Hi, my name is Stephen As a Christian do you ever feel like you are letting God down, or like you are not being faithful enough because you have real-life problems? Problems In your relationship, emotionally, behaviorally, or even with substance abuse. Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage their anxiety, depression, or burnout by addressing the needs of your body, mind, and spirit using the bible. I integrate current counseling theories with sound biblical principles to help develop a stronger relationship with God, and a stronger you. Whether you are dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. Seeking therapy can seem scary and maybe even against some of the teachings you've learned in church, but you are making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together I will meet with you, and your spouse if you want, with compassion and evidence-based techniques while using biblical principles so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. The research says that 1 in 4 people in the United States, at any given time, have mental health issues. This does not exclude the church. The average church in Virginia has 250 members attending on any given Sunday. That means that at least fifty people in your church service last Sunday are struggling with some type of mental illness or emotional problem. I work with churches to help them with ministering to the hurting, please let me help you.

As a long-standing and widely diverse professional clinician, I have broad knowledge and skills as a result of many years. I've worked hard to become a sound clinician by investing in ongoing learning several modalities. I have provided services to families, couples, individuals of all ages and genders. Although I view everyone in a high regard, I am not a provider for the LGBTQIA community and persons who need additional support like documentation for court, work accommodations and clearances. I am eager to assist people to achieve a better life. That starts with changes inward to be shown outward. With an integrative approach, I have learned to meet each client where he/she is with compassion and curiosity. I can be tactfully direct in pointing out some real contradictions and ask permission to determine your readiness to tackle the unsaid stuff in the session. Your courage to seek therapy is the beginning of your transformation.
