Life is hard! Whether it be due to anxiety, school, work, life transitions, grief, break-ups, and a host of other issues, there’s no way of denying this universal reality. And while our challenges may currently put a cloud over everything we do, I believe that these obstacles do not need to define us, and that there is a path forward towards greater health and wholeness. To get to this desired destination, I create a safe space where I partner with my clients to identify and address the difficulties that they face and collaboratively create goals and outcomes that they would like to see in their lives.

I specialize in EMDR Processing and DBT skills therapy, and I work with trauma survivors. I'm a survivor of trauma, and I know the truth is ugly. It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and it’s often times scary. You do not have to go through alone. I am a trauma specialist trained to get you results, and that looks like joy that never leaves. Peace that comes from within. A soul that blossoms all year round.

You've been dealing with this thing forever–depression, anxiety, or maybe just that relationship issue that keeps popping up. That thing that makes you question your relationship or inevitably leads to its dissolution. You don't need somebody to tell you "what" it is, you've lived with it for this long and you're fairly clear on that point. But "why"? Why is it there? What is motivating it? Why does "this" keep happening? What are the unseen forces that you feel, but can't seem to name? Until we know why, we can never get down to the root of the problem–we will only be dealing with the symptoms and not the cause.

Life can hurt.

Are you feeling lonely, isolated, or stuck? Perhaps your life looks great on the outside but on the inside you feel like falling apart. You dread what will happen when people find out "the truth"about you.

It can be incredibly healing to have someone witness what you usually have to keep locked up on the inside! I come alongside adults 18 and up who are seeking to live life with more freedom and less shame or fear.

You don't have to wait for something big to happen to seek therapy. Often it's small things that you quietly carry that add up. Maybe the family role you took on or your usual coping skills aren't working for you anymore. Or you became a parent, and your kid's meltdown somehow became your meltdown, and you're starting to wonder what that's actually about. There may be stressors at work or perhaps your child needs help and you aren't sure where to turn. Or your faith/spiritual beliefs feel a little unstable and aren't providing the comfort they used to. Thankfully you don't have to figure it out alone; I can help.

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.
