As both a social worker and theologian, I am aware that spirituality can serve as a protective factor.
While it takes courage to seek out therapy, it takes unimaginable strength to embark upon counseling when one has experienced trauma from intimate partner/domestic violence. Honoring the client's intrinsic strengths, I aim to provide each person with a felt sense of safety, acceptance, and compassion as they enter into the therapeutic process. My Doctor of Ministry with a concentration in spirituality uniquely qualifies me to engage in an authentic holistic therapeutic approach.

The thought of therapy can be new, scary, exciting, intimidating, relieving - whatever you might be feeling I'm so glad you're here! My hope is that when you step into my office you feel safe, valued, and heard. If you’re in a season of life you’re unsure how to navigate through, find yourself exhausted from trying to keep everything together, or have a child who needs a place to process and heal, I’d love the opportunity to come alongside and support you through it!

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.
