I have been in the mental health field for the last 9 years in mostly secular roles where I have to tone down my spiritual beliefs. I have since stepped out in faith to start my own Christian Counseling Ministry because I believe that there are many Christians that struggle with their own mental health but don't seek help out of fear of what the church may think. I believe there is some disconnect with how the church conveys mental health and I hope to be that bridge. I started this ministry two years ago as an effort to utilize my own faith in what I love to do which is help individuals find peace in their mental health.

You were raised in an unpredictable family often filled with dysfunction. You were handed responsibility at an early age due to familial circumstances, and you have built your identity on being the "strong one" in your relationships. You struggle with expressing your needs, emotions, and boundaries with others. You worry that, if left unchecked, one day you will continue to repeat the patterns of generational trauma expressed by others in your family. If you resonate with the above statements, I think it is incredibly brave of you to consider seeking help. It is never too late to rewrite the story you wish to tell with your life.

Life is full of what ifs … what if I wasn’t abused in childhood, what if my relationship was healthier, what if my family dynamics were better. What if it didn’t feel like peace was just out of reach or like things will never be better than they are right now.

Dealing with trauma has been an ongoing struggle, with painful memories resurfacing unexpectedly. It’s caused anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. The anxiety keeps you on edge, making it hard to relax or focus, with fear swirling around in your mind. Depression seems to pull you into a deep sadness, draining your energy and casting a shadow over things you once enjoyed. When panic attacks strike, they are overwhelming, as if fear takes over your body and mind, leaving you breathless and shaken. All of these things have made it hard to trust or feel secure. It’s become so overwhelming that you feel like drowning in an ocean.

My focus includes women in unhealthy relationship patterns, nontraditional relationships such as polyamory, late autism diagnoses in women, and the role of spirituality in recovery.
I love playing with manifestation, and during several personal and clients' life situations I noticed that negative core beliefs formed due to trauma holds us back from manifesting the life we desire. I use different trauma processing methodologies such as EMDR, IFS, SE to name a few to heal from past wounds.

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.
