1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud... It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

I work with couples of all backgrounds and respect each couple’s interest in integrating faith into our work together. Though not formally trained in Christian counseling, my personal experience allows me to create an especially unique and sacred space for Christian couples - a space that honors commitment, grace, and perseverance in marriage.

Integrating Faith-Based Values Into Our Work Together.

In today’s world, building a strong, lasting marriage rooted in faith can feel challenging. I work with couples who value marriage as a sacred commitment, helping them navigate the pressures of a culture that often prioritizes personal fulfillment over mutual growth. Together, we explore how to strengthen your relationship amidst these challenges, fostering trust, resilience, and purpose as you build a life that reflects your faith and values.

Blending Scripture-Based Principles with Evidence Based Practice

My approach blends scripture-based principles with evidence-based therapy models like Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I help couples explore biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, humility, and perseverance while applying therapeutic techniques that foster emotional connection, healthy communication and conflict resolution. Together, we use scripture to inspire growth, build strong relational foundations, and address challenges, creating a marriage that reflects your shared values and commitment.

How Christian Values Can Strengthen Your Marriage Mindset.

  • Selflessness: Modern culture often prioritizes personal happiness and self-fulfillment, while Christian marriage emphasizes serving one another and mutual sacrifice.

  • Lifelong Commitment: Secular views may see marriage as conditional or temporary, whereas Christian marriage is seen as a covenant that endures through challenges.

  • Faith-Based: Culture may focus on feelings of love as the foundation, while Christian marriage is grounded in faith, growth, gratitude, intentionality, and perseverance.

  • Partnership: Secular narratives may stress independence, while Christian marriage highlights unity and partnership.

  • Reconciliation: Culture may encourage avoiding or ending difficult relationships, while Christian marriage values forgiveness, grace, and reconciliation (except under circumstances of abuse, endangerment, infidelity, or lack of adherence to marital vows)
