I often hear that people think that therapy is telling a complete stranger their life story while that stranger just smiles and nods, a type of one-sided relationship. While I will be a stranger to you at first, I'm also a real person. I'm someone who wants to connect with you while helping you navigate the story of your life. Making the initial call to seek therapy can be scary at first, but therapy doesn't have to be feared or difficult. I want to help you enjoy the process of identifying your goals and seeking to create the life you want to live. This process will be unique to you because therapy with me isn't one size fits all.

How has motherhood changed you? From conception to postpartum and even loss, it is a challenging experience that many of us struggle to navigate. We often feel we're not doing it right or establishing faulty expectations based on unrealistic beliefs. Experiencing pregnancy can be a joyful time while for many it can be a completely distressing experience. We tend to experience a disconnect following birth causing us to feel bouts of sadness, worrisome thoughts, panic attacks, irritability and shame, and even suffer with intrusive thoughts. It is important that you know these feelings, thoughts, concerns are normal and treatable.

I provide counseling services from a special point of view. With background in both nursing and school counseling, I have a unique perspective with which I approach counseling. By looking at the person as a whole, I can help clients sort through and connect the puzzle pieces of their lives. My approach to understanding anxiety has helped both children and adults deal effectively with daily life in a more peaceful way. Specializing in individual counseling, I work to meet the client's needs and approach their "lives from a different point of view."

"How does that make you feel?" is not my approach! In sessions with me, we can focus on new coping strategies and skills to replace old and problematic habits in your life. I enjoy working with teens, individual adults and couples using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. We identify your deeply held values and then take solid behavioral steps towards getting closer to those values. Additionally, I do offer premarital counseling tailored to each couple.

Treatment approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Bilingual Counseling (Spanish), Christian Counseling, EMDR, and Narrative Exposure Therapy.
Aiming to thrive and not solely survive? Despite our adverse experiences or current circumstances, we can find ourselves wanting to find more meaning in life. I help clients slow down to closely examine the obstacles that are interfering with their ability to live the life they envision. My approach to counseling is to learn to love yourself as you are while working on your areas of growth. We are all worthy of self-love and self-compassion, but all too often this is absent in our lives. My hope is that through this process you find your true self and are courageous enough to embrace and live out your most authentic life!

EMDR can be used to help reprocess past traumatic experiences, and I also can integrate Christian principles if it is desired.
Do you feel overwhelmed by the expectations you put on yourself and struggle to quiet that inner critic that tells you what you do isn't enough or how incapable you are? Do you struggle to feel contentment and joy? If you answer yes to these questions, you are not alone. For some of us, we had experiences that make us believe our performance is where our value is found. We then find ourselves in life reaching the goals that we set for ourselves only to go: “is this it?”. The reality is that another goal won’t fix this. This is a deeply rooted belief system that has to be challenged and deep wounds that need to be healed.

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.
