I am well versed in Christian counseling.
I’m passionate about helping adolescents, adults, and the elderly heal their hearts. Although there’s differences, I strongly believe that we’re all driven by an innate need to fill a true sense of worth, value, and identity. I’ve found more times than not that past hurts and traumas, negative talk, criticalness, and rejection especially in the early years tend to not only fracture our sense-of-self but propel us to continue to experience even more hurt, pain, failed relationships, loneliness, and unfulfillment. Is this affecting you personally and professionally? I can also help men with ‘men issues’.

I specialize in Faith-based/Christian counseling, as well as traditional counseling.
Change requires a commitment. A willingness to grow, recognize issues, learn, and use previous strengths to cope. It is not always a simple process, but, it is an opportunity to heal. Therapy can be that change agent, even when times and situations seem almost too difficult to cope with. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My clients are adult women and men, adolescents (ages 15-17), and couples and families.

Perhaps life has been extremely challenging lately (e.g., struggling to find balance in managing the kids, relationships and/or a stressful career) and you are feeling unable to adequately attend to your own emotional needs. Maybe unprocessed trauma (e.g., childhood abuse/neglect, workplace or racial) experiences are affecting your relationships and keeping you from living your best life. Could it be that women’s health issues (e.g., infertility, PCOS or PMDD) or men's health issues have left you feeling helpless? Yes, I see you. Regardless of the challenge, I am here to let you know that there is hope!

One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving for nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.

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.
