My joy is helping motivated clients heal and grow! I resonate with Psychologist William James: "The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." Someone once asked me what percent of my clients experience progress. After some reflection, I was in awe, as the answer was "all of them who desire change." I motivate and walk with anyone who is open to revolutionizing their life. Together, we identify support systems, engage family members, and promote a trust-based relational solution.

Consider this - You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm. Have you been keeping others warm for far too long at the expense of yourself? Is it finally time to put YOU first? Whether you are struggling with things that have happened in your past, seek to have more fulfilling and lasting relationships, or simply just want to feel better than you did yesterday, I would be honored to walk beside you. I like to think of going to therapy as a scheduled time in your week to invest in yourself – it doesn’t mean that something is wrong with you. Rather, coming to therapy means something is RIGHT with you.

I'm Tiffany and I want to work with you! Many of us struggle with boundaries, low self-esteem, and decision making. Usually we know what we want, but we've been conditioned to believe we are undeserving. Whether this belief has been created from religious experiences, our family of origin, or society we will work together to bring about hope and healing. Choosing who to share your story with is a serious and personal decision. You must feel comfortable, accepted, and valued. We are the way we are for a reason. Let's find out what that is and help you become the best version of yourself!

Do you want to be healthy? That's the goal for many of us. We really do want to be healthy. We really want to truly experience wholeness...emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. But the fact is we often find ourselves in a journey elsewhere. Life takes us down a different road. Detours become commonplace. We sometimes lose our way. We get distracted and miss our turn. Our pursuit of wholeness can quickly become a journey to simply survive. Our journey can leave us feeling alone and isolated without a connection with anyone.

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.
