Faith-Integrated Therapy | Telehealth California
Healing Needs God
Transformational
As a former youth minister and psychotherapist, I know that mental illness is never just a clinical problem — it is a spiritual problem. I offer psychotherapy for body and soul.
Catholic Therapy is for people who try to keep Christ at the center of their lives and still find themselves circling the same struggles. I get it, maybe you have prayed for healing time and time again but you feel as if God just doesn’t hear you.
You have not failed—and God has not ignored you. Healing happens in relationship — with Him, and with others.

Faith & Clinical Work — Together.
Most Catholic and Christian clients come in having already tried one of two underwhelming options: a secular therapist who ignored their faith or a spiritual director who was compassionate but couldn't address the clinical dimensions of their wounds.
Neither approach was as transformative as you would have liked.
You need someone who understands both the body and soul. This is what I can provide.
Who is this For?
Catholics who take their faith seriously and still struggle
Catholics whose relationship with the Church is complicated
Christians from other traditions who want theological depth
Anyone drawn to meaning, purpose, and something bigger than coping skills
Faith integration is always optional. This is a clinical practice first.
Not a Fit If —
You want a therapist to affirm behaviors that contradict your beliefs, or prayer as a substitute for real clinical work.
