I use Christian Counseling as a means to connect our pain and mental challenges to living in balance between the highs and lows.
Life can be viewed as a series of successes and disappointments. We often have people who support us in the highs but may not know how to help us through the lows. I would be honored to be that person for you! While we cannot be perfect, we can be healthy in mind, body, and spirit! I believe that God can use every event, mistake, achievement, frustration, setback and triumph to help us prosper and be well.

I am trained in Community Counseling and Christian Counseling, so my clients receive clinically sound and culturally responsive services.
Accepting GA, NC, & SC clients. Individually, interpersonally and globally, we are living in the most challenging of times. The stress is high. The anxiety is overwhelming. The advice is inconsistent. You may be grieving an unbearable loss. Your most valued relationships might feel strained. You need a soft place to land...a place to talk...a place to process life...a place to sort through your emotions and thoughts and choices...and someone who understands how important your Christian faith is to you. We all need a little extra help and support now and then. And there's no shame in that! Sometimes you just need to clear your head.

Additionally, my Christian faith is at the foundation of all I do, so I also offer clients an opportunity, if they choose, to bring their spirituality into the therapy space.
I believe that we are all meant to be healed, restored, and whole in spirit, mind, and body. Many of life's hurts and challenges come through relationships and so does our healing. Therapy is a safe space to express emotions, receive guidance in making informed and healthy decisions, and move toward desired goals. I specialize in working with couples struggling with their relationship, communication, infidelity, sexual intimacy concerns, and overall connection. I also have a passion for working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, relational conflict, self-esteem/identity challenges, trauma & major life changes.

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.
