Grief, loss, disappointment, uncertainty. I have experienced each of these in my own life, and the complexity of navigating them is what led me to become a therapist. I know what it’s like to be left reeling from unexpected loss, and to feel frozen in grief. I’ve been disappointed by unmet expectations, and I have felt uncertain about the path forward.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to admit that life isn't working out the way you hoped and that you need help from a stranger. And there are a lot of misrepresentations of what therapy actually is out there (I'm looking at you AppleTV...) Instead of writing confusing language I'd like to do something different. Things you can expect in therapy with me include 1. direct feedback 2. consistency 3. playfulness 4. increased comfort with yours and others' big feelings 5. attunement. Things I don't provide include 1. snacks 2. a room in my pool house (I don't even have a pool house) 3. advice 4. false hope 5. worksheets.

My clients are interested in true change, even if that means having their assumptions challenged. They want to grow emotionally, build resilience, and increase self-awareness. While managing symptoms can be important, my clients have a desire to get to the root of their issues. They want to feel as if they are the driver of their life. I attract clients who are curious and passionate; have a history of childhood or attachment trauma; struggle with identity, self worth, and disconnection; feel their past traumas significantly impact their present; and/or despite consciously wanting to change, they have been unable to do so.

NOW accepting new clients! You ask yourself, "will it ever stop?" The racing thoughts, the paralyzing self-doubt and the overwhelm. You’re easily triggered. It feels like you're on an emotional roller coaster. That intrusive voice is telling you that you’re not enough—you’ll never measure up. Perfectionism and procrastination keep you stuck. You find yourself in an unfulfilling job or relationship yet again. You long for connection, but are afraid of rejection. You seek comfort with alcohol, food, social media, work or shopping, but the feelings keep coming back.

I also work with religion, spirituality and faith issues and how they intersect with mental health and relational issues.
Taking care of yourself, your relationships, and your soul are some the most important things you can do. However, sometimes stress can pile up, relationships get strained, or unexpected losses leave an empty place in life. Sometimes even church can hurt. When these things happen it can get overwhelming resulting in many more questions than answers. It is a privilege for me to walk with people who are experiencing challenges and help them heal from wounds, solve problems and glean some redemptive meaning from the challenges they face.

You can disentangle your unique spirituality from high-control religion.
You've left or stepped back from the spiritual community that was once a massive part of your life. Now what? You may be stretching yourself as tall as you can, trying to get a birds-eye view of what you experienced and where to go from here. Maybe you can confidently use words like trauma and abuse. Maybe you know you're feeling hurt but don't necessarily believe anyone harmed you. Maybe your view of what happened changes day to day. If you find yourself struggling with, "I don't even know who I am anymore," or, "I missed out on so much," or, "Why do I keep going back to old ways of thinking," you aren't alone.

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.
