The heart of my approach to counseling centers on relationship.In my opinion, the counseling relationship becomes the foundation for meaningful change; a conduit of hope and healing for those who have been wounded. As I welcome a new client, I am primarily interested in creating a safe base and secure haven of trust from which to work. Facing our struggles and confronting our issues can be painful at times. My commitment to my clients is to walk alongside them through the struggles they are currently facing and teach them more adaptive ways to manage their lives.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. People often come to me because, despite their efforts to change, they end up in the same cycles...cycles of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship struggles, isolation, procrastination, workaholism...the list goes on and on. People often wonder "why can't I just change?" These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and sense of ourself and others. Together, we will explore these ideas so that you can begin to create newer positive cycles of peace, calm, joy, contentment, intimacy, health, and fulfillment.

The time that I have been supporting individuals through psychotherapy has helped me understand that individuals can cope, change behaviors and manage their emotions and thoughts effectively. Life can be a challenge to navigate and realizing that change is possible and that recovery is a process is of great value to the individuals that are in need. I can help guide the individual through the recovery process with empathy and compassion, understanding that the power to changes belongs solely to the individual.

Life and relationships sometimes offer inaccurate messages about who we are, what we deserve, and what is available to us. Where you have felt invalidated, shamed, limited, or unsafe, I want to help you rewrite your story. I am passionate about connection, communication, mind-body-soul healing, and guiding others into their light. I support individuals and couples in identifying patterns such as over-functioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shutting down, withdrawing, or focusing on tasks. As we explore the roots of these strategies, we can find new ways to relate, meet needs, build self-worth, and heal old hurts.

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.

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.
