For the past 26 years (since 1996) I have been in private practice. Through the years, the focus has been forensics and traumas from early childhood to veterans' issues. The therapeutic approach I've maintained is a blend of psychology, creative arts and spirituality. All our creativity is merely an apprenticeship for the larger art: our lives. When given the opportunity to experience the visions, dreams and pain we enter the sacred. We are involved with forces whose energies are greater than our own.

Life can be hard and just "raggedy" at times. I know and I get it. For some, reaching out for help is the last thing you may want to do but I would love to walk with you on your journey to healing. Would you believe me if I told you that the answers you are seeking are already within you? I will merely be your guide and safe place to allow you to discover these answers. There is so much more in store for you versus the current narrative you have been rehearsing to yourself. I have a passion for “meeting people where they are” by providing crisis management, solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.

The ideal client can be any human being without placing discrimination on that person. The client possibly may need help with emotional regulation, anxiety, self-image issues, ADHD, domestic violence, etc. Their goals pertain to specific objectives and interventions, which would determine their willingness to work successfully on their own. A client would not want judgment and drama; however, a more caring, empathic, and nonjudgmental environment. Also, the client would express their thoughts, feelings, and actions in a confidential manner that he or she feels secure and safe with me.

We all get stuck at one time or another in our ways of relating to others, reacting to loved ones, or resisting personal change. We can feel overwhelmed by loneliness, isolation, or life circumstances and our ability to cope with them. We find that we are not living authentic lives we can be at peace with due to anxiety, depression or even our past. I understand it can be hard to reach out for help when others depend upon you or expect you to have it all together. Have you tried everything else, and now you find yourself here? Know that you are not alone. Your concerns are valid and worthy of attention. Let's explore them together.

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.
