Whether you are seeking to deepen your spiritual connection, explore new ways to live in alignment with your beliefs, or transition away from an inherited faith tradition -- our conversations will help you continue along the journey of your faith. I blend western and eastern religious theory and am comfortable with agnosticism. I often use out-of-session readings and 'homework' assignments to encourage private reflection and practice of the insights gained in therapy.

In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus states “If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.” This simple statement guides my approach to counseling. The light exists, and we sometimes need help to improve the soundness of our mental and emotional “eyes” to let more light into our personal awareness and influence our feelings, thoughts and behavior. I respect the sacred and unique way that each person experiences a relationship with God, especially during periods of mental, emotional, or relational distress. From my own study of the Bible, I am continually impressed by the applicability of Christian values and truth to issues of mental, emotional, and relational health.
