Christian counseling
When life gets bumpy, it can be hard for people of faith to know who to trust with their whole story.
Maybe you’ve experienced hurt or rejection from other Christians, or been brushed off by believers who mean well but leave you feeling more lonely than ever.
Maybe you’ve felt confused about how your relationship with God relates to your emotional suffering, not sure if your prayers are being heard.
Christ did promise us that “in this world you will have trouble.” But knowing how to access his promised presence in the midst of that trouble can be hard to figure out.
With deep roots in both Protestant and Catholic traditions, along with extensive experience in the practice of psychology, I am eager to support you in blending your spiritual journey with your mental health healing process. Because “all truth is God’s truth,” we can fearlessly integrate therapy and Scripture, mindfulness and prayer, or self-care and spiritual disciplines.
God cares about all of you, including your mental health.
You won’t get cheesy platitudes from me, and your concerns won’t be minimized. I won’t be pushy, judgmental, or controlling, and I won’t tell you what to believe. It will always be yours to choose if, when, and how you would like your spirituality integrated into therapy.
This is your journey, and God is right there with you.
What to Expect.
Free phone consult
We’ll start with a brief phone call. I want to make sure you feel comfortable talking with me, that you’re clear on how it all works, and that I feel confident I can help you. You can ask any questions that help you feel ready for the good work of therapy.
I get it - finding the right therapist is a big deal, and you need to know I’m the right fit before you can feel comfortable jumping in.
Intake session
You’ll fill out some paperwork online, then in our first session (either in-person or online) you’ll fill me in on what you’ve been through, what you’re experiencing now, and what you hope to get out of therapy. In response, I’ll share initial reflections and assesment, along with recommendations.
You’ll leave with some relief at getting started and having a better feel for what to expect.
Ongoing sessions
I’ll hold a weekly therapy time for you, which will be 50 minutes long. Once you’re feeling better, you can choose if you would like to decrease frequency to biweekly or less as you begin integrating your therapy skills into your life on a more independent basis.
You can let me know along the way what’s working for you so I can make adjustments as needed - this time is for you!
