Drawing from previous experience as a youth pastor, pastoral counselor & seminary student, I am able to incorporate Christian, Biblical, Spirit-led counseling for clients that desire it.
Are you feeling stuck and not experiencing joy and peace? My heart is to come alongside those seeking freedom from any type of bondage. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of professional and pastoral counseling, it is my joy and honor to provide a safe place for couples, families and individuals to work through their challenges, discover strength, and navigate away from past pain towards hope, healing, wholeness and health. While integrative, my therapeutic approach leans towards Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused, Gottman, Immanuel Method and SOZO Prayer.

I have a background in theology and counseling and am equipped to help people process psychological growth from a Christian perspective upon request.
I believe we all need a space where we can reflect on life. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space where each client can ask difficult questions, explore struggles and find hope. I utilize a psychodynamic perspective in therapy, seeking both to alleviate symptoms and to help each client understand what is impeding the growth process underneath the surface of those symptoms. This style of therapy allows us to work together to better understand areas where you feel stuck and bring insight and understanding to patterns of behavior and feelings that may be impacting relationships and emotional health.

In over 30 years of practice, I have helped individuals and couples with anxiety and depression related to relationship trauma. I have helped couples rediscover their love and commitment to one another. I have also helped couples divorce with kindness and respect. I have helped individuals recover from the loss of their primary relationship and forge a new vision for their future. I have helped many people with childhood trauma integrate those experiences, develop a new sense of self, and create a life worth celebrating.

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.
