🕊️ Catholic Counseling
Faith-Based Therapy Rooted in Catholic Values
As a Catholic therapist provider in California, we offer compassionate counseling that integrates emotional healing with the truths of the Catholic faith. If you’re carrying a heavy spiritual burden — anxiety, guilt, scrupulosity, or spiritual dryness — you’re not alone. In therapy, you don’t have to choose between your mental health and your faith. Both can grow together.This is a space where your values, your relationship with God, and your inner struggles are honored with reverence and care.Catholic Counseling Can Help With:• Scrupulosity and moral anxiety
•Feeling distant from God or spiritually “dry”
•Guilt, shame, or fear of sin
•Spiritual warfare and temptation
•Discerning your vocation or next step in life
•Religious trauma or spiritual abuse
•Depression or anxiety through a Catholic lens
•Healing from past sin or relational wounds
•Balancing faith with modern mental health supportWhether you're actively practicing your faith, returning to it, or questioning parts of it — our work together will honor your journey and support your healing.🌿 Healing for the Soul & Mind
As a licensed Catholic therapist provider, we understand the depth of spiritual suffering and the hope that comes from grace. Therapy is not a replacement for spiritual direction or the Sacraments — but it can help untangle what’s emotional, what’s spiritual, and what’s been weighing on your heart for too long.You don’t have to carry this alone.“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” — St. Augustine📩 Reach Out
