I also provide the option of Christian counseling, but it is never pushed on to you.
Life can be complicated, chaotic, or challenging at times. If this sounds familiar and you are feeling stuck or defeated, then I can help. I see these times as opportunities for growth, and healing. You can feel hopeful again through a new perspective. Together we can navigate and unravel your circumstance in order to reach your personal goals. You may be having difficulty with relationships, coping, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety or adjusting to change. I am able to work with anyone throughout the life span, from childhood to the end of life. Counseling is available in person or telehealth.

As a Christian counselor, my hope is to aid my clients in feeling the love of God through learning more about themselves and who God created them to be.
My hope is to offer clients a safe place to feel seen, and heard in order for true healing to occur. My heart is to aid teens and kids in the unique challenges present at that age, as well as helping parents navigate the difficulties that come with understanding these challenges in their children’s lives. Overall, my goal is to meet my clients where they are and incorporate their interests within the session. I offer canine-assisted therapy as well with my two sweet basset hounds, Rosie and Poppy who love to snuggle up and put people at ease.

My experiences of over 35 years of working with adolescents, college students, young adults, and married couples within a Christian ministry context allow me to work with those who seek spiritual clarity as well as those who have a secular perspective.
My ideal client understands that they need a seasoned and perceptive counselor to walk with them in their issues which usually stem from challenging relationships. These could include processing anxiety, depression, marital issues, loss & grief, aging, sexual dysfunction or addiction, life transitions, and navigating the challenges from adolescence all the way through to senior adulthood. My clients are seeking help with today and hope for tomorrow. I work with church hurt issues both for church professionals as well as participants. My hope is to see clients flourish when they feel stuck, and to live life to the fullest!

I love people! To me, there is nothing better than walking with someone through difficult life circumstances and seeing them find victory and a better tomorrow. I love working with couples! There is not much worse than struggling through a lifeless, even toxic marriage. I love helping couples reconnect, heal, learn to communicate, have real intimacy, and ultimately have the marriage that was always possible. I am able to see great healing take place where marriages, families and even generations are changed for the better.

I need help." "I need to change." "I don't know...? These have all been common words spoken by my clients over the past 20 years. Therapy can be a frightening first step, because you don't know what will change. But I am here to reassure you that I have helped others make small change become lasting change. One recent client wrote, "I had some trepidation about entering this environment, but Rick has made it completely comfortable and it has been a wonderful experience." Each year I help over 100 clients achieve new goals towards their mental health while attending brief, solution-oriented therapy.

I've never seen anything as beautiful and thrilling as watching the heart of a man or woman set free from what have has held it captive for years. As I sit with you, I will be privileged to walk with you through your life story and watch freedom begin to take form. Suffering and abuse and all sorts of wounds occur, and the result is that we develop self-protective strategies that hamper connection in relationships. Whether I'm working for your marriage or yourself as an individual, my commitment to you is to try to help you identify lies and embrace truth.

Sometimes whatever is going on has something to with “stuff” from the past. When that happens I believe we tend to get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving in our present and impacts our relationship with others and even ourselves. People I work with generally are looking to feel fully alive and free in the present without being bogged down from the past. A lot of my people are looking for encouragement, guidance and someone to be their cheer leader.

Emotional pain ... sucks. I can help your pain. Flashbacks, nightmares and PTSD respond very well to EMDR, as do intrusive thoughts and disturbing memories. I have been using it since 1993, so early that Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR, trained me herself. In addition, my basic training is Marriage and Family so I excel in relationships. But memories cause most of our problems.

J. R. R. Tolkien once wrote in a letter to a friend, "No man can estimate what is really happening at present. All we do know, and that to a large extent by direct experience, is that evil labours with vast power and perpetual success - in vain: preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in." Most of us readily identify with the first part of that statement but may not be so sure about the second part. We hope for truth, beauty, and goodness and because of that hope we suffer. How do we live with integrity and freedom in the midst of suffering?

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.
