You don’t have to walk through this alone.
If you've experienced trauma—especially the kind that’s hidden, denied, or dismissed by others—you may carry pain that feels unspeakable. As a therapist who has personally survived abuse and has spent 25 years helping others heal from sexual, ritual, and spiritual trauma, I offer a grounded, compassionate presence that can hold what others cannot.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

Hi, I’m glad you're here. I'm Billi, and I have been helping adults and adolescents overcome and heal from some of life's more difficult challenges for over 10 years. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to understand and address the issues you’re facing and I will be there to support you every step of the way.

I help persons when their religion/ spirituality seems to have ended.
Depression and anxiety are experiences that we all have to learn how to manage sometime within our lifetime. For some, they are chronic, life-long struggles. I help persons see the uniqueness of their particular anxiety and/or depression and help them manage their lives better. "One size" does not fit all forms of depression or anxiety.

I enjoy incorporating spirituality and poetry for those that are interested.
I seek to build genuine connections where people feel safe to be themselves and explore the parts of life that feel challenging - trauma, grief, strained relationships, depression, mania, anxiety, and whatever else ails them. Putting down the shame and approaching these topics from a stance of curiosity and kindness often grants us access to a version of ourselves that is intuitively wise and healing.

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.
