Welcome
Author, Speaker & Board-Certified Mental Health Coach
Creating space where faith and mental health meet, pain is honored, and healing can begin.
Have you been told to just pray harder?
Have you felt ashamed of your anxiety or depression?
Have you wondered whether going to therapy means your faith is weak?
You're not alone. Growing up in church, my trauma was misunderstood and my depression led fellow believers to label me a second-class Christian.
Many believers have been shaped by teaching that confuses mental illness with spiritual failure. The result is silence, shame, and unnecessary suffering.
It does not have to stay this way.
My mission is to correct harmful theology about mental health and equip the church to support anxiety, depression, trauma, and therapy with both theological clarity and clinical wisdom.

Hi, I’m Tabitha.
I’m a speaker and the author of Jesus and Therapy: Bridging the Gap Between Faith and Mental Health. I am also a suicide attempt survivor, which leads me to be passionate in my mental health advocacy.
My work sits at the intersection of theology and mental health — helping Christians untangle harmful beliefs and pursue faithful, informed healing.
For too long, mental health struggles in the church have been misunderstood, oversimplified, or spiritualized away.
I believe we can do better.
Mental health is not a distraction from faith. It is part of the human experience Scripture has always acknowledged.
In my writing and speaking, I address six core areas that shape how the church responds:
Theological Clarity About Mental Health
Untangling harmful interpretations of Scripture that equate anxiety, depression, or trauma with sin or weak faith.
Integration of Faith and Clinical Wisdom
Embracing therapy, medication, and professional care as tools God can use in healing.
Trauma Awareness in Christian Communities
Understanding how trauma shapes the brain, behavior, and spiritual experience.
Shame-Free Conversations for Affected Believers
Replacing silence and clichés with honest dialogue about depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Redefining Spiritual Maturity and Growth
Challenging the belief that strong Christians are always emotionally stable.
Creating a Church Culture Safe for Struggle
Building communities where people can say “I am not okay” without fear.
Proverbs 31 Ministries Devotional
"There was a time when someone spoke Psalm 27:13 over me, praying “that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.” Not just someday in heaven. Not just once I was free from the pain of this world. Here. In the middle of the brokenness I was drowning in."
