I help priests process stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, ministry pressure, and personal struggles—while honoring your vocation and your faith.
Helping Priests Thrive: A Place to Process, Heal, and Rebuild Strength
You spend your life carrying others—listening, consoling, guiding, praying, and absorbing suffering most people never see. Over time, that weight adds up.
If you feel emotionally depleted, burdened, isolated, or simply “not yourself,” you’re not weak—you’re human. And you don’t have to carry it alone.
You may be experiencing:
- Burnout and constant fatigue, even after rest
- Compassion fatigue from years of listening to pain
- Emotional isolation (few safe places to be fully honest)
- Anxiety, sadness, or numbness you can’t explain
- Boundary strain (feeling “on call” 24/7)
- Conflicts with parishioners, staff, or leadership
- Grief and secondary trauma from funerals, crises, and confessions
- Temptation, discouragement, or shame that you keep hidden
- Feeling stuck spiritually or detached in prayer
- The pressure to perform—while privately struggling
If any of this hits home, therapy can help—not by changing who you are, but by helping you regain clarity, strength, and interior freedom.
What You Can Expect
This is not therapy that treats your vocation like a clinical problem.
My work is grounded in a Catholic view of the human person—mind and soul, virtue and struggle, wounds and meaning. In sessions, you’ll have a space to speak openly without being analyzed, minimized, or spiritually misunderstood.
We can work on:
- Emotional regulation and recovery from overload
- Stress physiology and nervous system resilience
- Healthy boundaries without guilt
- Processing grief, anger, discouragement, or shame
- Navigating ministry conflicts and relational strain
- Building sustainable rhythms of life and prayer
- Healing old wounds that ministry pressure can intensify
Why Priests Work With Me
I understand the unique emotional pressure that comes from being the one people turn to when everything falls apart.
As a psychotherapist, I bring clinical skill.
As a Catholic, I bring reverence for your vocation.
And as someone who has worked with suffering individuals for years, I bring a steady, grounded presence.
This is a place where you can:
- Exhale
- Regroup
- Regain Strength
- and return to ministry more whole
Confidentiality Matters
Priests often avoid help because they worry therapy won’t stay private.
Your sessions with me are strictly confidential, and I take privacy seriously. This is a professional therapeutic space—safe, discreet, and respectful.
- Telehealth available
- Flexible scheduling
- Goal-focused work without dragging it out forever
- A steady, non-judgmental environment
If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or emotionally carrying more than you should, you’re not failing.
It may simply be time to have a place where you can be supported.
