What Is Faith-Based Therapy? (And Is It Right for Me?)

What Is Faith-Based Therapy?
For many people, faith is more than just a belief system — it’s a source of strength, identity, and guidance. So when life feels overwhelming, it makes sense to want a therapist who not only understands evidence-based techniques but also honors your spiritual journey. That’s where faith-based therapy comes in.

Integrating Faith and Therapy
Faith-based therapy brings together the best of two worlds: clinical expertise and spiritual insight. In my practice, this means creating a space where we can explore emotional struggles while also grounding ourselves in the hope and truth of Scripture — when that is meaningful to you.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, or relational pain, faith-based therapy allows us to look at your challenges through both a psychological and spiritual lens — helping you heal with the support of both proven tools and the deeper values that guide your life.

What Makes It Different?
You don’t have to leave your beliefs — or your questions — at the door. If you’re a person of faith, we can weave prayer, Scripture, or spiritual reflection into our work together. But if you're not religious or unsure where you stand spiritually, that’s absolutely okay, too.

Many of my clients simply want a compassionate therapist who respects their worldview and meets them where they are. Whether or not faith is a part of your life, you'll find a safe, nonjudgmental space here.

Do I Have to Be a Christian?
No. I work with people from various walks of life — Christian or not — who are seeking emotional healing, personal growth, or help navigating life’s challenges. While my own perspective is rooted in Christian values, my approach is never about preaching or pressure. It’s about connection, healing, and honoring the whole person.
