Christian Counseling
Faith can be part of the conversation — when you want it to be.
For some, faith is a source of strength, meaning, and hope. For others, it's complicated by grief, disappointment, unanswered questions, or seasons of doubt. There is room for all of that here.
When requested, I am happy to integrate a Christian perspective into therapy. This may include exploring faith, values, spiritual practices, and questions of meaning and purpose as they relate to your goals and beliefs.
Faith is never imposed. You are always in control of what we discuss.
"No shame is beyond His mercy. No darkness is beyond His light."
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and honor your story — body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Faith Can Be Part of Therapy — If You Want It to Be
For some people, faith is inseparable from how they understand identity, relationships, suffering, grief, responsibility, hope and meaning.
It can belong in therapy.
Christian counseling at Ardent Grace does not mean replacing clinical care with simple spiritual answers or assuming that every problem has a faith-based solution.
It means your beliefs do not have to be checked at the door.
When you want faith incorporated into counseling, we can talk openly about spiritual questions, beliefs, values, prayer, meaning and the ways your faith influences the choices you make.
And when you don't want faith to be part of therapy, it doesn't have to be.
You Don't Have to Be Christian to Work With Me
Ardent Grace is a Christian counseling practice, but counseling is not limited to Christian clients.
You are welcome whether your faith is central to your life, complicated, changing, absent, or simply not something you want to discuss in therapy.
I will not assume that my beliefs are yours.
Good therapy requires understanding the person sitting in front of me — including the values and worldview that matter to that person.
Questions About Christian Counseling
Do I have to be Christian to work with you?
No. You do not need to be Christian or religious to work with me. Your values and worldview guide whether and how spiritual issues are included in therapy.
Will you bring Christianity into every session?
No. Faith integration is client-led. If Christian faith is important to you and you want it incorporated, it can be. If you prefer counseling without religious discussion, that is also completely appropriate.
Is Christian counseling different from regular therapy?
It can include the same clinical attention to emotions, behavior, relationships, trauma, grief, neurodivergence and mental health while also making room for Christian beliefs and spiritual concerns when those are relevant to the client.
Can I talk about doubts or anger at God?
Yes. Therapy does not require presenting a polished version of your faith. Questions, doubt, anger, disappointment, grief and changes in belief can all be discussed honestly when they are part of what you are experiencing.
You don't have to have all the answers.
You just have to be willing to take the next step.
