Catholic Faith-Focused

“We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures. We are the sum of the Father’s love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son, Jesus.”
–St. Pope John Paul II

First things first…

I have no agenda to convert or catechize anyone who comes to me for mental health services. That is not my role as a therapist.

But if you want to bring your faith into your mental health journey, I am here for it!

Even if you’re not religious, or if you’re of another faith background, we can still work well together.

Perhaps you’ve been down this road before…

You’ve tried therapy, but your therapist didn’t quite understand your Catholic faith.

Or you’ve had well-meaning folks tell you to “pray harder” for your depression and anxiety to disappear. After all, we’re “too blessed to be stressed!”

Finding someone who understands isn’t easy.

I’m a practicing Catholic, so I get it.

You won’t have to spend half your session explaining the intricacies of your faith and how it plays a central role in your mental and emotional health.

And you won’t have to worry that I will suggest something contradictory to your beliefs.

I also know what it’s like to have that inner critic constantly putting you on a guilt trip. You know… that voice constantly chiming in, telling you you’re being too prideful, greedy, angry, envious, or lazy. It has good intentions, but ultimately, you just feel guilty all the time.

Or maybe you feel bad for not feeling “guilty enough!”

I’m not here to judge you.

That’s not my job.

My goal is to help you see yourself as God sees you – precious and beloved – and to assist you as you integrate different parts of yourself and bring order to your mind.

I understand how psychology and religion can complement each other, and I can give you the tools and resources to integrate them into your life.

I also offer the Prepare/Enrich marriage preparation assessment for engaged couples seeking ways to strengthen their relationship for years to come. Couples can be of any faith background (or none) to utilize Prepare/Enrich.
