What Christian Counseling Looks Like in Practice
A blend of faith and evidenced-based therapy
In Christian counseling, your faith serves as the foundation for lasting healing and growth. Together, we will invite Jesus into the process while also using effective, evidence-based approaches such as CBT, CPT, and EMDR to address anxiety, stress, and past hurts. Each session is shaped around your unique needs and guided by both clinical expertise and biblical truth.
For those in Richmond, this means having a safe space where you can bring both your faith and your real-life challenges. You may be managing the demands of a busy career downtown, balancing family life in the suburbs, or seeking peace in the middle of daily stress. Sessions may include prayer, learning faith-based coping skills, exploring how therapeutic tools align with Scripture, or reflecting on passages that encourage growth and renewal.
Christian counseling is not about pushing away your struggles but about allowing Jesus to meet you in them. Here, you will find room to connect your personal challenges with your walk with Christ and discover how He can bring peace, strength, and restoration into every part of your life.
What is Christian Counseling?
Christian counseling is a place where faith and healing meet. Here, you do not need to set aside your walk with Jesus to work on your mental and emotional well-being. Instead, we welcome Him into the process, combining biblical truths with proven therapeutic approaches to help you experience real breakthrough. This kind of counseling affirms your faith while equipping you with practical tools to handle challenges with strength and confidence. Whether you are facing anxiety, the weight of past hurts, or the everyday pressures of life in Richmond, Christian counseling offers a safe space to grow closer to God, discover His peace, and move forward with renewed hope for the future.
Integrating biblical truths with clinically sound therapy
Why I Offer Christian Counseling
In my practice, I want you to know that I am not a pastor or a Bible teacher, but a licensed therapist who is clinically trained in evidence-based approaches and deeply rooted in my walk with Jesus. I believe that while evidence-based approaches are powerful tools, it is not until we invite Jesus into the space and allow Him to work and move in and through us and these techniques that real healing happens. Christian counseling is not about separating your faith from your healing journey. It is about weaving the two together, creating a space where prayer, scripture, and your relationship with God can walk hand in hand with sound therapeutic care. In our sessions, you do not have to leave Jesus at the door. Instead, we welcome Him into every conversation, every struggle, and every step toward growth.
