I enjoy working with anyone and do not push spirituality, but if you are looking for christian counseling I have specific experience and education in blending counseling with faith.
Counseling seems like a strange thing. You are supposed to tell a stranger all the intimate details about yourself and focus on the worst parts of your life - and pay for it! It sounds horrible, but counseling can be a wonderful and transformational experience in someone's life. Having healthy conversation with someone who is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and trained to help can really help you take the steps you have always wanted. I would love to see if this strange thing can transform your life.

Do you regularly hear a voice that says “I’m not good enough”? Do you feel out of control and powerless against your emotions? Anxiety can be overwhelming. You have experienced it for a long time but dealing with it on your own has proven to be unsuccessful. You want to talk about it but others tend not to understand and their attempts to fix you can feel shaming. Perhaps you are experiencing struggles in your marriage or partnership. You have grown apart from your loved one and don’t know how to salvage things. There is one good thing about these realizations for you; now you know you need a real change. Fortunately, there is hope.
