Churches and Other Faith Organizations

Having been born and raised in the church and with an ongoing commitment to the church
community, I know firsthand that churches and faith organizations are filled with people who
love God deeply – and still struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and emotional
exhaustion. Many suffer quietly, unsure whether their experience is spiritual, emotional, physical
– or all of the above.

Still Becoming:

A Therapist’s Sacred Journey through Depression is a hope-centered, faith-integrated resource written to help the faith community to speak about depression with compassion, honesty, and spiritual depth – while also honoring sound clinical wisdom.

​

I wrote this book as both a former pastor and Biblical teacher, and as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in private practice in California, drawing from my own journey and years of walking alongside others in their healing. This book is a pastoral care resource and a compassionate support for those who may wonder, “Where is God in this?”

​

If your church or organization is ready to explore where clinical insight meets faith, I would be honored to serve and support you through speaking, teaching, workshops, or guided discussions that meet people where they are and point them toward healing and wholeness.

​

Specific topics can be tailored to your congregation’s needs and theological culture. 

​

Invite me to speak, host a book study, or explore how Still Becoming can serve your needs. I would love to connect. My availability includes both travel and virtual events.
