Sudden and dramatic life transitions can rock our world, causing us to frequently feel disoriented and unsettled. Whether such moments are encountered through loss of a loved one, divorce, trauma, substance recovery or something equally profound, ones faith, meaning, purpose, and direction is often called on as a means to sustain us. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to heuristically discover and strengthen your inner-self and potentiality.
Some people turn to therapists for help coping with these crises and transitions. Others look for support through a spiritual context. But can one find spiritual help and psychotherapy at the same time? Religious leaders have little training to provide in-depth therapy. And most psychotherapists have little training to discuss in-depth spiritual matters.
As a pastoral psychotherapist and theologian--who also happens to be queer and transgender--I am deeply connected to my faith that leans towards thoughts in Christian mysticism. That said, I am happy to join with others of any faith tradition as they seek to find a richer connection with their spiritual and inner selves.
