Catholic-Christian Therapy | Telehealth California
Transformational
healing needs God
True healing happens in relationship — with God and with others. That’s why I integrate solid clinical tools (like IFS and somatic work) with deep attention to your soul and spiritual life.
As a Catholic therapist and former youth minister, I understand how important it is to have faith at center of our therapy work.
How I can help you Clinically.
I integrate our faith, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic (body-based) therapeutic approaches to help you experience genuine transformation.
77%
Want Faith Addressed
77% of patients with religious beliefs say they would like their spiritual concerns addressed in therapy — but most report it never comes up. (Pew Research, 2021)
92%
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
92% of participants with complex PTSD no longer met diagnostic criteria one month after completing IFS therapy. Significant reductions in depression and trauma symptoms were also observed. (Hodgdon et al., 2022)

Somatic Experiencing & Nervous System Work
Somatic Experiencing demonstrated large reductions in anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and chronic nervous system dysregulation. Participants reported significantly better emotional regulation and a greater sense of safety in their bodies. (Brom et al., 2017)
Issues I Help With
I specialize in helping believers find healing in the areas that most commonly keep them feeling stuck and tired despite their faith.
Anxiety & Overthinking — Racing thoughts, constant worry, difficulty resting in God’s peace
Sexual Issues & Pornography — Shame around sexuality, unwanted behaviors, and rebuilding healthy intimacy with God and others
Technology & Screen Addiction — Compulsive use of phones, social media, or gaming that interferes with focus, relationships, and spiritual life
Complex Trauma & Relational Wounds — Healing from past pain, betrayal, abandonment, or childhood trauma that continues to affect your present
Relationship Issues — Repeating unhealthy patterns, people-pleasing, trust issues, emotional disconnection, or conflict in marriage and dating
Spiritual Issues — Feeling distant from God, spiritual warfare, intrusive or condemning thoughts, shame-based faith, and spiritual exhaustion
