My primary work today is with those individuals struggling to achieve the best version of themselves. A variety of factors are at play here from past trauma, difficulty connecting, tragic life events, self sabotaging or self destructive coping skills, among others that get in our own way. I offer a place for the individual to explore past patterns and create a new narrative for a new future.​

There are several things in my life which drive me to be a counselor. My own past with it struggles, acceptances, failures, and successes drive me to do what I do. I am able to sit in dark places, empathize with struggle and loneliness, and challenge ways of thinking and behaving from a non-judgmental place. I love the unique position a counselor has to problem solve through the failures, walk the uphill road to recovery, and celebrate the success and growth that comes out of the journey.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, functioning adults who appear capable on the outside while quietly and internally carrying anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, or the lasting effects of childhood emotional neglect. Therapy with me is a warm, grounded space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin understanding the patterns that no longer serve you.

One Evening Spot Available - Grief has a way of shattering life as we have known it. Whether unexpected or foreseen, the pain of loss can overwhelm us and consume our lives. It's too much to bear alone and yet it's difficult to find a space where you have permission to grieve at your own pace and wrestle with the complexities of loss.

Many of the young adults that I work with feel stuck–in relationships, in majors or careers that no longer serve them, in addictive patterns, or in finding meaning and purpose in daily life. These chapters of change can feel overwhelming and defeating. They also give us the opportunity and often the motivation to heal, grow, and learn more about ourselves in the process.

In the words of Virginia Satir, sometimes we prefer the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty. When people wrestle with shame and fear, they often adopt patterns of controlling, avoiding, and numbing as coping mechanisms. We cling to what is familiar and comforting, even when it’s leading to harmful habits, deeper isolation, or burnout. You are not meant to bear this burden alone. Counseling isn't for the broken- it's for the brave. It's the decision to lean into your current pain, allowing you to build the resilience, faith, and freedom you've been searching for.

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.
