| Practice Description: |
Catholic Christian Counseling for Children, Adults, Couples and Families for healing emotionally, and growing spiritually.
You may be looking for help with feeling sad, or being worried, or having a low self-image, or maybe you’re having problems with parenting, or with your parents, your spouse, fiancé, or some other relationship… or maybe some other need entirely.
Maybe right now you’re not even sure that life is “bad enough” to reach out for help. Well, on this side of the “Pearly Gates”, life is difficult enough without needlessly living with extra burdens.
It’s a natural, God-given instinct to want to get rid of, or work through your pain. And when it’s painful, life can sometimes feel more like a burden than a gift. Sometimes that can lead you to feeling very alone. Please know that you don’t have to carry your burdens alone. The Lord, our God, is always with you, nearer than it feels. He also gave us one another to share not just our joys, but our burdens as well.
When you’re looking for professional help, you want someone you can trust. If you’re a committed Christian, you’ll appreciate having a therapist who can not just help you feel better, but one that understands and supports your love of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures as well. And if you’re a Catholic Christian, you’ll also appreciate having a therapist who shares your faith and your love of the Sacraments that Christ gives to us. You want a professional therapist who won’t threaten or undermine your faith - one who won’t demean or look down on your cherished beliefs. You want a therapist who’ll uplift you, one who seeks to take good care of you – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Good “soul care.” Why not take the option of enhancing your treatment with a Catholic Christian approach – as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
The more that God, our Creator, is brought into your life, the better off you’ll be and that’s especially true when you’re in pain and struggling with life. The “Great Physician” knows you and can help you more than any mere human can. But, to paraphrase St. Teresa, “Christ has no body now on earth but ours” and it is often through one another that He ministers to us. And likewise I seek to be His healing hands to those who seek my help.
I opened my own practice so that I could provide counseling for my brothers and sisters in Christ from an authentically Catholic Christian perspective. A perspective that not only "tolerates" or "accepts" your faith, but truly values and embraces it! I’m a therapist today because God gave me the gifts that I have so that I can help His children become more of who He intended them to be – whole and holy.
So check out the web site, or call me at 562-431-6190, then put my clinical training, my skills, and our faith in Christ to work toward helping you, and become more of the person that God wants you to be.
I’d be honored if you chose me to help you.
May our Lord richly bless you and those you love!
Pro-Life. Pro-Marriage. Professional.
