I am Christian-educated if you would like include spirituality in your counseling.
Does your life seem overwhelming? Do you feel worthless, alone or depressed? Do you try to improve your relationships, but nothing seems to help? Possibly you ruminate on circumstances from your past which robs you of a peaceful present. This may cause depression and/or anxiety, which makes your life difficult. You may feel completely alone in this. I have also struggled with these issues, and found a lot of healing through therapy. I am confident that you can too. Are you ready to make changes in your life so you can have a joy-filled future? I believe this is possible for you!

However, I am a Christian and where desired by clients I integrate Christian and Biblical principles in my practice.
As a counselor, it is my desire to provide a caring and safe environment where individuals and couples can discuss, explore, and resolve issues of concern in their lives. Areas of concern can be as simple as a feeling of being "stuck", dealing with specific difficulties in life, a desire for more fulfilling relationships, or assistance in navigating a time of change or transition. As a compassionate listener, my practice is based on a Person Centered approach to counseling. I consider each client to have their own unique life story and experiences and tailor my approach to their specific counseling needs, interests, and desires.

Traditional, in-person, face-to-face psychotherapy. I have over 20 years experience in offering something substantive in a field full of quick fixes and surface change. Maybe you have been through counseling before and found that concrete coping strategies and tools didn't make a dent, or you have never engaged in therapy and are looking for an open space to explore and dig in deeply. If you're struggling with long-standing emotional or relational difficulties, it may be time to address the root causes of these things. I would be honored to help you change your life, your relationships, and yourself in deep and lasting ways.

The influence of our surroundings makes a significant impact on what we believe and who we become. Sometimes, those around us share their opinions and expectations so freely that it silences our own needs and desires. Therapy is a place where your thoughts and feelings can be heard and understood- without the fear of judgment. I work with the intention of helping clients understand the past, so that they can live in the moment and find hope in the future. I will support you on the journey of self-discovery by providing insights as well as tangible tools to make the journey more enjoyable, even when it's tough.

Moving through life is like writing a book. We are all composing our own stories. Sometimes we get stuck, due to choices, events or behaviors. It’s like a bookmark getting put in the pages of our story and when we try to move forward, the pages fall open to that bookmarked, painful memory. With the help of therapy, we can heal from that pain and take the bookmark out of the book of our life. The pages remain, but they serve to make us stronger & wiser as we fill in the empty page before us today. By learning new skills and gaining the ability to adapt, we can move forward with a sense of purpose and peace.

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.
