Deciding to seek out a counselor can be difficult. Admitting you have an issue you can’t conquer on your own can be unbelievably humbling. We were not made to live in isolation, to figure everything out, or to get through all of life’s challenges alone. As one who has encountered storms in life, I can tell you that no matter how strong the wind and the waves may be, you can weather and overcome them through Jesus Christ. Combining my biblical and mental health training with my 23 years of experience in the field, I would be honored to come alongside you to help you find healing and restoration.
Over the last 20 years I have worked with families, children, and teens to identify solutions to various difficulties. I have also witnessed in my own life and the lives of others that through Christ and the truth of His Word, we have clear guidance about how to face and endure trials and grow in faith as we continue to live with and work through the difficulties of life.
With a gentle, patient spirit, I will listen with care and compassion to really understand your story and help you process through the difficult and traumatic events in your life. As a Christian therapist, I really do care about my clients and want you to know that you are safe to share whatever is on your heart and mind without fear of judgment. While therapy does require work on the part of both client and therapist, through dedication, faith-based therapy is a fantastic way to transform into your best self and improve your relationships, with God’s help.
As your counselor, I will listen to you and your story without judgment. I will work alongside you with your best interests in mind. In our sessions together, I will follow your lead and be sensitive to your limitations. With a gentle balance, I will graciously nudge you when appropriate and give you space to process as necessary. I specialize in counseling for teens and adults, working through a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, abandonment, relationship issues, and much more. I look forward to hearing your story and watching the Lord work in your life.
I am a Christian counselor open to working with individuals, couples, and families wherever they are at in their journey. My hope is that you will experience love, humility, and warmth throughout each session as we seek to find practical ways for you to overcome the issues you’re facing. In my practice, I incorporate a variety of professional therapeutic techniques combined with faith in the Lord to bring about lasting transformation. Together we will craft a treatment plan that is catered to your unique needs as we rely on God’s help for effective change.
I offer professional Christian counseling for teens and adult individuals. As your counselor, I will provide a warm, welcoming, and comfortable atmosphere where you can feel free to share your concerns and take steps toward finding the light. I will provide a safe space for you to bring all the hardest parts of your life and know you don’t have to carry them alone. With God’s guidance and direction through Christian counseling, you can experience lasting, positive change and find an anchor of hope in Him.
I understand how stressful it can be to seek out counseling. As your counselor, I will walk with you step-by-step through the process. As a Christian therapist, I am committed to bringing Christ into every session and to be prayerful both in sessions as well as outside sessions. By using a holistic and strengths-focused approach, I will help you grow and conquer the issues that have been holding you back. I believe everyone has the power and capabilities to better themselves, and I want to both point you to Christ and help you in every other way that I can.
I am passionate about providing quality therapy that is catered to your situation in order to see lasting change and transformation in your life. Past clients have described me as easy to talk to and a devoted listener. I will listen intently to your story and provide empathetic understanding in order to provide the best possible treatment for your needs and goals. In our sessions together I will offer effective therapy methods to help you process feelings of hurt and explore solutions that are in line with the Word of God.
As your therapist, I offer honesty, openness, comfort, and a commitment to seeking God’s guidance and direction for our time together. In John 10:10b, Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” As your counselor, I will listen for those parts of your story where you are not experiencing “life to the full” and explore possibilities for how your story could be expressed differently and with preferred meaning moving forward. Ultimately, my priority is to give my best to your process, and to trust that our mutual commitment toward your healing and wholeness will help draw you closer to the fullness of life that God intends for you.
