Christian Counseling Glen Burnie, MD. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I have been a Christian for over 25 years. I attended seminary and have a worldview that is shaped by the Bible and my experiences personally. I validate each client’s worth, regardless of differing views, beliefs, or lifestyle. I recognize the grace that has been provided to me and extend compassion to others as a result. Clients are assisted to think in ways that are helpful, beneficial, and rational. Rational meaning accurate and soundly. I welcome you to contact my office to schedule an appointment.

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus states “If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.” This simple statement guides my approach to counseling. The light exists, and we sometimes need help to improve the soundness of our mental and emotional “eyes” to let more light into our personal awareness and influence our feelings, thoughts and behavior. I respect the sacred and unique way that each person experiences a relationship with God, especially during periods of mental, emotional, or relational distress. From my own study of the Bible, I am continually impressed by the applicability of Christian values and truth to issues of mental, emotional, and relational health.

I know firsthand the importance of faith in the midst of struggles. Having worked in hospital systems for many years, I find that one of the greatest joys of private practice is to be able to incorporate my Christian faith and background into my work with individuals who are recovering from difficult experiences. Together we can pray, seek out God's word in relation to present day struggles, and even ask big "why" questions. It is an honor when I am allowed to share in the faith journey and healing of others by welcoming Jesus into our work together.

Are you looking for counseling, but want a therapist who shares your Christian faith? My Christian faith has always been an essential part of my life, which is why, when I decided to become a psychotherapist, I chose to get my degree in pastoral counseling at what is now Loyola University Maryland. I consider my relationship with God to be an essential part of my ability to help my counseling clients. I also find shared aspects of Christian faith to be very useful when working with Christian clients; drawing upon our common beliefs can be a rich source of healing.
