I am a christian therapist trained in theophostic prayer and I enjoy helping others discover their spiritual path.
I understand that therapy doesn't have to be a life-long process but it can help significantly when you are going through difficult circumstances that create worry, anger or a feeling of being at a loss. Stress seems to be an indicator that issues need to be addressed. I am a therapist who believes that my clients have many of the answers to their problems, I am there to help them through the journey to uncover what the answers are.

Do any of the following sound familiar? You feel anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed most days. You notice that no matter how successful you are, or how much you have achieved, you still struggle with feeling “not good enough.” You often don't know what you want or need, and sacrifice your own well-being to meet the needs of others. You want to find meaning and joy in life, but find that most days you are just trying to get by and survive. If you're looking for a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space to do this work then let's talk.

I hope to be as helpful as possible to all my clients as they struggle with what life brings. I see it as my role as a therapist to come along side my clients as they walk through whatever issue brings them to my office. I have found good therapy starts with understanding the person you desire to support and that is my first goal.

We learn who we are and what we have to offer from a lifetime of relationships, both good and bad. Everyone experiences relationships that create festering messages/beliefs that burrow into our souls, leading to internal and external pain. We often forget the importance of personal value and worth within relationships, and the results vary from bitterness, anger, depression, anxiety, addiction, etc. Furthermore, we can get so caught up our anxieties, fears, and pain, that we forget to hold onto and pour into the relationships that provide support, leaving us isolated in our suffering.

I believe you are a unique individual with your own story to tell. Sharing who you are and what you have experienced or are experiencing with anyone is a vulnerable and brave thing to do. We are relational beings, and with relationships comes a waterfall of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and experiences, all of which affect how we relate and respond to ourselves and others. My hope for our time together is movement towards hope and healing. It would be an honor to come alongside you as you navigate your pursuit of personal and relational wellness.

I will strive to give you the knowledge and skills to make these changes in a healthy and God-like manner. We will work together, at your pace and comfort level, to develop goals to improve your life. We will work to give your life balance in all areas.

Have you found yourself in a season where you are needing more support than your current life circumstances can offer? Is you mind filled with unanswered questions, racing thoughts, fears or self doubt? Do you experience emotions in ways that are difficult to handle alone? Perhaps counseling is the next right step. If you are looking for a place to unpack what you have been holding on to, a place to receive grace and care in a non-judgmental way, a place to explore and heal and transform in a trusted relationship with another human, I may be a good fit for you.

There are times in life where we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and weighed down by burdens that are too heavy to manage on our own. It can be hard to find time and space to address the things that weigh on us in the midst of all that pulls at our time and attention. I consider it an honor and privilege to create a space for my clients where together we can slow down and address the burdens in their lives that are keeping them from thriving. Sometimes these burdens may be anxious or depressed symptoms, other times it may be challenges with emotional regulation at home or school, or it may be relational challenges.

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.
