As clients desire, I welcome the integration of the Christian narrative, art activities, and mindfulness exercises into our time together.
We live in stressful times. I help clients of all ages manage stress and anxiety, navigate life transitions, employ healthy boundaries, and effectively communicate their desires and needs. Some sense they are stuck in the stuff of life. Others keenly feel the tension of our political climate, the election, and global events. Many come seeking greater understanding of their stories and formative relationships. What they all hold in common is that they are simply, and profoundly, human.

Therapy for COMEDIANS dealing with anxiety and depression. Being a comedian isn't easy. While your friends are getting married, having children and buying mansions back home, you’re schlepping yourself to open mic nights and chasing your dream, well at least before the pandemic. You’re emotionally vulnerable on stage and worry about going viral for the wrong reasons. It’s hard to share these fears with others. Comics get it but they’re too busy doing shtick rather than listening to you. And if you’re a female comic, it's worse because you’re mostly surrounded by male comics and battling lame societal stereotypes. I can help.

There can be moments in our life where we are overwhelmed with the struggles we are experiencing. We can feel lost, confused, hopeless, stressed, depressed, stuck, worthless, embarrassed, ashamed, angry, the list goes on. Perhaps, you think that you can’t move on, things will never change, nobody cares, or you're all alone… If you can relate, I understand why you’d want these unpleasant thoughts and feelings to disappear. It can be dreadful and exhausting living with this weight on your shoulders.

I consider it a privilege to work with my clients. I believe the client-therapist relationship is a sacred one where clients are able to examine aspects of themselves and their lives they may have never revealed to others that can be held respectfully and empathically in that relationship. In a safe space, we will explore and process the internal and external experiences and challenges keeping you from living in wholeness. Through this therapeutic relationship and space, healing from past and current pains and unhealthy cycles can occur and lead towards psychological, emotional, relational and spiritual health and resilience.

This is a space where worry, stress, and struggles are welcome– a place for perfectionists and overthinkers to pause and rest. If you’ve been living in a constant state of stress and dysregulation, this space is for you. Perhaps your life experiences have taught you to numb or make yourself small just to get through the day. Maybe you struggle navigating boundaries, wondering where your own needs and experiences fit in. Sometimes the patterns we come to rely on, just don’t work for us anymore. This is a space for you to unravel, to heal, to grieve, and ultimately, when you are ready, to hope.

I help people who might be asking themselves, "Why do I keep feeling this way?" If you're stuck in patterns that don't seem to change, or you're unsure why you're struggling, we're going to explore what's really going on beneath the surface. I work with creatives in the music and entertainment industry, entrepreneurs, Asian-American men, athletes, couples, and individuals navigating life transitions. Some of the challenges I currently work with include relationship issues, codependency, emotionally immature parents, late-diagnosed ADHD or Autism, burnout, grief, social anxiety, depression, and trauma.

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.
