My passion for working with first responders started during the summer of 2020 during the riots in downtown Portland as I watched day after day of officers on the front lines and kept thinking to myself, "who's keeping an eye out for them?" I have enjoyed learning more about first responder culture and ways I can combine that with my counseling background to help provide first responders with the ability to navigate life outside of the uniform as well as they do while wearing one. This also involves helping them manage the day to day stressors of what they are seeing and doing in response to increasing call volumes.

Counseling is an opportunity for individuals to have an open space to share their story. I work with a variety of age groups including adolescence, teenagers, and adults. I also provide both couples counseling, pre-martial counseling, and individualized counseling. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, Bi-Polar, ADHD/ADD, Autism, Intellectual/Developmental Disability. I use a variety of counseling approaches and understands there is no "one approach fits all." Counseling should be individualized to the individual, their needs, and what they hope to get out of counseling.

My work integrates pastoral care, emotional understanding, and practical guidance.
Many people arrive carrying more than they have words for. Anxiety, relational pain, grief, spiritual fatigue, emotional exhaustion, the slow erosion of a marriage, or a quiet sense of having lost themselves. Some are veterans. Some are men who have carried pressure silently for years. Some are couples trying to find their way back to each other. Others are individuals navigating burnout, faith wounds, trauma, identity, or the weight of transitions they were not prepared for. What they share is a desire for something more honest than surface encouragement, and more grounded than generic advice.

I specialize in Christian counseling, men's issues, and trauma-integrating neuroscience, soul work, and narrative healing.
Men, do you look put-together but feel disconnected inside? Perhaps "holding it together" isn't working anymore. Many men I work with carry anxiety, shame, or unwanted patterns that conflict with the life they desire with God and others. These struggles are not failures of discipline; they are signals from unresolved stories and earlier wounds. My work helps you understand those patterns, reduce internal strain, and move toward a life marked by grounded presence, meaningful connection, and a faith that engages your whole self.

Maybe your marriage is where you feel it most — intimacy has faded, every conversation ends in conflict, and you both walk away hurting. You never had a roadmap; your own parents weren't there, and the people around you seem either fine or too guarded to admit they're not.
It shows up in your parenting too — a sharp word, a child's fallen face, instant regret. You don't want to be that parent, but in the moment you don't know how else to be.
So you find ways to escape the weight of it all, and end up feeling further from the person you want to be.

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.
