I use a trauma-informed approach to address areas such as: Addictions (Behavioral and Substance), Anxiety, Depression, Health/Wellness, Spirituality (all practices and backgrounds), and PTSD.
When we feel stuck, trapped or insecure about our life, it can be hard to be motivated for change. Whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply just not knowing what to do with the thoughts that come into your head, there is empowerment within yourself for change. You may have recognized that your coping strategies have led to destructive patterns in your life. However, this is not the end for you, but a beginning to rewriting your story and your pathway to your best life. Let’s work together toward a plan with action steps that will empower you to create productive coping strategies that will accomplish your life's goals.

Hello, my name is Amanda and I believe this career found me. Ever since I was a child all I wanted was to help people, be outside and create art. I know the power of art because it has helped me through many tough times. Art is how I communicate when I don't have the words to share my inner world with others. I know the power of being heard without judgment or unwelcome advice, because I too have experienced the feeling of isolation and frustration from receiving the opposite. I know the power of having a relationship with the natural world, because it has fostered a sense of belonging and spirituality for me.

Hello, I'm Jamie. My approach to counseling is that every person has the "power" to redirect their lives that will lead to living a fulfilled happy life. I am completely committed and driven to help you discover inspiration, empowerment and clarity to start working towards eliminating symptoms.

I believe if we work together, you will discover again that you are courageous, capable, and amazing. It's time to take that step towards a "new you".

It started with small things. You were anxious about a work meeting, so you made up an excuse to get out of it. Then you canceled a dinner date – you’d been looking forward to it, but the anxiety became too severe as it neared. Over and over, you let worry dictate your choices until it’s gotten to the point where you don’t even feel in control anymore. Your anxiety makes the decisions, and you’re just along for the ride. You’ve tried making changes and developing healthier habits. Constantly blaming yourself for your shortcomings, trying to criticize your anxiety into submission. But, it’s no use. This is not the life you imagined.

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.
