As a Christian it is comforting to know that your therapist has the same beliefs that you do. Feel safe sharing your concerns in a judgement free environment. Be confident that the changes you want to see as a result of working together will be mine as well.

I specialize in working with couples whether married or in a dating relationship, my training and experience (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) is centered around working within the context of marriage and relationships. I am a Christian who is a counselor, while not trained in Biblical Counseling; I support the Christian Faith and your beliefs. I welcome the discussion of faith in all sessions and will support its use in helping you through the difficulties you are experiencing.

As both a pastor and a therapist, I have a unique opportunity to have a positive impact in your life. I am passionate about weaving theology and psychology together in a way that lays a foundation for Jesus to change the human heart. Our work together will help you explore your true identity in Christ, addressing potential theological questions or roadblocks you may have and applying Biblical principles to your situation so you can be more aware of how to choose to live a life within God's will. Active prayer listening, addressing spiritual/Biblical matters and helping you encounter Jesus are all potential disciplines that we may utilize in our time together if you wish.

The basic message of the Bible is that God loves us, and does so not because we have earned this love, but simply because God chooses to love us because of who God is. We live our lives trying to find out what this means in everyday life, sometimes living as though we have to do something to deserve this love, and other times living as though it is impossible to be loved. I believe Christian counseling is at its heart simply finding out how to integrate God's love for us into our lives.

When you're seeking professional help from a counselor, you want to be assured that you have a shared belief in spiritual values with that counselor.

As a counselor who is a Christian, I value the integration of faith for one’s emotional wellbeing. You may have spent many hours reading and integrating the scriptures into your life, and yet, you find that your life is still without peace and maybe you question if God really cares about you. Our work together includes exploring the questions that you have and learning new ways to relate to yourself, others, and God, so that you experience God’s breath of life and hope. At core, my work with you is to hold to biblical foundations and walk with you on your journey of healing and redemption.
