Deeply gratifying relationships take work and aren't always easy. If your relationship is struggling, or if you're thinking, "we need a tune-up," I'd love to help. I follow Gottman's research-based approach when working with couples. Do you feel like you and your significant other speak two different languages? A couple's biggest goal is often to improve communication and understanding which often includes feeling heard, decreasing conflict, being respected, gaining the ability to accept influence from one another, and being each other's best friend and teammate rather than just allies.

Finding a new therapist can be hard. I believe that the most important part of therapy is having the right fit with the right therapist. In order to be open to the process you have to feel comfortable with your provider. Therapy should be a tool to find personal strengths and develop new resources. Therapy is a good place to start looking at where you might be stuck and searching for new strategies to add to your life. I hope that I can be a part of your journey.

We all have a purpose in life; for some, it is clear from an early age, and for others, it may take some time. You may be at the crossroads of trying to figure out your meaning in life or understanding your purpose. It can be difficult and scary to move forward when the path is unclear. Especially, when we have the feeling that we do not have the full picture. I am already proud of you for seeking and asking for help. As the doubt and the “what-ifs” become louder; you may be hesitant in taking the next step. It all starts with understanding yourself

Available for virtual therapy. My main goal as a therapist is to get to know you and your specific needs. It is important to discuss common goals and the specifics you want out of therapy. Please do not worry about judgement here, this is a safe space where we can work together to get you back into the mental space you desire. When I started this journey to become a counselor, my path was in addictions to help those struggling with substance abuse. I started as an intern and later landed in a long term care facility where I helped clients achieve their goals of sobriety.

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.
