Some of what I focus on includes deep emotional healing, identity strengthening, career and life direction clarification, discovering the answer to "why do I exist and what does it matter to mankind?", neuropsychotherapy, and Christian spiritual care.
I work with clients who may be experiencing fears, shame, guilt, anger, worry, depression, anxiety, the results of trauma, and those who need a stronger sense of self, value, direction, and hope. My goal is to see you become fully alive as who you are and to enjoy your life to the fullest. I am varied in my approach and often use a combination of person-centered, positive, psychological techniques combined with teaching clients scientific, practical methods for retraining neural pathways and changing unhelpful thought patterns into life-giving ones. I delight in the unique process of learning from and with each client.

Everyone has a story—what’s yours? Every day, our thoughts shape our experiences, influencing how we see ourselves and connect with others. If you struggle with people-pleasing, social anxiety, co-dependency, or childhood trauma, you’re not alone. These challenges can be overwhelming, often causing you to wear a mask, hiding your true self to fit in or avoid pain. But this mask doesn’t have to define your story. I offer a space to unpack and heal from the toughest parts of your story, helping you transition from trauma to healing, shame to self-compassion, people-pleasing to self-empowerment, and anxiety to authenticity.

Most of us have seasons of distress or relational stress in which we need new perspectives and support. Sometimes old hurts play into the immediate conflict. We may try to work everything out on our own, but often that is just not happening or not even possible. That is where talk therapy comes in. It is all about support for the present and hope for the future as clients deconstruct and reconstruct the pieces of their story. The renewal and redemption of that story is very often a key to successful therapy.

Whatever type of Anxiety you have, treatment can help, especially if you feel like you’re worrying too much and it’s interfering with your work, relationships, or other parts of your life. If your anxiety is upsetting to you and difficult to control, seek out counseling. Although Depression may occur only once in a person’s life, people typically have multiple episodes. During these episodes, symptoms occur most of the day, nearly every day. Why live like this when you don’t have to?

We were never meant to do life alone... and when we find ourselves in a place of feeling alone, it can be incredibly painful. My practice is informed by the belief that the greatest healing happens in the context of relationships- and that in order to experience true comfort and healing, we have to compassionately connect with the very things that are bringing us discomfort. When engaging in our therapy space, we (both me and those I serve) show up as our imperfect and vulnerable selves- knowing that we are worthy of connection, worthy of belonging, and worthy of the courageous work that we engage in together.

Why does insight alone, not lead to congruence between what you want and what you do? Research has shown that you (the client) are the most important contributor to change (40%). The next biggest factor for change is the alliance and trust between you and your therapist (30%). After this, the other two variables are positive expectations for therapy (15%), and the therapist's theoretical orientation (15%). These statistics inform my approach to therapy and why I focus on your strengths, encourage personal responsibility, and provide a non-judgmental environment and unconditional acceptance for whatever you bring to therapy.

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.
