As a seasoned mental health therapist, I cannot ignore the life-changing impact that spirituality has played in the lives of my clients and believe that there is significant overlap between spiritual wellness and psychological goals.
Spiritual wellness involves finding your life’s meaning and purpose. It is a predictor of improved immune health, greater psychological well-being, and increased clarity and optimism. Spiritual wellness provides an individual with an established set of beliefs and values that can be drawn upon throughout the life course, especially during times that are challenging.
My approach to counseling integrates healing for the Body, Mind and Spirit. In session, we will explore the development of a regular “practice” to be utilized outside the therapy session for continuous wellness, recognize the impact of your core beliefs, create a life that is in sync with your values and refine your life purpose.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

How I Can Help
-Are you currently challenged by an experience that has altered the course of your life?
-Are you faced with a life-changing decision that has you gripped with fear and anxiety?
-Are you floundering from an unfortunate event that has you questioning the point of it all?
I am here to reassure you that you do not have to go through this alone. You can borrow from my hope, until you regain equilibrium. Healing can happen, no matter the circumstance.
The treatment modalities that I most commonly utilize are rooted in:
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in practice for 19+ years. The majority of my career has been working with veterans at The US Department of Veterans Affairs providing Psychiatric Emergency Services, and Individual and Group Psychotherapy for those diagnosed with concurrent Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders.
I am no stranger to adversity, and during the most challenging times in my life, I have found therapy profoundly helpful. It became the starting point for a journey of self-discovery that persists to this day.
If I can grow and heal, and others can grow and heal, you can too.
In both my personal and professional life, I’ve come to appreciate the capacity for human resilience. People can recover from the worst experiences. It is awe-inspiring and I feel privileged to witness it over and over. If I can grow and heal, and others can grow and heal, you can too.
As a therapist, I am efficient, pragmatic, and offer a relaxed atmosphere, with hopeful presence, riddled with far too many F-bombs!
Outside of meeting with clients I am likely at the dog park with “Blu,” meditating, hiking, or working in the garden.
