I use a blend of psychology, theology, and spirituality in helping people.
I believe that everyone may experience unfortunate circumstances during their lifetime. When this happens, we may need a helping hand in managing our difficulties.

I offer Tele-Counseling at various times in order to meet the busy schedules that many people have in their lives. Please feel free to email me and request an appointment.

In my practice, I utilize trauma informed care, body positivity, elements of spirituality, and other various types of therapy, tailored to your unique needs.
In today's society, there's a lot of conflicting information out there, which might leave you feeling confused or even frustrated. Do I have trauma? Am I doomed to diet forever? Why am I so anxious? Is healing even possible? Does anyone even care about me? What the hell does it all mean?! Well, that's where therapy comes in. As your therapist, I provide space to sort through all of your questions and concerns, beyond just a diagnosis. We might look at your past and the present, in order to provide clarity for the future.

Life is filled with ups and downs. Depression, anxiety, and grief are among the most common reasons people seek a counselor. There is good reason for optimism- for many, these challenges are temporary. Any significant life event can cause upsets and create hardships adjusting. You are certainly not alone. Small steps and changes can lead to big differences in lives. Goals need to be reasonable and not overwhelming, accomplished at the client's pace. I often ask clients if we are moving too fast..or too slow? Spirituality is important, and I recognize the impact that a person's culture, values, and faith can have in the process.

I conduct individual, marriage, family, group, adolescent, and substance abuse counseling. Because counseling is an interactive process, your commitment, cooperation and open communications will greatly enhance our counseling relationship. This will be extremely beneficial in helping to address/change your thoughts, feeling, and actions or behaviors. Since there are no instant or immediate permanent resolutions to life's challenges, I am asking that you be patient as we work towards an acceptable solution. To facilitate this process, you will be given homework assignments and encouraged to participate in various exercises and projects, as required.

Spirituality Therapists

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
