I find that I tend to be helpful to clients who want to integrate spiritual growth as they journey to healing emotional pain and conflict. The counseling relationship serves as a therapeutic crucible, providing a safe and appropriately challenging space to explore ways to draw out and empower the self to experience abundant life.

It takes courage to reach out for help. I am passionate about partnering and walking alongside others in some of their most difficult moments to help them reach a sense of hope and healing. I believe we are designed to heal. My greatest priority is creating an atmosphere of safety where my clients can feel seen, heard, and understood. There may have been places in your story where you learned tools to help you survive and those tools are no longer helpful but actually keeping you from living from a place of wholeness.

Changes in life are often expected, but sometimes it hits you unexpectedly and it hits hard. Since change is a normal part of life, that can make it hard to seek help when we're having difficulty in this area. We assume that everybody else is having an easier time adjusting than we are, or feel we just need to power through on our own without support but I don't think that could be further from the truth. All of us are only human & need the invaluable resource of help, support, & encouragement. Anxiety, depression, stress, racing thoughts, fear, poor self-esteem, and other issues often get in our way of living a meaningful life.

What does it mean to be mentally and emotionally well? You likely know what being "unwell" in these areas looks like, but have you ever stopped to consider what "healthy" is; after all, that is the goal is it not? I would contend that Mental and Emotional Wellness can be summed up by two areas: 1. Gratitude and 2. A sense of personal Agency (meaning your have the ability to affect change in yourself and have control over the immediate future.) I absolutely love exploring these areas with my clients and helping them attain true Wellness in their Mental and Emotional Health.

The ideal client is one ready to take responsibility for their health. They are open to looking at their issues, to reach into their pocket of resilience and to assist in developing more positive ways of coping with distress--whether that distress is related to interpersonal conflict, mood disorder, physical illness, significant loss or trauma. I believe that there is a significant relationship between a person's spiritual life and mental health. I consider myself to be a Christian therapist without citing chapter and verse. Although my office is small, my goal is to create an environment that conveys comfort and care.

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.
