Being present with ourselves and our lives is the most potent force for change. I am a climate-aware therapist working with individuals, couples, and families experiencing loss, grief, confusion, and conflict. My work focuses on grief, death & dying, trauma integration, and climate distress. Increasing our capacity to tolerate our pain and listen to what we really need dramatically increases our well-being. What would it be like to be more present in your life? Our work together can help you move towards a more fulfilling experience of life, even when loss and grief are present.

Does the idea of sitting in an office not feel supportive to you? Do you feel more authentic, inspired, and connected in nature? As beings who are part of nature, aligning with the timing of nature allows our nervous systems to relax and regulate. Our cultural timelines emphasize productivity and constant striving for more, pressures that go against our natural proclivity for essential things like rest, awe, enjoyment, presence, and connection. When we reconnect to the rhythm of our natural surroundings, we easily bring ourselves back to baseline where we can restore wellness, be creative, & truly experience the fullness of life.

Everyone deserves support and guidance amidst the unique challenges and transitions of life. My counseling practice offers two distinct specialties: one is a focus on adolescent girls and non-binary youth between the ages of 15-19. The other is supporting parents of all aged youth with ADHD to feel empowered with clear information about their child's neurodivergence. I am passionate about both of these unique experiences and seek to provide the opportunity to reflect, learn, and problem solve with an experienced therapist.

For most people, strong relationships are an important indicator of health and well-being. When we feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve us, our connection to others suffers too, which can turn up as depression, anxiety, or simply feeling alone and disconnected. By reconnecting with our essential gifts and strengths through the therapy process, we in turn can offer more to family, friends, and community.

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.
