I view life from a Christian perspective based on a non-judgmental approach to working with people from all walks of life regardless of age, race, belief system, or sexual orientation.
Are your life and relationships meeting your expectations? Do you struggle at times to understand why part of your life is not "working", leaving you too stressed, frustrated, and possibly resentful? Change in our lives begins by talking about it. Everyone struggles at some point in their life. Often we just need to express ourselves to someone who is focused on listening to our story and can acknowledge our feelings. Sometimes we need more. Regardless of your current situation, therapy can help you begin that journey. Improve your quality of life and relationships, and find joy in living again.

Navigating life can feel tough! It can seem as though with every moment life keeps changing. It seems as though you can't catch a break. The loss of a dream, a friendship, the death of a loved one. Wondering how will I ever go on? The feelings of deep sorrow take over and it is hard to comprehend the many changes life keeps bringing. Feelings of despair and being overwhelmed creep in like a theif in the night. It can feel unbearable to continue on. Thoughts start to swarm your mind and you begin to wonder if life will ever get better.

Counseling is the process of recognizing our pain and hurt (past and present), understanding the effects of that pain and hurt (as it relates to relationships, work, school, etc.), and making the necessary changes to stop the pain and hurt, and also promoting mental and emotional wellness. Psychologist Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I chose to become.” With that in mind, the hope and plan is to move towards one’s ideal, true self; moving from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.

Do you feel held back or stuck in your anxiety, depression, guilt and shame, relationship issues, or disconnection from yourself and others? Your struggles may have less to do with something you're "doing wrong" and more to do with lasting impacts of trauma from your past. Trauma can cause us to view ourselves, others, or the world differently, and often in ways that limit, dissatisfy, discourage, or sabotage us. Thankfully, these impacts can be discovered and dismantled to make way for growth and thriving. The keys to breaking free can be found by exploring your life story in counseling.

I am most passionate about working with families, couples, and males of all ages who are frustratingly challenged by endless arguments, paralyzing indecision, missed expectations and commitments, or anything else keeping them from living the life they intend to live when they wake up each morning. My typical clients are exploring their personal beliefs and feeling stressed, confused, frustrated, or downright dissatisfied with the life they lead. Together we will find solutions that specifically fit your challenges, develop your character, and cultivate an overall sense of peace, love, and joy in your life and relationships.

I believe each one of us possesses a deep desire to be known. Clients often present to therapy in their most vulnerable states. Whether it is anxiety, depression, relational strife, anger, addiction, etc. My goal by the end of each session is for clients to leave feeling that they have been seen, heard and equipped to manage their daily lives.

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.
