I hold a certification in Motivational Interviewing to help clients discover their goals and motivations, and have been training in holding space for spirituality in clinical practice.
You may feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain about your next steps. Perhaps you're navigating life transitions, struggling with self-doubt, or carrying the weight of grief. Maybe substance use has become a concern, or you're feeling disconnected from yourself. You want clarity, confidence, and a space where you can be truly seen and understood. My clients are ready to explore what’s beneath their struggles, even if they feel vulnerable in the process. Whether you're seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, or a path forward, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space to help you align with who you truly are.

Do you wonder, sometimes lying on the bed at the mid hour of night, that life could be different: maybe lighter, with a little bit more hope; and your pounding heart can slow down and feel some peace; when you look out, you can smile and sense trust? Is there part of you that want to embark on a journey of healing and growth, to build nourishing relationships with your own self, with others, and with the life at large, to lay the foundation for a life of meaning and joy?

After a career of more than thirty years I believe therapy can be an adventure enhancing physical, emotional and spiritual well being. In addition to teaching clients how to determine life goals, and take small steps to reach them, I encourage creative expression through journaling, dream interpretation, the study of Myers-Briggs personality types and the Enneagram. A favorite book of mine is, "Women Who Run With the Wolves," by Clarissa Estes'.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a different and fun way to reach children, adolescents, and young adults without the stigma of talk therapy. EAP is an alternative therapeutic approach that addresses mental health concerns and everyday life challenges by teaming up with caring therapists and horses. This type of therapy often reflects clients' verbal and nonverbal strengths and incongruencies while enhancing personal growth and development. This experiential, holistic approach works well with solution-focused therapy (SFT) and other evidence-based treatment modalities, e.g., ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR.

I am passionate about helping people get "unstuck" and "out of their own way." Sometimes, that means unpacking past trauma, learning to identify and express emotions, or simply giving ourselves permission to do something different than we've always done. Let me help you learn new strategies and a more effective way to resolve conflict.

It can be exquisitely painful to parent when the hurts from your own childhood still feel so large. Bad things happened to you growing up, and that's not your fault.

At all stages of life, a little work on the heart can become necessary. I see children in the context of play where they are free to express themselves most fully. They work out their problems by gaining independence and strengthening their self-esteem in a play room setting. I provide tools for teens to strengthen their identity and foster healthy relationships. I offer understanding and hope to women who have been betrayed by a spouse and/or have suffered from the painful effects of pornography and sexual addiction. The addiction/co-addition cycle can be overcome.

I invite you to answer the following questions. Do you feel sometimes alone and disconnected from others? Do you avoid sharing your needs and feelings to your partner? Do you fear that you may be abandoned? IF If you said yes to any of these questions, you may be experiencing an insecure attachment. When a parent is not consistently emotionally available to his/her child, as an adult, he/she may feel very anxious or even avoidant in relationships. The challenge for them is to balance closeness and healthy distance with their significant others.

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.
