Integrating Faith in Therapy in Dublin, CA

Your faith is important to your life, so it’s important in your therapy, too.

Therapy is a space to bring your whole self: your strengths and your weaknesses, your joy and your sorrow, your confidence and uncertainty. If faith is an important part of your life, it can be an important asset in your therapy journey, too.

Faith is messy, and it’s welcome.

Faith can be a huge source of strength, comfort, hope, peace, community, and guidance. Spiritual practices offer grounding, wisdom, connection and clarity. Faith traditions mark time and frame meaning. And religion can also be complicated, full of more questions than answers, and sometimes the source of heartache and pain. Sometimes our faith community has deeply wounded us and there are painful things we were taught that we have to unlearn.

I love incorporating faith into therapy in a way that mirrors the complexities and joys of life.

There is no one-size fits all life, it’s full of surprises, joys, and challenging seasons. Often clients come to therapy with me to focus on relationship issues, fertility challenges, or anxiety, but also have a robust faith that they want honored and respected in their counseling journey. 

Amidst the mess, faith can still be a strength in your therapy.

If faith is an important or emerging part of your life that you want to include in therapy, I’d love to work with you too. While my personal background makes me most familiar with protestant Christian contexts, I have also really enjoyed working with Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, and Mormon clients.

While I have training and interest in integrating faith into therapy, I am trained as a licensed marriage & family therapist, not a pastor, biblical counselor, or spiritual director. If you have more questions about what it means to integrate faith in therapy, check out this blog.
