Kids and teens have difficult and confusing things happen and need a space to process so they can move forward with freedom, confidence, and hope.

Difficulty is a part of life. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma... These are just some of the common experiences that bring people to counseling. I think growth and healing are most likely to occur when we feel safe, understood, connected, and believe that we matter. My primary focus is to offer a space and develop a therapeutic relationship where these needs can be met. You may bring specific goals in mind to counseling, or we can work together to create them. I offer spiritual integration, if you so desire. I currently work with adults and older teens (age 16+).

Oregon City, OR 97045 (Online Only)
My specialties are: spirituality, chronic pain, suffering, cancer treatment, death and dying.
Most of my clients come to me in the midst of some sort of transition--a difficult relationship, a new job, divorce, retirement, a move, etc.--that they are unable to navigate alone. I also see many persons confronting cancer, chronic pain or a crisis of faith. When we first meet, we will explore what brings you into therapy at this time. We will create a plan together to achieve the outcome you would like best. Many times, I find that transitions involve a certain amount of loss and grief that has not yet been acknowledged. Our goal would be to fit this transition, or life condition, large or small, into your overall life journey.

Imagine taking a moment to connect your feelings and thoughts. You sit down and take a moment to feel sensations in your body, your mood, and then work through the story you connect to it all. Often when seeking therapy we start by wanting to find solutions to get rid of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and this is good! Taking time to have caring and attentive guidance through this process is the role I take. As you share what you are going through either as an individual, partners, or family, I see that it is my job to come alongside to first listen and then guide the path to a different and preferred life.

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.
