Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist

Several of our therapists here at SCC are Christians and conduct therapy from a God-centered viewpoint. We try to meet clients where they are at and apply scripture and faith-based work when applicable. We're not here to judge, but we're happy to walk along this journey with you.

Sometimes we can get thrown into changes we weren’t ready for: a personal or family member with a medical diagnosis, an unexpected death of a loved one, struggles with infertility, or relationship challenges. Maybe the change is welcomed: a recent engagement or marriage, the birth of a child, graduation, or a child moving on to college. Regardless of whether these changes are expected or unexpected, wanted or unwanted, I am confident that together, we can embrace these changes in the midst of our joy or grief and become our own resources when we learn new ways to approach the issue or the situation. This is the heart of my therapeutic approach. I believe individuals, couples, and families have the ability to change—sometimes they just need some assistance to do so. With almost 20 years of experience working with couples, individuals, and families, I have helped many clients obtain the tools necessary to improve their lives. I am ready to walk with you on your journey and look forward t

I recognize that taking this step to talk to someone and getting help can be very hard and daunting. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can come and be their authentic selves. I am aware that life’s challenges and difficulties can cause strain on your day-to-day life, relationships, and your sense of self. I strive to provide a custom-fit approach for individuals, couples, and families. As a marriage and family therapist, I aim to help relationships get stronger, restore, and heal. I am committed to working with you during this unsettling time and to help you and your family find a better quality of life.

My approach to therapy is systemic-based, meaning that I see much of life’s problems as a by-product of our surroundings including; family, relationship with others, society, culture, and the environment around us. When working with couples I use attachment theory, EFT modalities, and intergenerational models to help couples make sense of their situation and build a b

I believe therapy is not just for the hard times, but for the growing times. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you and help you grow with every step. Let’s take the first steps together and learn more about each other.

I use an eclectic approach combining genuine compassion with models such as The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based practices. I view our emotions to be at the core of how we act and interact with others. Throughout our sessions we will explore and learn more about what makes us tick and how to accomplish long-lasting change. Every session is tailored to fit the interests and needs of the client as we work together in a safe, warm, and collaborative space.

I specialize in treating couples and individuals with relationship issues. Whether you’re married, living together, or dating, I’m experienced in helping people just like you. Or maybe you’re divorced and need help co-parenting, I work that population too. I am trained in interpersonal relationship dynamics and processes. I’ve conducted research on couples and would love to help your relationship thrive. I help people reconnect with their partner, rekindle the passion they once had, and redefine their relationship moving forward. I work WITH clients instead of for them. Your goals are my goals and I have the training and experience to assist you in meeting those goals.

As a Christian, I recognize the power of faith in anyone’s life and relationships. Although I am not a Christian Counselor, I love the opportunity to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process when applicable. I have seen firsthand the transformative power of faith in and out of the therapy room, and would be happ
