You shouldn’t have to choose between your faith and your mental health.
When faith is an important part of your life, navigating anxiety, depression, or difficulties in your relationships is uniquely challenging. It can be difficult to know where to turn.
As you seek support and healing from these things, you’re likely wanting someone who understands how important your faith is to you—someone who won’t dismiss your beliefs, ask you to compromise your values, or assume your faith is the reason you’re struggling.
At the same time, you may be carrying questions that feel difficult to talk about.
Maybe you’re wondering why you’re still struggling despite your faith. Maybe you’ve been told you should simply pray more, have more faith, or trust God more fully, leaving you feeling discouraged instead of supported.
Wherever you find yourself, therapy can be a place where your faith is respected, your experiences are taken seriously, and your mental health receives the same care and attention as every other part of your wellbeing.
Together, we’ll build on the strengths your faith already provides.
my approach
Faith looks different for every person. That’s why I don’t make assumptions about your beliefs, your values, or the role you want your faith to play in therapy.
Instead, we’ll explore what your faith means to you and how it can become a source of strength as you navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life’s inevitable hardships.
Together, we’ll…
Focus on beliefs, practices, and values that bring you hope, clarity, and resilience, rather than assuming what your faith “should” look like.
Create space for honest questions and difficult emotions without asking you to compromise beliefs that matter most to you.
Integrate your faith in ways that feel authentic and personally meaningful, allowing you to define what healing looks like for yourself.
Develop practical strategies that support lasting growth, so you leave therapy with tools you can continue using long after our work together has ended.
Our work will be tailored to the goals that matter most to you. As we work together, you’ll learn how to draw on your faith with greater intention, allowing it to become a steady source of comfort, perspective, and resilience when life feels difficult.
Through Faith-Based Therapy you can learn to…
Challenge anxious and self-critical thoughts with greater confidence.
Instead of letting fear, shame, or self-doubt shape your daily life, you’ll learn how to recognize unhelpful thought patterns and respond to them in healthier, more compassionate ways.
Use your faith as a source of strength instead of self-criticism.
Together, we’ll explore how your faith can become a place of hope, resilience, and encouragement, not another standard you feel like you’re failing to meet.
Respond to difficult thoughts with greater flexibility.
Rather than treating every anxious, scared, or discouraged thought as truth, you’ll learn to create space between your thoughts and your reactions, allowing the most life-giving parts of your faith to have a greater influence on how you move through life’s challenges.
Strengthen your relationships through shared values and understanding.
Whether you and your spouse share the same faith or have different perspectives, you’ll learn how your beliefs can become a foundation for greater patience, understanding, repair, and connection instead of conflict or division.
Build a faith that supports you through every season of life.
As you begin experiencing the real benefits of integrating your faith with your mental health, you’ll leave therapy with practical tools, greater confidence, and a stronger foundation for navigating future challenges.

Many people come to therapy feeling like they’re falling short—not just in life, but in their faith.

Not at all. Faith-based therapy doesn’t mean every session centers around religion. Your faith is always welcome in our conversations, but how much we incorporate it depends on your goals and preferences. My role is to meet you where you are and thoughtfully integrate your beliefs in ways that support your healing, not to force them into every conversation.
