Christian & Faith-Informed Counseling

Many individuals and couples seek counseling that is both clinically strong and aligned with their Christian faith. Christian counseling offers an integrated approach for those who want professional mental health care that respects their beliefs while remaining grounded in evidence-based clinical practice.

I provide Christian and faith-informed counseling for adults and couples navigating concerns such as anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, marital conflict, and infidelity.  Counseling is thoughtful, clinically grounded, and tailored to each client’s goals and values.

What Is Christian & Faith-Informed Counseling?

Christian counseling integrates sound psychological care with Christian faith for clients who desire it. This approach allows therapy to address emotional, relational, mental, and spiritual dimensions of well-being while remaining grounded in professional standards and ethical practice.

Faith-informed counseling is not pastoral counseling and is not directive or prescriptive. Instead, it offers a professional therapeutic space where faith can be meaningfully included in a way that supports growth, healing, and personal responsibility.

How Faith Is Integrated Into the Counseling Process

Clients determine the extent to which faith is incorporated into counseling. For some, faith plays a central role in the work; for others, it is included more subtly or discussed as it naturally arises.

Faith integration may include reflection on values, spiritual beliefs, and the role faith plays in relationships, identity, and decision-making. Counseling remains clinically focused and is always guided by client preference, clinical appropriateness, and professional judgment.

Christian Counseling for Individuals

Individual Christian counseling is available for adults seeking support with concerns such as anxiety, identity questions, relationship patterns, and major life transitions. Many clients are high-functioning adults who want to better understand themselves, strengthen emotional health, and live with greater intention and integrity.

For individuals whose faith is important, counseling can provide space to explore how spiritual beliefs intersect with emotional well-being, relationships, and personal growth—without judgment or pressure.

Christian Marriage Counseling & Infidelity Recovery

For couples, Christian counseling may include  Christian marriage counseling that integrates faith with evidence-based approaches to relationship work. I help couples strengthen communication, address patterns of conflict or distance, and build healthier ways of relating.

I also specialize in Christian infidelity recovery counseling, supporting couples as they navigate the aftermath of betrayal and work toward clarity, healing, and rebuilding trust. Infidelity recovery requires structure, clinical experience, and care, particularly for couples whose faith is central to their marriage.

Couples counseling incorporates research-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, which can be thoughtfully integrated with Christian values for couples seeking both clinical depth and faith-informed care. This allows couples to engage in relationship work that is both structured and spiritually meaningful, rather than choosing between faith and clinical effectiveness.

Experience Serving Christian Individuals and Couples

I bring extensive experience to this work, including 17 years serving in the Counseling Ministry at Southeast Christian Church, where I worked closely with individuals and couples seeking counseling that honored and strengthened their faith.

Combined with over 30 years of clinical experience, this background allows me to work thoughtfully with Christian clients who want counseling that is both spiritually sensitive and professionally rigorous.
