I can rattle on about my 30 years of experience and training and all of that but it’s not what drives my passion and love for this work. I believe in the healing power of relationship itself. Building trust and sharing human connection is what creates the safe bond that is necessary for processing pain, trauma, and all of the other stuff of life! How’s that for clinical jargon?! What I want to convey is love above all else, which you will find here in our work together. And not to worry, loving and receiving love can be hard especially if you've struggled in your life. Learning how to love will become your greatest superpower.

I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, relationships, spirituality, body image, and life transitions.
We all have the potential to feel better than we do, even when life seems alright on the surface. But if you're here, chances are something hasn’t felt quite right for a while. The good news is, that can change, and often more easily than you expect. Our bodies have an incredible, natural ability to heal, and by tapping into that innate wisdom, we can navigate challenges, process difficult experiences, and move towards a deeper sense of well-being.

Trained as a trauma therapist, I specialize in women’s health and spiritual well-being—traumatic stress and grief, health and hormonal concerns, or navigating career and unexpected life changes—and am committed to providing high-quality care for women throughout their lives. My expertise also draws on my training in spiritually integrated psychotherapy, an evidence-based approach for drawing on and working with an individual’s spirituality in therapy.

I enjoy diving into spirituality, mindfulness, existentialism, and mind-body connection.
Hello and welcome! Worry, sadness, stress, or a life transition may be nudging you to consider therapy. Perhaps "start therapy" has been on the do list and you're finally taking the (brave!) step. I empathize with the fact that the search can feel overwhelming, vulnerable, and even confusing. We can have the greatest support networks, loving and trusting relationships, and yet we are still lacking a space to be totally honest with ourselves. Therapy is unique in that it allows us to tap into a voice that is not always accessible. It is my hope that by tapping into this voice, you are able to find wisdom, clarity, and peace.

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.
