How Christian Counseling in San Diego Can Support Your Mental Health and Faith
A compassionate and spiritual approach to therapy that honors your whole self
If you’re searching for Christian counseling in San Diego, chances are you’re longing for more than just symptom relief—you’re looking for a deeper kind of healing. One that not only helps you feel better emotionally but also reconnects you to your faith, values, and identity in Christ.
Maybe you’re navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship struggles—and wondering how to bring both therapy and spiritual support into your healing. Or perhaps you've tried therapy before, but something felt... incomplete, like your spiritual beliefs weren’t fully seen or honored.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to choose between emotional healing and spiritual growth. You can have both.
What Is Christian Counseling?
Christian counseling integrates evidence-based therapeutic practices with Christian faith and biblical wisdom. It’s therapy that acknowledges the importance of mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual health—because they’re all interconnected.
Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, struggling with anxiety, navigating marriage challenges, or walking through a crisis of faith, Christian counseling in San Diego can be a space where you don’t have to compartmentalize your life or your heart.
Why Choose Christian Counseling in San Diego?
San Diego is a diverse, vibrant city with a wide range of counseling options. But for those seeking therapy that aligns with their faith, Christian counseling provides a unique opportunity to explore healing through both a psychological and spiritual lens.
As a Chula Vista therapist, I understand how important it is to feel like your values and beliefs are respected. In my work with clients, I hold space for both clinical expertise and spiritual encouragement—without pressure, judgment, or assumptions.
When Might Christian Counseling Be Helpful?
Here are just a few of the concerns people bring to Christian counseling:
“I’m overwhelmed with anxiety and unsure how to trust God through it.”
“I feel stuck in shame, and I know what the Bible says about grace—but I can’t feel it.”
“My marriage is struggling, and we need support grounded in our faith.”
“I’ve experienced church hurt, and I don’t know how to heal spiritually.”
“I want therapy that understands prayer, scripture, and the Holy Spirit.”
If any of this resonates, you are not alone. Christian counseling in San Diego might be exactly the kind of holistic support you’ve been looking for.
Therapy That Honors Your Faith and Your Humanity
You don’t have to be a “perfect Christian” to come to therapy. In fact, many of my clients come to counseling feeling disconnected from God, spiritually confused, or unsure how their faith fits into their mental health journey.
That’s okay. My role as a therapist isn’t to preach or teach—it’s to walk with you, ask thoughtful questions, and help you find healing in body, mind, and spirit.
What to Expect in Christian Counseling
Whether you’re seeking therapy for anxiety, trauma, grief, or relationship concerns, Christian counseling offers a warm and open space to:
Integrate scripture and prayer (if desired)
Explore how your faith impacts your thoughts, emotions, and decisions
Address spiritual questions or doubts
Heal from religious trauma or church-related wounds
Grow in emotional regulation, communication, and self-compassion
Reconnect with your identity and purpose through a Christ-centered lens
Every session is tailored to you. You decide how much spiritual content you want to integrate—we’ll go at your pace.

You’re Not Meant to Carry This Alone
It’s easy to believe we should “just pray harder” or “have more faith” when life feels overwhelming. But even in Scripture, we see people cry out, grieve deeply, and seek wise counsel. Therapy can be a modern-day expression of that support.
If you’ve been searching for Christian counseling in San Diego that honors your story, your values, and your healing, I would be honored to walk with you.
