My doctoral research was on the role of
spirituality
in the treatment of trauma.
As a PhD clinical depth psychologist and pastoral counselor, I am skilled at identifying underlying patterns of behavior that contribute to self-defeating ways of living. If you are tired of repeating patterns of behavior and disturbed by chronic symptoms that interfere with work, love relationships, intimacy, physical health, and spiritual wellness than you are ready to begin a journey of healing and recovery. Depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, re-occuring dreams, traumatic memories, and difficulty with intimacy are symptoms I am best suited to treat.

I know that a lot of these profiles look the same, so I’ll skip the things that everyone says. Here’s the truth: I can’t help you on my own. Therapy takes teamwork. I will listen to you, I will validate you, and I will give you tools. The choice is yours of whether you pick them up and use them. I have been providing therapy in a variety of settings for over the past 15 years- community mental health, residential facilities, military clinics, and via telehealth. I have seen a broad range of issues- anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, life changes, postpartum struggles, family violence, struggles with identity, and many more.

My goal at New Directions, a Clinical Psychology practice, is to assist individuals, couples, families and other groups. Issues may result from many situations, including the challenges of marriage, parenting, friendships, the workplace and others. Or, the challenge may be from being alone. The common thread for many individuals is a wish for "new directions" in life. I make every effort to work towards finding solutions. As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for over 40 years, my belief is that the decision made by individuals to seek psychological treatment is an important step in moving forward towards new directions in life.

Your life is spinning out of control and you’re about to crash. You’ve tried everything, but you’re overwhelmed and struggling to find balance. You’re confused, anxious, numb, and emotional and don’t even know why. You probably feel ashamed that you feel this way, but no one knows that. You’re a Christian and you know we’re supposed to have it together, but for you it’s different. Life has left you heartbroken, your spirit shattered, and you feel like God has forgotten you.

Hindsight is 20/20! Although life can seem downright chaotic at times, we have all had the experience of looking back, seeing beyond our blind spots, and recognizing important life moments as part of a larger order. Seen in this light, problems are not so different from opportunities. Given enough space, life's patterns emerge in ways was cannot see when we are too close. My job as a therapist is to hold the space necessary to see these patterns within a compassionate therapeutic alliance.

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.
