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,

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear." (1 Jn 4:18). Christ is the source and model of Love. In a place of love we are not afraid, there is acceptance in the presence of Christ and therein the freedom and safety to change. Current research into key factors of therapeutic healing points to "attachment:" Defined, this term matches the Biblical description of Love. Christ's Love is strong, restorative, clarifying and empowering. As we address the challenges and issues that are part of our earthly walk the love of Christ is here - present, strong and safe. In counselling we will prayerfully seek support in addressing relational and individual concerns

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.

I counsel clients from a christian ministry. God is there to heal, and I support clients through god's words. We pray and seek his guidance, to overcome the stress that is overwhelming you, it may be anxiety, depression, disconnect of a relationship with a loved one, lack of self-care and/or other new stress that you need counselling support. Whether it is physical or mental pain, I use many therapeutic techniques, together with Christian beliefs to help clients heal.

I was raised and educated in the church, and wherever I go, this background follows me. Maybe you're in the same boat: and the boat doesn't always sail smoothly, but it keeps you from drowning, all the same. If you need to talk to someone who understands that your decisions are formed in the context of your faith, I am here. If you need to talk about doubts or negativer feelings you have about your faith, I am here for that, too.

"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.

Is anyone tired of traditional "Christian" Counseling? I know I came to that place in my life growing up, when I didn't just want to hear that God could heal all of my messes (even though I knew He could - if it is His will), I wanted to know that someone (hear on earth) had my best interests at hand too! However, there is still evil around us, and we certainly don't just want to put our hearts in minds into the hands of just anyone. It is important, in my opinion, to have an educated counselor that knows what he or she is doing, who also see's counseling as a partnership between him/herself (the counselor), God and the power of prayer, and of course the client.

I offer Christian counselling that integrates the best of modern psychology with the wisdom from the Bible and Church teaching. Regardless of what denomination your from I can help you to apply the immense spiritual resources we have as Christians to aid you on your journey of mental health recovery. God sees you in your struggle and has compassion for you. Being a Christian doesn't mean always being happy. I'll create space for all your thoughts and feelings. If you feel hurt by the Church or distant from God I can help you explore these emotions in a safe non-judgmental environment. I'd be honoured to travel with you on your journey.

I am a Christian Counsellor that will work to thoughtfully include your relationship with God in the healing process. I work with clients who want to grow emotionally and spiritually, within a safe and clinically grounded environment. I combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a Christ-centered lens, because I believe that psychological healing and spiritual formation are deeply interconnected processes. While having faith does not replace the work of processing grief, anger, or trauma, it does provide the foundation and framework for freedom and lasting change.

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.

For every client that I see, I always offer an individualized and tailored approach by draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches in order to enable your mental health healing and functional recovery. Using a collaborative and client centered approach, I will walk alongside you and together, we will explore solutions to overcome life's obstacles.
