Christian Counselors in Washington

In Psalm 50:15 God says, “Call upon me in thy day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” My mom taught me this Scripture when I was three years old. I have used it many times in my life. We all struggle to reach out and let others help, but you are doing just that. You are asking God for guidance, you are calling out for help, and I believe that God will deliver you from your troubles. As a licensed counselor with over 30 years of experience, I will help you evaluate your current circumstances and accomplish your goals by using proven and effective techniques and strategies. As you draw from the power of the Holy Spirit, you will be led down the path of healing and purpose that God has for you.

With kindness and compassion, I will meet you where you are and offer a safe place where you can be encouraged as we work together toward overcoming the challenges you face.

We all experience mental health adversities that can change from season to season. Together in session, we will look to the Lord and His guidance combined with effective therapeutic approaches to help you maintain peace as life’s storms come your way.

Trained at the Allender Center, I offer faith-based, trauma-informed counseling that goes beyond symptom relief to create lasting change.

After 20 years of marriage, four kids, and an abundance of experience with mental health issues like depression and anxiety, I'd love to sit down with you and help you figure out the “Why?" and the "Now what?" regarding the challenges you’re facing—and discover where we can find the power to do such courageous and important work. Whether relational, behavioral, or mood concerns, I specialize in a deep and comprehensive approach toward freedom as we put the “grid of the gospel” down on each and every issue we work through together.

As a counselor, I seek to be sensitive to my clients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual condition during any given session, following their lead to determine which direction we’ll go with our conversation. I try not to push beyond their capacity, but rather gently guide and point things out as we travel together on the path toward healing and well-being. I provide a welcoming, judgment-free zone in which clients can share their burdens and feel heard and understood. I’d love to chat with you about how you can write a new chapter in your story.

As your therapist, my first goal is to help you feel genuinely seen and heard as we partner together to unpack and explore the challenges and goals you are bringing to counseling.

Using proven therapeutic tools from a faith-based perspective, I will support you in the eventual goal of taking the insights learned in sessions to spread your wings beyond therapy.

Are you overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors? Maybe you are losing the battle with pornography or you and your partner are working through an affair.

As your counselor, I will help you uncover the root of these thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and together we will work toward creating realistic and trackable goals for you to accomplish. I offer an open-minded space where you can explore difficult topics and challenging questions, while providing gentle direction based on solid, evidence-based practices.

With twelve years of pastoral experience, I’ll help you identify the roadblocks in your life and formulate a plan to remove them. When you come to see me for counseling, I will seek to do more than listen to your troubles and offer words of comfort. Rather, I will seek to encourage you in your faith and enter into the trenches with you. Together we will identify the issues holding you back from experiencing the fullness of life and formulate a plan to move you toward real freedom. Therapy may not always be easy, but if you are willing to engage in the process, then together we can find you a way through the darkness and into the light of Christ. In His presence there is hope, healing, and lasting peace.
