Christian is a compassionate and skilled therapist at Journey Counseling, renowned for providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment for individuals and couples seeking support. With a focus on addressing painful emotions such as shame, anger, loneliness, and grief, Christian understands how unhealthy relationships can leave individuals feeling unseen and misunderstood. Clients often struggle with people-pleasing tendencies and boundary issues, leading to feelings of disconnection and a fear of rejection. Christian believes that transformative change begins through open discussions about clients' concerns, validating their experiences and identifying challenges that lead to feelings of being stuck. Utilizing a blend of traditional evidence-based counseling theories and biblical wisdom, Christian effectively helps clients untangle overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, and grief during difficult circumstances. Christian is trained in various therapeutic approaches, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), with significant experience in grief and loss, particularly regarding children, as well as foster care and adoption. Through their expert guidance, clients embark on a journey toward healthier communication, defined values, and stronger boundaries, all rooted in a Christian worldview perspective.
