Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals and families in the context of pastoral counseling, family therapy, and clinical practice providing an evidence-based approach that is uniquely Christian in foundation and principle.
Welcome to my profile. Navigating the uncertainties of life can be extremely challenging. During times of crisis, we often feel the added pressure to have all of the answers and to be decisive. It’s hard to “carry the weight of the world” when things are unraveling. My passion is to bring hope and healing to those that are hurting. I believe that the best therapy is non-judgmental and relevant. I promise to meet you where you’re at and provide you with an anchor of stability while working together to find the path of restoration and renewal.

She works with clients from all walks of life and faith backgrounds, but also offers Christian counseling if desired.
Are you feeling frustrated and confused by your closest relationships? Do you find yourself stuck in familiar negative patterns, in your relationships or your own habits? While our greatest heartaches often come to us in the form of relationships, they can also be the doorway to providing healing and reparative experiences. Sometimes we need another calm and caring presence to help us express our emotions, to gain clarity where we have confusion, and fumble our way forward out of the stuck places. Therapy can provide a healing relationship, a place to receive attentive and non-judgemental listening, and hope for a better tomorrow.

The courage it takes to reach out for counseling is commended. I offer support, guidance, and direction when needed about the challenges you are going through. Most meetings include a time for you to process what is going on in your world along with skill building. I have worksheets, articles, and curiosity to guide you into perspective change. I love the change process that folks go through and cheer this on with a positive perspective and encouraging words along the way. I am intentional about pointing out the growth and positive at the end of each meeting.

Working with children, teens, and young adults as they navigate the developmental and emotional difficulties of growing is a passion of mine. These rapidly changing stages can be difficult to thrive in especially when experiencing trauma, divorce, learning disabilities, bullying, adoption, foster care, and other difficult life events. Young adulthood has its own unique challenges and often unearths a host of new questions with this new life stage.

When we work to heal ourselves, we heal generations before us. I believe most people come to counseling because they are stuck in patterns that no longer serve the person they want to be. I believe a therapeutic relationship is a place of vulnerability and curiosity about yourself where we value authenticity, transparency, humor, and joy. I feel a higher calling in my life to serve people and the unique spaces they navigate; this, combined with education, and life experience assists me in guiding you to your goals. The fact that you’re here shows your resiliency and I hope to build on that awareness to enrich your journey to joy.

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.
