ONLINE CATHOLIC COUNSELOR | HOUSTON & ACROSS TX

We were never meant to do all of this alone.

Therapy to help you navigate the intersection of your faith in Christ and your mental & emotional wellness.

Sometimes faith and the struggles of life seem to clash.

Maybe you’re carrying anxiety, grief, or depression, and the faith and purpose that once gave you direction now feels tangled with stress and questions. If you’re in ministry, you might feel stretched thin by the constant needs of others or discouraged by difficult dynamics with leaders or parishioners—leaving you wondering how to manage all this and still feel close to God.

You could be trying to follow your calling but feel held back by past wounds, family struggles, or mental health concerns. As you prepare for marriage or work on your current relationship, the impact of family patterns, past relationships, or unwanted behaviors is starting to create a sense of doubt, even as you try to move forward with integrity and faith.

For some, it’s financial or physical challenges that bring a sense of distance from faith. You may feel like you’re hanging on to something slipping away, uncertain if your Christian values and belief in God can still be a source of comfort when what you’re going through is so much harder than you expected. Or maybe you feel caught up in a rigid view of faith, where perfectionism makes it hard to experience the love and grace you’re seeking.

Here, you don’t need to have it all figured out.

Being a “good Christian” doesn’t mean being perfect.

MY APPROACH

Everyone I work with has their own faith journey, and I deeply respect that. You are welcome here, no matter what.

I offer faith-based therapy to support people facing the complex challenges of faith, family, work, and life because I’ve seen how difficult it can be to navigate these intertwined areas alone. With a background of over 25 years of working with ministries and master’s-level theology studies, I’m here to help clients integrate their faith in Christ with therapeutic approaches for true healing and growth.

For those who desire it, I bring together scripture, Church teachings, and research-based methods to help you grieve with hope, find peace, and explore faith even during challenging times.

You’re always free to question, feel anger, and face moments of doubt, knowing that faith can remain a foundation rather than a source of guilt or confusion. Together we’ll explore ways to manage grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, supporting you to find comfort and resilience in your own spiritual path.

I don’t assume a religious perspective unless you request it. If faith-based approaches aren’t relevant or feel difficult, we’ll work together through practical, evidence-based models that support your personal healing.

Faith-based therapy can help you…

Reconnect with your faith in ways that feel authentic

 Cultivate balance in your physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being

Understand the role of forgiveness in healing, both for yourself and others

Assess whether your relationships are building you up or bringing you down

Learn to spot and step away from any spiritual, emotional, or verbal abuse within faith settings

Find comfort in the promises of faith during times of uncertainty or distress

Embrace God’s grace and move away from perfectionism

Practice “riding the wave” of anxiety rather than avoiding it

Let’s tend to both your spirit and your mind.
