I am a caring trauma-informed Christian (Roman Catholic) therapist and I can incorporate a Christian-based perspective in therapy with my clients as they please.
Are you feeling hopeless and stuck? Is trauma impacting you from living a fulfilled life? Are you struggling with your relationships with family and friends? Are you being triggered daily and reliving old trauma? Do you want to thrive instead of struggle? Traumatic experiences can impact every facet of our current lives if it hasn’t been processed. If you have experienced trauma that inhibits you to live in the moment and thrive instead of struggle, maybe it's time to begin therapy. Processing traumatic experiences can improve your perception of yourself and can positively impact your relationships with people in your life.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist rooted in the Christian faith, I integrate psychological and Biblical perspectives into my practice.
Do you ever wish someone truly understood what you're going through? Relationships are hard. Life is hard. Being alone in it is even harder. Sometimes we all need help figuring things out or how to move forward. What is influencing your present? Our past is not suppose to dictate our present, but sometimes it does. Our life was not meant to be filled with sadness, fear, or regrets. Good communication, fulfilling relationships, and a sense of wholeness are all possible. What about loss? Sometimes we can't get back what we want, but if we get stuck in grief we end losing more. With help, relationships and situations can get better.

I offer counseling that is rooted in a Christian world view, though those not seeking this approach receive my utmost respect and sensitivity to their world view.
I meet with clients at my offices in Elk Grove and Gold River. I specialize in couples, singles and individual counseling of adults. I address issues from trauma & abuse recovery to relationships to anxiety, depression, grief and loss. A key resource in recovery from traumatic events involves strengthening our ability to attach to ourselves and others in a way that soothes and calms our nervous systems and grounds us, based on the latest neurological research and evidence-based techniques. This therapy can be much more effective and require a shorter duration of treatment than traditional talk therapy.

If you find yourself looking for someone who comes from a Christian perspective to help you find hope and healing, let me help you.
I believe that people are all inherently relational beings and when our relationships - whether with ourselves, other people, or God - are hurting, life can become incredibly painful.

I offer Biblical counseling for Christian-identifying clients who are interested, which is a type of counseling employing the Bible and prayer in the counseling process.
Hello! I’m glad you found me here. I have significant experience using Family-Based Treatment (FBT), the leading evidence-based treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa that can effectively treat other eating disorders as well. I also have ample experience in treating adolescents and young adults with eating disorders utilizing other common modalities such as CBT and DBT. People with eating disorders often struggle with other obstacles such as trauma and anxiety. As a result, I've become competent in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based treatment for trauma and other stressors.

I am a Christian counselor and I want to draw in the power of the Holy Spirit to guide us in finding what went wrong in a marriage that had such a hopeful future.
“The time is now. The time is now.” This short but dominating sentence is now going on in your mind. “Corey hasn’t been close for a long time. I remember when he was always interested in me, wanting to know about me, my thoughts and dreams. He would often approach me for sex and it was like we were just one person.” Heather has been thinking about how things have changed over the last year. She tells me in her initial phone call that he has been secretive and his mind has been occupied. Heather says they need help NOW to communicate in better ways.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
