Thank you for your interest in RESTORE COUNSELING SERVICES - inspiring hope and supporting change. One of the biggest misconceptions about counseling is that only "crazy" people get therapy. In fact, seeking professional counseling reflects sound judgment and determination to "live your best life". My clients are adult women and men. They comment on the ease with which they can discuss issues and the high degree of professionalism and expertise exhibited. I am proficient in Faith-based/Christian counseling, competent and sensitive in assisting multi-cultural clientele.

I work with young adults and adults, offering sessions through telehealth. I specialize in treating chronic insomnia through CBT-I, which is a short, structured, and evidence-based treatment for insomnia. I also specialize in working with anxiety disorders and depression, and I sometimes see these co-occurring with insomnia. Perhaps you have been trying to work through this on your own or hoping it would just resolve itself, but you have reached a point where you would like some extra support. I'm always honored when a client chooses me as that extra support, and I take the responsibility very seriously.

It is the constant anxiety and the thoughts that seem overwhelming. It is the racing heart, shortness of breath and inability to stop thinking about the mistakes or stressful situations. You find yourself struggling to stay connected and trust others. You feel like you have lost control of many things in your life. It has become difficult to concentrate at work or at school, and the memories and thoughts keep playing in your head. You no longer enjoy your present, as you spend so much time thinking about the past and what the future holds for you. With the right treatment, things don’t need to be this way.

In envisioning my ideal client, I see someone who is motivated and committed to their own growth and well-being. Despite struggling with various challenges, they possess a deep resilience and a desire for positive change. They are ready to engage in the therapeutic process with openness and honesty and want to gain insight into themselves and their relationships, in order to break free from negative cycles and live a more fulfilling life. Their goals may vary, but ultimately, they aspire to cultivate greater self-awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and build more meaningful connections with themselves and others.

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.
