I love working with people of a variety of lifestyles and paths, including but not limited to: artists & creatives, LGBTQ+, kink & BDSM, people in transition, trauma histories, and alternative spirituality.
I’m in the business of changing lives and teaching you how to thrive. There is power in the realization that you yourself can learn how to thrive. I'm here to remind you of that and show you how to take the manageable steps you need to grow and heal. And not every therapist is trained to help you in exactly the ways you need. As a veteran therapist with over 10 years of experience in trauma-informed therapy, we can cover therapeutic ground at a rate other less skilled practitioners aren't able to offer.

Some of my specialties include trauma and abuse, sexuality, LGBTQ+, racial identity, spirituality, spiritual trauma, CODA (Child of Deaf Adult), anxiety and interpersonal issues.
Our stories and life experiences play a large role in shaping who we are and why we do what we do. I count it as a privilege to journey with people into the most sacred parts of their stories. I believe that when done in a safe context with a trusted therapist beside you, psychotherapy is a practice that can lead to great transformation. With a compassionate posture, I create a safe and non judgemental space for clients to process the parts of themselves that have been impacted by trauma and harmful experiences. Our brave work is built in these safe spaces where understanding self and one’s experiences can lead to healing.

I believe humans are beautifully complex beings with a mind, body, and spirit - to isolate healing to only one of these areas is to significantly limit potential growth. Are you experiencing anxiety that has not dissipated no matter how well you try to take care of yourself? Are you noticing that your relationships and career are not where you want them to be, but are struggling to know where to start to make changes? Maybe you are curious about how past challenges and trauma could be impacting you now, and want to break free from the hold that the past seems to have on you.

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.
