Christian counseling is more than therapy with a spiritual twist—it’s an intentional partnership between your faith and the therapeutic process. In our sessions, we might begin with prayer, reflect on a passage of Scripture, or invite the Holy Spirit to reveal what needs to be brought into the light.

You’ll be equipped with both biblical and clinical tools to navigate anxiety, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Healing is not about ignoring pain but allowing God to meet you in it. As you process emotions and experiences, you’ll see how His truth brings clarity, conviction, and comfort.

Jesus modeled compassion and presence with those who were hurting. In the same way, faith-based counseling invites His presence into the very places where healing is needed most—transforming pain into purpose and fear into faith.

Why Shared Faith Matters in Counseling

For many Christians, finding a therapist who shares their faith is deeply important. You may long to talk about Scripture, prayer, or spiritual struggles without having to explain your beliefs—or worry that they’ll be misunderstood.

When you work with Breakthrough Mental Health Counseling, you can freely express your faith while also addressing emotional and mental health challenges. Together, we’ll explore how God’s Word and evidence-based practices work hand in hand to bring growth and renewal.

This shared foundation allows for deeper trust and connection in the counseling process. You’ll know that your counselor not only understands your clinical needs but also shares your desire to walk closely with Christ, even in seasons of difficulty.

When I first began my work as a counselor, my focus was on learning the skills, completing my training, and growing through internships. But as I continued my own walk with Jesus, I began to see how clearly Scripture points to the truth that everything we have—our breath, our lives, our gifts, and even our knowledge —comes from God alone. These blessings are not meant to be kept to ourselves, but to be shared in service to others, to wash one another’s feet, and to live as the hands and feet of Jesus in this world.

The more I grew in my faith, the more I realized that counseling should not be separate from a relationship with Christ. In today’s world, it can feel difficult for Christians to know how to address mental health struggles while staying rooted in faith. Yet we were never meant to walk through these challenges apart from Him. Bringing Jesus and the Holy Spirit into the counseling room allows us to hold both truth and grace—to acknowledge hardships while also finding the purpose, growth, and hope that God provides.

This is why I offer Christian counseling. My desire is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for believers to wrestle honestly with life’s struggles while staying anchored in their faith. In our work together, I will walk alongside you as both a guide and an encourager, meeting you where you are while also holding you accountable when it’s needed. My prayer is that in our time together, you will not only find support and tools for managing your struggles but also experience the presence of Jesus more deeply in the process.
