Whether you’re dealing with relationship challenges with your spouse or child, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or other concerns, Christian counseling can help. As an individual made in the image of God, you have a significant purpose and calling – yet it’s so easy for the troubles and cares of this world to blur our vision.

(949) 386-7181 connect@cachristiancounseling.com

I’ve been in your shoes in the past, seeking to find help from a Christian counselor – yet all I found were people who relied on their label as a Christian and their knowledge of science to counsel. This led me to strive to be more, with God’s help. Through my professional training, I sought to find out how the Bible informs our mental health and psychological well-being so I could give my clients a solid foundation of truth to use against any of their mental health and relational challenges. I bring this knowledge into each session, allowing His truths to provide real, lasting healing.
