I have over 30 years experience as a Licensed Psychologist helping adults with stress management, depression and bipolar disorders, anxiety, grief/loss, couple issues, work-related problems, etc. I work collaboratively with my clients using my own modification of "Multimodal" and "Multitheoretical Integrative" Therapies, a comprehensive approach to counseling that takes all areas of human functioning into consideration ( mental, physical, behavioral, emotional, interpersonal, spiritual, etc.). I have traditional Christian ethics but don't impose those values on my clients, working with those from any faith.

As a married Christian therapist of 27 years, I understand the shame, frustration and embarrassment couples struggle with but I also know how to assist them with overcoming those challenges and having a more satisfying relationship.
Are you and your partner tired of arguing and not getting problems resolved? Do you feel disconnected from your spouse? A few issues couples often struggle with are Communication, Conflict, Finance and Blending Families. We are in relationships because we enjoy the companionship, want to build a family together and want to experience love and intimacy.

We can sit together and I will care for you and help you build a better life plan.

I live in TX, virtual only! Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people.

Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. Executive Coaching available.

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.
