I am a Christian and bring a faith-based perspective to my practice as appropriate.
Sometimes life's challenges can cause us to become overwhelmed and unable to process solutions or determine next steps. During these times hope, encouragement, and honest care in a safe environment can provide the support you may need to resolve whatever the challenge is that you are facing. Perhaps you have reached a point where you just don’t know what to do regarding your marriage, your children, or other relationships. Or you may be struggling with an ongoing cycle of depression, anxiety, or a trauma related incident. You are ready to move on and I am here to help. Change is possible.

Life has become exhausting. It's been a struggle just to make it through the day and pushing yourself a minute longer almost feels impossible. Your prayers even seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

If this sounds familiar you are in the right place at the right time. I am here to help. There is hope for you.

Additionally, for individuals who desire therapy to engage and interact with their Christian faith, my seminary coursework and training allows me to discuss matters of faith and spirituality and their influence on the individual.
I am passionate about helping clients struggling with issues related to self, self-identity, and relational distress. These issues typically manifest themselves in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. It is my goal to partner with my clients to create an environment in which they feel safe, accepted, unjudged, and free to explore themselves and what they are experiencing. I have worked with adolescents ranging in age from 8 to 18 years, young adults, and middle-aged adults. I have experience working with people from a wide array of beliefs, values, and ethnic backgrounds.

There are places inside we would rather hide from, places we may have failed or lacked courage, experienced a trauma or deep pain. You can’t go there alone. You need a place where you can work through it all. In our sessions we will build an alliance to dig deeper into who you are and find insight for new perspective and renewed strength. If you are a couple, I will help you work through the barriers that stifle your relationship.

My areas of clinical focus are veterans, first responders, trauma, substance use, grief/loss, Christian spirituality, and existential issues.
I entered the counseling profession to support individuals who are having difficulties facing life’s challenges. I have found that many people struggle because they have created unrealistic expectations about the support, relationships, and encouragement they need. I believe that as humanity becomes “busier,” life becomes more complicated, affecting relationships and how we see ourselves fitting in the world. Life is often full of difficult and complicated experiences that are difficult to overcome, especially without support. Ultimately, these difficulties distract us from pursuing what enriches our lives.

Drawing from personal experience and education, I work hard to support people as they move from where they are to where they want to be. Motivated by my deep faith, I feel that all people matter and that change is always possible.

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.
