Have you been struggling with the same problems, thoughts, or feelings for weeks, months, or even years and can't seem to get them under control? Are your intimate, social, and work relationships being affected by reoccurring problems and thoughts? It's very frustrating when your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are not in line with your values and who you want to be. You know that if you could just learn to let go of the past and focus on the present, then your life and relationships will improve, but you just don't know how. Is there hope?

You may feel stuck despite insight and effort, noticing repeated patterns in relationships, work, or faith. While life may look functional on the outside, internally you may struggle with anxiety, shame, emotional reactivity, or a sense that something essential is missing. You want more than symptom relief—you want to understand how past experiences shaped these patterns and how to live with greater freedom and integrity.

As a therapist, I believe that to have a successful counseling experience, it is critical that you feel fully listened to and understood. I use careful listening and reflecting to join with you to address what is most important to you. I have a compassionate, empathetic style, which I believe is essential for us to move forward as we discuss what is troubling you. I have helped many clients deal with a variety of difficult relationship issues, anxiety and depression, work / life stress, divorces, trauma and abuse. I ensure that you are fully understood and attain the support that you need to deal with life’s difficulties.

I view therapy as an opportunity to recognize the strengths of each person, the uniqueness of each story, and to find ways to use those strengths to create change and growth. I enjoy having the chance to walk alongside people through all types of challenges and triumphs as a willing listener who can provide empathy, a non-judgmental view on current and past experiences, and support to work towards meeting goals.

I provide counseling services that are informed by the contextual backgrounds of your life (i.e. - race, culture, gender, faith, family dynamics, etc.), and adapt the therapeutic process accordingly. Most of my work involves addressing symptoms of anxiety, trauma, grief, and interpersonal conflict with individuals, couples, and families. While also being intentional to deconstruct and challenge the impacts of oppression on the lives of marginalized communities.

Seeking a counselor can be a daunting experience and I commend you for your courage in taking this step. I work primarily with adult individuals, teens, couples, and adult families who desire to create space to work on areas of concern in their lives and relationships. I work with people to get to the ‘thing beneath the thing’ of what they are experiencing and struggling with as individuals, couples, and families so that they can move from minimizing, avoidance, self-contempt, etc.. towards a compassionate self-awareness, recovery, greater coping, balance in life, development of new understandings and skills, and thriving.

Our lives can become burdened with fear, hurt, anxiety, shame, and despair—but there is hope. Counseling provides space for you to gently explore what is burdening you and work towards living the life you intend. My approach to counseling is integrative, drawing primarily from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Counseling. I work with OCD and anxiety disorders and am trained in providing Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. I have also received training in SPACE, a parent coaching treatment for children with anxiety disorders.

I work with individuals (teens and adults) and couples from diverse backgrounds and life stages, offering both warmth and structure in the therapeutic process. My style is practical and problem-solving in nature: together, we’ll break down complex concerns into manageable steps, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build skills that support lasting wellbeing. I also provide concrete tools you can use between sessions—strategies you can take home, practice, and apply in daily life. To support this work, I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT and the Gottman Method for couples.

I especially enjoy working with those interested in exploring:
socialized masculinity and sexuality (e.g. regulating sexual behaviors / OCSB-informed, desire discrepancy, body image, values and beliefs...),
the specific interaction between Christian faith and sexuality (e.g. shame, trauma, integration...),
navigating identities and values in general,
surviving dating,
working through life transitions,
and living with anxiety and depression.
I also offer Life Coaching services (separate from therapy) irrespective of location. Please email / visit my site for further details.
Otherwise: mental health services are specifically and currently limited to the state of WA.

Life is full of unexpected twists and disappointments and there are times when we can feel overwhelmed. Our emotions are not good or bad, they offer signals of what may be wrong or need attention. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, burnout, depression and relationship issues. I am passionate about working with couples to identify unhealthy patterns, areas where they are stuck and develop internal and external boundaries. Often it is in a relationship with others where we are harmed, but it is also in relationship with God and others where we can find healing.

Living with anxiety or OCD is miserable! I have worked with anxiety and OCD for almost a decade and enjoy helping kids, teens and adults break free from the limitations and distress that anxiety creates in daily life. Often I see clients who are discouraged that talk therapy or other treatments have not been helpful. Research consistently demonstrates the importance of evidence-based treatment for moderate to severe anxiety and OCD. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is essential for successful treatment.

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.
