My areas of clinical focus are veterans, first responders, trauma, substance use, grief/loss, Christian spirituality, and existential issues.
I entered the counseling profession to support individuals who are having difficulties facing life’s challenges. I have found that many people struggle because they have created unrealistic expectations about the support, relationships, and encouragement they need. I believe that as humanity becomes “busier,” life becomes more complicated, affecting relationships and how we see ourselves fitting in the world. Life is often full of difficult and complicated experiences that are difficult to overcome, especially without support. Ultimately, these difficulties distract us from pursuing what enriches our lives.

I am open to working with all spiritual orientations or keeping spirituality out of the therapeutic experience if this is what is desired.
I believe that one of the most successful outcomes to treatment depends on the therapeutic relationship. This involves the client feeling safe and trusting of the therapist while he/she explores emotional vulnerabilities and painful thought processes. My hope is that you will experience me as someone who actively listens to you and works with you to develop effective problem-solving strategies.

You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time-from nutrition and exercise to parenting and your home. You can’t get your brain to shut off. Lying in bed, driving, sitting at your desk…the worry is overwhelming. Maybe it’s about your kids, your job, your marriage, or your health. On and on it goes and you can’t control it. Decision making can be paralyzing and you’re constantly doubting yourself. The restlessness makes you constantly on edge.You’re told you’re “not supposed to worry” and then feel guilty and out of control because you can’t cope with it. “Something must be wrong with me,” you tell yourself. It’s exhausting.

Navigating life can be challenging. Life did not come with a manual. Along the way, we all get emotional bumps and bruises. Often the advice received from family, friends, social media, etc. comes with the best of intentions but may not be what is needed. Other times, we are uncertain how to change. If you are seeking to work through life changes, relationships, traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, otherwise improve coping with life challenges, gain greater understanding of yourself and better communicate your needs to others, I would love the opportunity to assist.

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.
