Overwhelmed and stressed out? Triggered by things that you feel like you "should" be able to handle more calmly? Maybe you know how you want to live but keep finding yourself reacting in the moment. It's challenging to understand the things that set you off and to take the steps you long for alone. It would be easier if you had a compassionate guide to help you understand why you keep slipping up and to help develop tools to empower you to make the changes you desire. You're looking for someone who challenges you, but is still easy to talk to, someone who's on your team.

My holistic approach integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being. The overall goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels. For some, the goal of counseling may be to improve personal, familial, social, and/or community functioning. While for others, the aim is building, self-esteem, reducing anxiety or strengthening coping mechanisms. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to unpack emotional and mental distress while working on grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful automatic thoughts, and processing trauma.

Christian counseling and spirituality orientation is available.
New information, skills, and understandings will move you forward to goals you don't even know as possibilities. You have certain skills and understandings that have brought you to where you are now. A lot of folks believe that more willpower will make the difference and that is what is needed. But, if willpower hasn’t worked out for you up to this point, maybe new information, abilities, and insights are available. Learning new ways of coping is a short-term solution to “life is difficult". My experience, both personally and professionally, is that when we find new sources of strength, we become empowered in significant ways.

As a Christian therapist, I also utilize faith-based principles at your discretion.
Making the choice to seek help in overcoming hardships in your life can be one of the scariest and one of the most rewarding actions a person can take in their life. If you find yourself here, you may be considering a journey towards long-lasting and significant change. In each stage of life, there are unique challenges that can impact your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health. Lack of support, encouragement, or sense of community make these challenges unbearable. My role is to utilize my training to provide unconditional positive regard and safety when overcoming barriers and discovering effective solutions, together.

Let’s begin a 63 day transformative journey together! I practice an integrative wholeness approach to relational health and mental wellness, integrating the best of science research, neurobiology, and Christian Spiritual Formation.
Positively or negatively, how one feels effects the chemistry and electricity of every cell in the body as emotions function as a regulatory system in the body. Moreover, the body is unable to differentiate whether chronic stress is physically driven or emotionally driven, but the unmediated end result is the same: toxic thoughts and chronic stress negatively affect the expression of the DNA (epigenetics) impacting mental, physical, emotional, and social health.

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.
