People who seek therapy are the sanest of us all. They look around at their lives and they realize that they want something better and they have the courage to go out and get it.

My passion is to Empower Women to find their purpose in life and live it wholeheartedly. Sometimes in life it can feel as though there is no end to our problems, and we have reached a dead end. As a Christian counselor, I commit myself to working with those who truly desire a change in their life so that together, we can find the answer they seek. My main focus is YOU and making sure we utilize the correct skills to overcome the life's struggles you may be facing. If you allow me, I would be honored to be on this journey with you.

Like a deflating balloon, there are times when we all feel as if the zest for life is slowly drifting away from us. Broken relationships, loneliness, work-related stress, financial issues, physical illness, and traumatic events are but a few of the stressors that can leave us feeling depleted and without the resiliency to bounce back. When these stressors surface, we tend to get stuck in our same old patterns of thinking and behaving. While these patterns are safe and familiar, they do little to facilitate the change that is needed. By utilizing your inner strengths and developing effective coping skills, you can overcome obstacles.

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.
