Do you provide Christian Counseling?
I’m a Christian who is a trained mental health counselor. My faith gives me the strength to love others and be present for the joy and the difficult things in life.
I’m a good fit for clients who desire counseling from a Christian perspective and prefer a therapist who shares their values. I’m also good at balancing family values with teen culture, and I never force religion into the counseling room.
I value other faith traditions, and the inclusion of faith in counseling is always a matter of client preference.
What is your approach?
My counseling approach is based on cognitive theories like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We’ll work to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and increase acceptance of what we can’t control. I often teach Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to promote emotional regulation.
I love to incorporate creative methods like narrative therapy, art, and music, and I will often suggest workbooks or outside reading to support your healing.

I’ve never been to therapy. What should I expect?
Therapy works best if you feel safe, comfortable, and understood. You’ll have the opportunity to share and process things that may have been bottled up for a long time.
I encourage open and honest communication, so if something isn’t working, we’ll talk about it and adjust.
