My approach combines an understanding of human development, spirituality, and behavior change.
As an experienced psychologist and Buddhist practitioner, I offer a grounded perspective on cultivating contentment. Living comes with inevitable challenges, pleasant and unpleasant. While difficulties occur, misery is optional. Cultivating compassion, gratitude, friendliness, & equanimity builds resilience and frees you from suffering. We'll use these principles and psychological tools to help you navigate whatever shows up in your life, foster compassion, and live more peacefully. You can learn to get out of your own way to develop a sense of groundedness and safety.

Now accepting new clients for both individual sessions and the Monday 6:30 PM Trauma Recovery Group. I work with clients who are ready to begin healing—even if they’re unsure what that looks like, or whether it’s truly possible. Many of the people I support have already figured out how to get through the day, but know they’re not really living. They’re tired of being told to wait, to stabilize more, or to put their trauma work on hold. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, dissociative disorders, and the intersection of trauma and addiction.

Life doesn't always fit neatly into a box, and neither do the people I work with. I welcome adults from all walks of life who may be navigating major life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, complex mental health concerns, or challenges involving the legal system or family services. I also enjoy working with individuals exploring non-traditional relationships, alternative spiritual paths, and identities that may not always feel understood or accepted by those around them.

When intimacy feels confusing, pressured, or no longer works the way it used to, it can quietly affect your confidence, your relationship, and how you feel about yourself. Erectile dysfunction, low desire, desire discrepancies, infertility-related stress, painful sex, or ongoing sexual concerns can create distance, frustration, and uncertainty. Therapy offers a space to understand what’s happening and begin rebuilding connection in a way that feels natural, grounded, and meaningful.

I have been a therapist in various capacities for over 30 years. I have expertise in helping clients with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem and identity concerns. Presently, my focus is on incorporating a lifestory model to help my clients develop a holistic perspective on their past and present experiences and to view themselves as the main character in their story. Particularly important is learning to recognize one's role as not only the protagonist, but also as the author of one's story. When this occurs, clients take a more proactive role in their lives.

I am a partner at Leek Therapy. A mentor of mine once described therapy as "two people getting to know one person." I think this in many ways encapsulates my understanding of how I hope to work with people. By helping people "meet themselves" with compassion and understanding, people can then make informed decisions about how they want to move forward. I strive to support clients in identifying their desires and values and to move towards living a life aligned with those values. I utilize Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as well as Psychodynamic techniques to work alongside clients.

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.
