grow, and the noise inside and out gets louder. You want space to breathe, feel calmer, and be less self-critical. My clients are capable, creative, and deeply motivated. They come to make sense of overwhelm and begin living with more balance, clarity, and meaning.
For caregivers needing more immediate support, short-term Parent Support Consults are available.

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.
