I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more than coping — they want direction and lasting change rather than brief advice or symptom management. My approach integrates psychological insight with Christian faith, helping you identify the patterns, beliefs, and relational dynamics that keep you stuck and replace them with healthier ways of thinking and living so positive change can occur. Our sessions together will move beyond surface conversation into meaningful therapeutic work, allowing you to approach decisions, relationships, and life transitions with greater confidence and alignment with your values and faith.

(424) 438-2888 connect@cachristiancounseling.com

As a Christian Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I offer both psychotherapy (therapy) and counseling services. Although the focus and methods overlap considerably, counseling tends to be more problem-focused and shorter duration (adjusting to a destabilizing life transition or loss, making important health changes, or improving communication skills, for example). Therapy can address deeper, broader goals and clinical conditions, such as gaining insight into one’s purpose, breaking a pattern of unhealthy relationships or recovering from major depression or anxiety disorders. As a supplement to traditional therapy, many of my clients have also benefitted from relaxation and stress management training and/or health counseling.

I’ve been in your shoes in the past, seeking to find help from a Christian counselor – yet all I found were people who relied on their label as a Christian and their knowledge of science to counsel. This led me to strive to be more, with God’s help. Through my professional training, I sought to find out how the Bible informs our mental health and psychological well-being so I could give my clients a solid foundation of truth to use against any of their mental health and relational challenges. I bring this knowledge into each session, allowing His truths to provide real, lasting healing.
