My areas of clinical focus are veterans, first responders, trauma, substance use, grief/loss, Christian spirituality, and existential issues.
I entered the counseling profession to support individuals who are having difficulties facing life’s challenges. I have found that many people struggle because they have created unrealistic expectations about the support, relationships, and encouragement they need. I believe that as humanity becomes “busier,” life becomes more complicated, affecting relationships and how we see ourselves fitting in the world. Life is often full of difficult and complicated experiences that are difficult to overcome, especially without support. Ultimately, these difficulties distract us from pursuing what enriches our lives.

I believe we are capable of growth, healing, and change; but we do not have to seek this alone. Throughout our work together, I will walk alongside you as you uncover, discover, and explore areas in need of your attention. I will utilize your own personal strengths to help you set, pursue, and accomplish goals. You and I will, collaboratively, come up with strategies that best suit your life and situations and I will be there to support and encourage you as you navigate through what life brings.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

It’s a fact…life and the relationships we forge in it can be challenging, difficult, and just downright hard. At times, the struggle of trying to cope with intense emotions such as anger or sadness, or life stressors, can make it feel like there are more bad days than good. Still, even on the good days, you somehow feel undeserving of the joy you so desperately long for because you are overwhelmed by the internal struggle of negative thoughts of fear, doubt, and/or shame. You feel stuck, and you just want to get to the root of things to experience the genuine peace, joy, and contentment you desire. Rest assured…you are not alone.

The phrase, "and they lived happily ever after", is one that many associate with ideal romance. At times, on the way to "ever after", partners encounter difficulties that reduce the degree of positive regard that they feel toward one another. Sometimes these difficulties may be connected to parenting, stress, self-esteem, family life cycle transitions, etc. My mission is to assist partners in their journey to rediscover the poetry in their relationship, as well as to support family systems and individuals as they work towards their relational goals and best hopes.

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.
