Faith and Therapy — How Christian Counseling Supports Deep Healing

You don’t have to choose between your faith and your healing.

Many women come to therapy wondering:

“Is it okay to talk to a therapist when I should be trusting God?”
“Will my therapist understand how important my faith is to me?”

As a Christian therapist, I believe that God is the ultimate healer, and therapy can be one of the powerful tools He uses to bring restoration to your heart, body, and mind.

Healing Isn’t a Lack of Faith—It’s a Step of Faith

We were never meant to carry our pain alone.
Scripture tells us to “bear one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2), and sometimes that looks like asking for help from someone trained to walk with you through hard seasons.

Christian counseling creates a space where:

  • Your faith is honored and integrated into your healing

  • Biblical truth becomes the foundation for your growth

  • You don’t have to “hide” your values to get real support

Therapy That Goes Deeper Than Just Coping

In my practice, I combine faith-based counseling with tools like EMDR and nervous system regulation to help you:

  • Heal from past trauma and emotional wounds

  • Build resilience through Scripture and somatic tools

  • Deepen your connection with God through the healing process

  • Learn to silence the inner critic and replace it with truth

Because when you partner biblical truth with trauma-informed care, something powerful happens: you experience transformation—not just survival.

👉 You don’t have to walk this road alone. If you’re ready to invite God into your healing and take the next step, I’d be honored to walk with you.
