Faith-Guided Counseling
Available In-Person in Ripon, CA, and Online for Clients Across California
Your Faith as a Healing Resource
Faith, values, and beliefs are vital in the therapeutic process; you can’t just leave your values at the door. What you value will help guide our journey in therapy together, and we may explore various concepts that have meaning for you, including sin, forgiveness, and redemption.
One of my passions is working with Christian clients who are looking for support from a faith-based perspective. I also understand that not everyone comes from this background. Wherever you stand, whether Christian, of another faith or non-religious, you will be respected and treated with non-judgmental compassion and grace.
As a Christian therapist working with Christian clients, I strive to integrate a Christian worldview with clinical excellence and hold a commitment to biblical truth.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for from it flow the springs of life.”
~Proverbs 4:23
Finding Your Way
How faith-guided counseling can help:
Learn how to effectively integrate your spiritual beliefs into your everyday life.
Learn to apply biblical principles to the issues you struggle with most, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, unresolved anger, or hurts from the past.
Learn how to set healthy boundaries in alignment with your faith, beliefs, and values.
Gain support sorting through crises of faith after a traumatic event or significant loss.
Receive encouragement while navigating important life decisions - from relationships to education to career.
Ministry Care: Pastors possess a unique calling from God and can face issues of isolation and burnout. Ministry staff likewise can struggle to maintain a healthy balance and practice good self-care. Therapy can provide a confidential space for support for the unique concerns and challenges of the profession.
Start the Journey
I believe that the Christian life is a lifelong journey of learning to walk with God. We were created by God to love and worship Him with our whole being - heart, mind, soul, and strength.
I also believe that spirituality and emotional health are deeply entwined and that through right relationship with God and the support of others, we can heal and become more mature image-bearers of God. As I have benefited from others walking with me through my own faith journey, I count it a privilege to walk alongside you through yours.
