Christian Counseling National City, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

What makes counseling Christian? Counseling is guided by principles. Christian Counseling is guidance by the universal principles taught in the Bible. So the perspective given is based upon the teachings of love, relationships, self control, and care that help us deal with the fear, anger, sadness, cravings and shame that can rule us if we don’t learn to manage them. Christian Counseling is enhanced by Presence of Christ in the process. My goal as a Christian Counselor is to provide guidance based upon the principles of Scripture and also to assist you in connecting with the Presence of Christ so you can find the comfort and power to implement the principles.

AS a Christian therapist, I believe that a person's understanding, belief and relationship to Jesus Christ significantly impacts how they perceive themselves, relate to others and deal with life challenges. I utilize pyschological methods and skills to help clients practically apply the principles of the Christian faith in managing and solving their life struggles. Successfully overcoming the struggles of life greatly depends upon hope for the future. I believe that a Christian based approach is affective becasue of the hope found in the person of Jesus Christ. Christian therapy can provide clients the needed confidence and courage to take responsibility for their life situation.

Each therapist at Relate has training and experience with integrating psychology and spirituality in psychotherapy. While our training has primarily been focused on integrating Christian theology with psychology, we work with people from all faith backgrounds. Additionally, we focus on religious/spiritual issues in therapy if that is an important part of our clients' lives. If religion/spirituality is not an important area of focus, it will not be a focus of treatment.

Christian counseling is beneficial in assisting individuals to develop personal wholeness, interpersonal adeptness, mental wellness and spiritual maturity. Christian counseling provides strength, direction and healing using the wisdom and guidance from Jesus Christ's teachings and life. Allowing God's truth to enter one's heart is the foundation for healing within Christian counseling. Christian Counseling is dedicated to providing professional counseling services that integrate mind, body, and spirit, and bring people to relational wholeness with God, self, and others.

If you are feeling stuck in your relationship with God, I offer you an invitation to come and explore the areas that may be keeping you from more intimacy with Him.

I chose to became a professionally trained therapist after talking with so many Christians and Christian leaders who suffered from anxiety and depression. From personal experience, I found a need for pastors and their spouses and children to provide a safe place outside of their church to seek help. I have seen how life challenges produced feelings of anxiety and depression that negatively impacted one’s daily life, spiritual calling, and personal faith in God. My heart and passion is to provide a safe place of healing for people of faith, spiritual leaders and their family, where they know their faith will no be challenged, but rather encouraged.

I work specifically on understanding how disconnection and distance happens in your relationships and help you build a more secure, lasting connection with those who matter most.

As a Christian and a graduate from Bethel Seminary, I am aware of how a person's spiritual faith is integrated into all aspects of one's life. For many people it is important to find a therapist who understands and values their faith in Jesus Christ. I endeavor to meet each person where they are at in their spiritual journey, respecting individuals from various spiritual backgrounds.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

I received my Marriage and Family Therapy education at Bethel Seminary where I was trained to integrate my Christian faith with effective therapy practices. Human beings are created in the image of a God who is relational within his being. We are made for relationship. I have a passion for helping individuals, couples, and families find relationship healing and develop solutions to life’s challenges that are consistent with their Christian faith. Sometimes life can lead us to crises of faith. It is helpful to have a supportive relationship with a therapist as we work out our faith. Contact me.

I am a Christian, licensed marriage, and family therapist. To me, that means the Holy Spirit is the Co-Therapist. God made us in His image and He models connection and healing in His relationship with us. It is my desire to help you address your issues through your Heavenly Father's eyes and receive compassion, strength, and healing for life's struggles. God tells us in His word, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life." (Proverbs 13:12) Through prayer, Scripture and the clinical skills, God blessed me with, I hope to help you fulfill your dream for God's healing.

For many people, faith is a foundational part of who they are and how they see life. If this is true for you, you probably want to have your faith incorporated into your therapy. I accomplish this not by telling you what I believe, but by helping you explore how your beliefs impact whatever you are struggling with. While the methods of therapy that I practice are effective in the absence of faith, applying your faith to them can make therapy even richer. I’d love to talk to you more about how this might be a good approach for you.
