Christian counselling can be a place to explore what it means to live with God in your life and to live well. Together, we can consider how your faith informs your relationships, decisions and responses to difficult circumstances. I welcome honest conversations about belief, doubt, responsibility and the questions that arise when life does not unfold as you hoped. My approach combines practical counselling with room for your Christian faith, helping you consider how trusting God and taking meaningful action can work together in your everyday life.

I offer Christian counselling that combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a biblical understanding of people, relationships, and personal growth.

Somehow when we know that Jesus is the one who is doing the healing, and we place our trust in Him, we can find peace within the journey of healing. "Come to me.....and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28). I am a counselor of Christian faith and I use healing prayer and the Bible along with cognitive and mind-body approaches in my work with Christian clients.

Christian counselling with me is grounded in the conviction that each person bears dignity before God and is not defined by failure or struggle. Scripture serves not as a weapon of correction, but as a lens through which we understand identity, suffering, repentance, forgiveness, and hope. Faith can be integrated thoughtfully into therapy through biblical reflection, prayer when desired, and examining how beliefs shape emotional life. Healing often begins when light is allowed into places shaped by fear or shame. As hidden struggles are brought honestly before God, many clients experience renewed hope, greater integrity, and a growing sense of spiritual and emotional wholeness.

Faith and spirituality can be deeply important parts of a person’s life, identity and relationships. While I don’t provide specifically Christian or biblically based counselling, I warmly welcome clients for whom Christian faith is important and will respect the beliefs and values you bring to therapy. Love, attachment, belonging and the need for meaningful connection are universal human experiences, and I work with individuals and couples without judgment or bias. Your faith can be part of our conversations when it matters to you, while my therapeutic approach remains emotion-focused, relationship-centred and respectful of people from all faiths and backgrounds.

If you are reviewing this section to check whether I am a “bona fide” Christian or simply a person who believes that all people are good, then I can assure you that I am a Christian. IF on the other hand, you are reviewing this section in fear that I may be a “bible thumper” or a fanatical lunatic, I want to assure you that it is never my intention to force anyone to “get converted”. As a Christian, it is actually impossible for me to relate to my clients in an authentic way if I deviate from my worldview. Having said that, the journey that you are inviting me on is YOURS, not mine and you will be fully in charge of where we travel, the speed of the journey as well as our final destination,

As part of my graduate training in psychology, I also completed a Masters in Theology, as well as a pastoral practicum. My psychology training also included a focus on the integration of psychology and spirituality; how they can influence and strengthen each other. However, I never seek to inject my own beliefs into therapy! Rather, I feel it is important for me to understand how your faith and beliefs are a part of your understanding of your issues and how you can draw upon them. I try to see each of my patients as whole people, and that includes their faith and beliefs.

My faith based approach to counselling offers help towards healing and change. I am warm and non-judgmental, able to help with issues surrounding divorce and separation, co-parenting, anxiety and depression and anger management. I use my own faith and belief to lead my efforts in the counselling process. Through the help of a trained, professional counselor you can feel supported in any life transition.

When clients specifically request our counselling sessions to have a Christian focus I am able to integrate scriptual teaching & Christian counselling research within the broader field of psychotherapy assessment & treatment. When I take a Christian approach I find that therapy works towards alleviating psychological stressors while helping people to appropriate a deeper understanding & appreciation of the grace of God.

"LGBTQ-affirming Christian counselling, really?" I can't blame you for being skeptical. Many churches have caused great harm to their LGBTQ members through fear and shame based ideology, rejection, and abusive practices, such as conversion therapy. So... where do we go from here? Your spiritual journey is your own. Whether you work on deconstructing or interrogating or re-imagining your faith, I am here to support you. I work from a fully LGBTQ-affirming perspective to help queer Christians integrate faith and queer identity, normalize doubt, process religious trauma, and find a sense of belonging. There's nothing wrong with you. You are whole and holy, just as you are.
