Spirituality and Therapy
 There is growing demand for mental health treatment that includes competency in both psychological and spiritual domains. (You may want to see a recent Washington Post article on this topic).
I practice psychotherapy in a way that will honors your spiritual or religious beliefs. I believe that faith and spirituality are intricately interwoven with the emotional and psychological parts of our being. In this manner, psychology is not just a tool for understanding yourself, but can be a window through which we may choose to see more of God revealed.
My primary relationship to you is always as a therapist, and yet my active faith and pastoral training may be aspects of my background that will allow you to fully express your spiritual or religious beliefs. Many of my clients have a faith orientation different from mine, or none at all, and I never attempt to change that. I am most interested in helping you thrive despite the challenges in your life. In the therapy relationship, I want to help you stand with confidence in the psychological or spritual truths you already know, and help you eagerly embrace that which is yet unknown.
