I also offer counseling from a Christian perspective upon request.
Life can be hard, messy, and complicated but can also be filled with joy, peace, and true connection with others. We all go through struggles and challenges in our lives and sometimes we just need someone to walk alongside us during the journey. I enjoy working with individuals to elicit the change necessary to heal, grow, and live more fulfilled lives. I would be honored to walk alongside and be that person for you.

I specialize in addressing childhood trauma and incorporating Christian faith with specialized therapy services to support you.
Many of our struggles in adulthood have stemmed from responses in childhood. Even in the earliest years of life, we are learning communication styles, coping strategies, and emotional regulation skills. Sometimes what we have learned doesn't serve us as well and comes out in anxiety, anger, depression, or avoidance. In gardening, the unwanted or overgrown parts of a plant must be trimmed back or cut away to allow for growth. Sometimes, we need to do the same in our life. Pruning enhances growth by removing what inhibits us. I’m here to help you remove the unwanted thoughts, behaviors, and habits in order to help you grow!

For those clients who so desire, I specialize in integration of Christian faith into sessions, in a manner that is comfortable for clients at any stage in their faith walk.
I have over 25 years of experience working with at-risk youth (10 years old and up), adults, families and couples. I partner with them to help them overcome significant difficulties and trauma from the past, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse and neglect. I firmly believe that identity (who you are) and behavior (what you do) are two distinct things. Your behavior does not determine your identity. I help my clients to examine core beliefs that are contributing to their current difficulties, to help them to decide which ones are true and helpful, and which ones are not, to bring about true and lasting change.

As a Christian, I am confident that God is for you, and light can shine through the darkness.
Are you wrestling with hard questions? Questions about grief, sexuality or gender, cultural identity, faith, or what's next? No matter what difficulties you are facing, there is hope and a path forward available.

You are your story, and you are more. You are strong, brave, courageous. We humans are angry, sad, confused, lonely, ashamed- can these be turned to good? We are deeply discouraged, seek forgiveness, or require a mirror to understand our need. We fear, we desire. In our noisy stimulating world we long for silence in our soul, to listen, so that we might know what we are called to do.

An area of passion for me is helping to restore broken relationships- anything from healing infidelity to growing in communication. I long to help clients give voice to their pain, to articulate the challenge and to offer support in the journey. I balance that work with my love for working with women's issues- this can include anything from infertility, loss/grief, and post-partum transition or women who have just lost themselves along the way. I am thankful for the opportunity to support women and their partners in these seasons.

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.
