Are you a Christian seeking professional help with the option of prioritizing and supporting your spiritual life? I get it. Your faith is integral to your life. Which also means your health. I know the ease it brings to the therapy room when the counselor across from you understands your values. Together, we can help you move from weary, wounded, or wandering toward a life of greater wholeness and peace - within, with others, and with God.

In addition to my Christian faith, I have been heavily influenced by Viktor Frankl’s "Man’s Search for Meaning," Irvin Yalom’s "The Gift of Therapy," and Marcus Aurelius’ "Meditations.
One of the focuses of my career is to find the points of overlap between the Christian faith and sound counseling practices. This integrated perspective informs all of my professional endeavors. As your counselor, I will use a mind-body-spirit approach to tailor treatment to your individual needs. In each session, my goal is to help you discover and develop new insights and skills to navigate through the often-turbulent waters of life. I aim to help you get results and find solutions, so the amount of time that you may need or want to see me will vary depending on your circumstances.

Life’s trials have shaped my passion for helping others. Orphaned by 13 after losing my mother to HIV and my stepfather to murder, my faith in Christ guided me through these hardships. For 25 years, I've studied relationships, from a spiritual lens, and as a Christian marriage counselor, I focus on helping couples improve communication, from a Gospel-centered focus. Using evidence-based research and faith-based principles, I address mental health issues and imperfections. I empower individuals and couples to restore and enrich their relationships, navigate challenges, and achieve their God-given potential.

Life can be stressful. The demands we, as well as others, place upon us can steal our peace and happiness and leave us feeling overwhelmed. Often, we struggle to achieve some sense of balance while simultaneously feeling confused and discouraged. Anxiety, depression and trauma can affect every aspect of our lives – relationships, family life, work, schooling, even self-care and physical well-being. Therapy offers a time away from daily life and provides a comfortable place to reflect and regain a healthy perspective for living life fully.

Hey Sis! As a Black therapist to high-achieving executive women of color in both corporate and entertainment, I feel you juggling roles as a boss, wife, mom, caregiver, wearing all those hats with the S on your chest and superwoman cape on. I know you're tired and that's ok! You may feel stretched thin and the weight of responsibilities burdensome. Trying to be everything to everybody is hard and highly unrealistic. There's a need for a new paradigm shift and the shift starts with you. Let's shift towards healthier boundaries, greater clarity in purpose, work and life harmony, peace inside, pure joy, healing, and ultimate FREEDOM.

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.
