In terms of faith-integration, I view spirituality as a significant personal strength.
Two things you can count on from me: Honesty & Authenticity. So I'll tell you the truth, I'm really good at two things: Trauma treatment and psychological testing/diagnosis. Everything else? Honestly? I'm just okay. As your psychologist, I will be a calm and supportive figure that you can count on to offer practical help on your journey. Most people would describe my style of therapy as unbiased, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I have over 10 years of experience treating PTSD and I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I will offer you the opportunity to do the hard things that will truly get results.

Many of us have experienced hardships and suffering in our lives, and sometimes we need help. I believe psychotherapy is a space that can help by providing healing and comfort to those who need it. Many things can contribute to life’s difficulties including historical, systemic, emotional, relational, and interpersonal factors. In therapy, I am interested in how these complexities impact you.

Top Ten Reasons For Therapy: 10) It's good to talk to someone who accepts you unconditionally. 9) It's cheaper than hitting bottom. 8) It can prevent bad situations from getting worse. 7) It helps correct self-defeating behaviors. 6) It teaches assertiveness, which raises self-esteem. 5)It teaches new ways of thinking. 4) It provides relief. 3)It's not as sappy as it looks on TV. 2) Knowledge is power; knowing the reasons for what bothers you gives you power to change. AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO GO TO THERAPY: You deserve to like yourself and your life!

A lot of the people I work with feel exhausted from carrying inner tension that never seems to fully quiet down. Maybe your mind never stops moving. Maybe you’ve spent years feeling misunderstood because of ADHD, anxiety, depression, or trauma that others couldn’t see. Or maybe your relationship with faith became tangled with fear, shame, perfectionism, or control, and now you’re trying to figure out what to hold onto, what to let go of, and how to trust yourself again.

The foundation of my practice is based on the 4 principles of Empathy, Encouragement, Awareness, and Empowerment. I believe the objective of counseling is to help individuals make sense out of emotional chaos. This comes through primarily understanding two things, 1. We are products of our environment, we do what we know. 2. We all have the power to change unhealthy or unwanted behavior. My experience as a Crisis Counselor as well as an individual counselor has given me experience with just about any issue. Please let me know what you're struggling with and we can determine together if I can be supportive.

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.
