Certified by the International Institute for Trauma and Addictions Professionals (IITAP) and the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists, I have been trained by experts in these fields, giving me a unique perspective on understanding the healing process and the journey to wholeness.
As a Certified Sex Addictions Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and co-founder of the Center for Sexual and Relational Health, I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with sexual/porn addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, infidelity, and the associated trauma from those behaviors. Because sexual/porn addiction impacts the entire family system, I am also a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist as I help partners navigate the emotional impact created by the problematic behaviors of their loved ones. I journey alongside my clients to help them create a new narrative for themselves so they can move forward.

I am a Christian counselor and life coach, and I help you learn how to SHOW UP for your life awake and alive for what really matters- your faith, your people, and meaningful contribution.
Are you so good at coping with your anxiety that others don’t seem to notice? On the outside you look like you’ve pretty much got it all together but, on the inside, you wrestle with: anxiety, fear, regret, conflicting thoughts and emotions, a harsh inner critic, perfectionism or people pleasing? I know firsthand how exhausting high-functioning anxiety can be, and I also know how to help you cultivate a life of peace from the inside out. You’re here because you're the type that won’t settle for staying stuck, so you’re seeking help and you're ready for change.

John doesn't consider himself a "Christian counselor," he has been strongly influenced by faith in Jesus.
Often times our lives and relationships don't go according to our plans. We have problems with our past, not connecting or understanding relationships, how others have hurt us, or how to navigate the difficulty of finances. These situations are just a few that could require some additional help. You are not alone in this. In fact, most individuals and couples can relate to these experiences. Assistance can come in many forms, including the client central focus that Olive Tree Counseling strives to accomplish.

“What is wrong with me?” Have you ever found yourself feeling this way? Something feels “off,” and you just can’t put your finger on it. All the things that are supposed to make you feel happy and fulfilled are not doing any of these things. Instead, you feel more broken and disconnected inside than ever. You are doing all the “right stuff” to overcome your past; yet, your painful history always manages to catch up to you, leaving you feeling “stuck” in the same destructive thought patterns and relationships. You don't necessarily want to die, but are tired of living this way. Can you relate?

I am a LPC in South Carolina. I enjoy working with clients as they confront avoidance and start living the lives they desire. The best evidence we have shows the importance of a good therapeutic relationship in overall therapy outcomes. I love connecting with my clients and building a great relationship with them. To be sure, life has many challenges and many of us respond to those challenges in ways that are not consistent with our values. Many times, these responses cause life to not be as enjoyable as we would like. Wherever our challenges come from, these challenges do not need to prevent us from living the life we desire.

Do you wish you could just have a little peace while going about your normal day? Are you sick of feeling frustrated or ashamed with constantly thinking about whether you are good enough? Maybe you know that life could be different, but are not sure about how or who to reach out to for support. You are not alone. You, just like your friends, family, and every other person on the planet, are worthy of love, belonging, and freedom to live your life without basing your worth on how you look, past trauma, what you eat, or what you assume others think.

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.
