As a Christian therapist, I specialize in helping clients navigate spiritual issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, and family dynamics using Strengths-Based, Problem Solving, and Task-Centered approaches. I also integrate faith-based principles with evidence-based practices, providing holistic care rooted in biblical values upon client’s request. By addressing mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, I guide clients in fostering personal and spiritual growth, creating a compassionate and supportive space for healing and transformation.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial sessions, we'll thoroughly explore your concerns and collaboratively develop a personalized plan to address them, aiming to restore balance and well-being in your life. Many clients experience a gradual alleviation of symptoms within the first month, with continued improvement over time.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

What makes me unique as a therapist is my integration of faith-based principles with evidence-based therapeutic approaches like strength-based and solution-focused therapies. My experience working in diverse settings—including mental health, schools, hospitals, and faith-based environments—has given me the versatility to support clients from various backgrounds. Additionally, my commitment to honoring each client’s beliefs and respecting cultural differences, while offering a Christ-centered perspective when desired, enables me to tailor therapy to individual needs. This combination of spiritual and psychological insight, along with deep empathy and a collaborative approach, allows me to offer a distinct path toward healing and growth.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My ideal client is open to growth despite challenges like trauma, depression, or family stress. They seek therapy for emotional stability, self-awareness, and integrating spiritual beliefs into healing. They desire a safe space to process, learn coping strategies, and transform pain into strength.

My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

As an experienced clinician in Christian counseling, I integrate faith-based principles with therapeutic practices to support clients' emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. This approach often involves incorporating prayer and scripture, when desired and a focus on the client's relationship with God to facilitate healing and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As an experienced clinician in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns to foster positive behavioral changes. This approach equips clients with practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues by focusing on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Strength-Based

As an experienced clinician in the Strengths-Based Approach, I focus on identifying and leveraging clients' inherent strengths and resources to address their challenges. This method empowers clients by building on their existing capabilities and fostering resilience, promoting a positive and proactive path to personal growth and problem-solving.
