We all encounter challenges in our lives and sometimes require assistance in getting through a rough patch. I am honored to work with individuals seeking a compassionate, interactive and empathetic psychotherapist. By using a collaborative approach, we work together to identify limiting thoughts and beliefs and to reframe them allowing you to create a more empowering and enriching approach to life. With couples, I provide the safe, judgement-free- environment needed to resolve difficult relationship issues and enhance communication skills for you and your partner to use beyond the completion of therapy.

As a licensed clinician, I believe in two fundamental truths. The first being "I believe in the possibility of change" and the second "I create a safe space to make that change". These beliefs help people heal and recover. As we develop in life, we all face transition and change. Some of these waters are difficult to navigate through and few of us can do so without a guide or support. I will support you so that you can see a clear path to your desired goals. "The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. " Prov 20:5

I believe all people are capable of change if one is willing to be open, honest, and engaged in taking a hard look at oneself and the behaviors that are not best serving goal achievement and a happy life. Together we can work through the obstacles that have not allowed you to do so on your own and find the potential underneath.

If you have decided to seek professional help you have accomplished the first step. You have been courageous & will now embark on a journey of self-discovery. Finding the most suitable therapist is the second step. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of my clients; I believe that each person should be treated as an individual and that each individual has their own set of needs. I work together with my clients to figure out what those needs are while building trusting, judgment free relationships and through the use of humor whenever possible.

Are you a first time parent and feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling to balance it all? Do you miss having time for yourself? Are you wondering if what you're feeling is normal? You are not alone. I started For a Season Counseling because this is what so many mothers feel, but are afraid to talk about. Media, friends and even our own expectations can make parenting feel and look easy. The reality is that many struggle in silence and can be made to feel ashamed for sharing how they really feel.

Are you struggling to hold it together, feeling hopeless, or are simply sick & tired of being sick & tired. The individuals I work with have lost their sense of self along the way and are desperately searching for a glimmer of hope – something so that they can find themselves or rediscover the hope that they lost during the journey that is one’s life. I became a therapist because I believe in the healing power of relationships and that change is possible for everyone. I have an extensive background treating substance use and support all paths to recovery, including harm-reduction, abstinence, 12-step model, SMART Recovery, and MAT.

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.
