Having served as a Christian pastor, I have a unique experience and skill set which, if in line with your goals, can support your journey as you draw upon God's strength and love.
Many people look for a counselor because something in life isn't working - a challenging relationship, inability to cope with life's stress in a healthy way, a lack of joy or peace, or some harmful behavior that is out of control. Trying to change on our own isn't working and we've hit a dead end. As a licensed counselor, it's my passion to help you discover a way to navigate these difficulties and move forward toward a life of purpose, fulfillment, and joy.

Belief makes all things possible! By integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Christian principles, I aim to empower clients to transform negative thought patterns, self-concepts, and behaviors, and to set achievable goals that will enhance their self-esteem and self-image.
The clients I have worked with are those grappling with anxiety and feelings of insecurity. Those I will be working with wish to take charge of their thoughts and strive for healthier, happier selves. Clients are in command of their self-perception, and together, we will establish realistic goals to reach their ideal state.

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.
