For those who hold Christian beliefs, I can bring elements of faith and a Biblical perspective into treatment when needed.
Working with children, youth, adults, and families, I help identify unhealthy patterns and teach tools you can use to begin making small changes in your life. Sometimes emotions are distressing and no fun to deal with, which can also lead to behavioral issues. Given enough power, unpleasant experiences can make living life and being in relationships difficult. As you make small changes, these small little changes add up and you’ll hopefully find yourself facing a different direction with a stronger sense of who you are as a human being, not human doer. I can support you on your journey as you practice fumbling with your new tools.

Operating from a Christian perspective gives me a different angle on healing broken relationships, recovering from sexual abuse, and leaving addictions behind.
I believe that a solid, collaborative relationship between client and therapist makes a powerful difference. As a team, we will find the parts of your history that hinder you, and the strengths that you may not know. With this understanding, I can help you write a new chapter in a far better story.
Clients tell me that they feel genuine care and understanding from me, plus insight that creates meaning from the past and hope for the future.

My Christian faith informs how I understand healing as well as the value of relationship.
I work with individual adults, couples and families. My commitment to my clients is to come alongside you in support of the meaningful work of healing and transformation that you seek. I value the relationship between client and counselor, and believe it is core to the therapeutic process. Therefore, I am committed to an initial session that supports discernment about whether we are a good fit for moving forward in the counseling relationship. If not, then I do not charge for that session and help point you toward others who may better serve you.

I am a Christian mental health therapist in Mill Creek who specializes in trauma and eating disorders, co-dependency and difficulties differentiating from family of origin.
Most of my clients come to me feeling stuck, having tried "regular" talk therapy and looking for something, a modality or a therapist to help them move past old patterns of relating and triggers. These old patterns and triggers left unaddressed can easily feel like they are taking over your life! Together, with your permission, we will dive deeply into your story and uncover patterns of relating that have been preventing you from the life you want to live.

I am a Christian.
My goal is to help people get better, heal, grow, and change. I believe about 1/3 of clients seeking help want help and are motivated to do the work to get better. I believe that 1/3 of clients say they want help but are not motivated and don't do the work necessary to get better while the other 1/3 come for counseling only at the insistence of someone else. I see my job as helping clients to see which group they fall in while respecting those who don't want/choose help.

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.
