Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
When people ask me why I became a therapist, I usually pause—not because I don't know the answer, but because the real answer is layered. It didn’t come from a single moment of clarity, but rather from a life shaped by listening, leading, and loving others through pain. Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career decision; it was a calling that grew out of faith, lived experience, and the unwavering belief that healing is possible.
Long before I was licensed, before the degrees and the clinical hours, I was already doing the work of holding space for people’s stories. As a pastor, I sat with individuals and families navigating heartbreak, trauma, and transition. I witnessed how spiritual wounds often bled into emotional ones, and how difficult it could be for people—especially in the Black community—to find safe, nonjudgmental spaces to process their pain.
I became a therapist because I wanted to bridge the gap between spiritual care and emotional healing. I believe that faith and therapy are not in conflict—they are complementary. Both help us make sense of suffering, both invite us to be transformed, and both require courage.
In my own life, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t always come in a straight line. It comes through showing up, over and over, even when it’s hard. I wanted to walk alongside others as they show up for their own healing. I wanted to help people reclaim their stories from shame, trauma, or silence—and learn how to breathe again, love again, trust again.
My work is rooted in Christian values but grounded in evidence-based practices like EMDR, CBT, and trauma-informed care. I became a therapist to create a space where people can bring their full selves—their pain and their prayers, their doubt and their faith.
Ultimately, I became a therapist because I believe that no one is too far gone, too broken, or too lost for redemption. Healing is holy work. It is sacred ground. And I count it a privilege to walk that ground with those who are seeking peace, wholeness, and purpose.
If you're on a journey toward healing, I’m here. Let’s walk together.
