Life is Right Now. If you make one great decision about your life today, and that decision causes a 1% positive impact on your life, that impact gets compounded day after day. Working with the right therapist can create positive changes in your life way beyond anything you can imagine. For 20 years I've been helping people build extraordinary lives, rich with success and achievement, heartfelt personal relationships, renewed physical vitality, and a deep sense of fulfillment. After earning a Doctorate in Psychology, I went on to study coaching at Harvard University and became certified by the NBCC.

Are you feeling stuck? Repeating old patterns? Do you feel overwhelmed by a life transition? Sometimes, life is difficult and filled with complexity! Yet, even in this, we can find hope and joy. I believe the first steps as a counselor are accepting whatever you bring to each session, acknowledging your courage, and honoring the positive and protective aspects of your issues. From that place of acceptance, we can work together to discover your strengths, develop skills, and uncover inner resources for moving forward.

For over 50 years I have been on a spiritual journey as a Christian.
For over 25 years it has been my passion to help men and women become the person they want to be. My clients find me compassionate, accepting, understanding, and caring. I have a heart for working with men, especially, in all their areas of woundedness. Those wounds can be expressed in covert depression, relational problems,anxiety, perfectionism, feeling disconnected, and compulsive sexual behaviors. I also have an expertise in working with individuals whose personal faith in God is important to them. However, I respect and work well with those with no belief in God or beliefs different than mine.

I am also able to utilize a Faith Based Approach as a Christian Counselor to help you process trauma and overcome it understanding your purpose and calling in life.
Maybe you struggle with depression, anxiety, feelings of unhappiness or unfulfillment. Sometimes life’s adversities take the best of us, and leave us lost, feeling numb or trapped in a cycle of self sabotaging behaviors that perpetuate our suffering. Whether it is the sudden rupture of a relationship, abuse, a traumatic loss, a divorce, abandonment, or work related stressors, I view these experiences as opportunities to grow into a better version of the self. I commend you for being brave and contemplating the thought of a better present, leaving past hurt behind, and embracing healing with 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.
