Faith and spirituality can play a role in therapy in many ways.
Perhaps you feel that your faith is essential in meeting life’s challenges.
Prayer and holy words help you find strength and comfort; you want a therapist who understands how your faith supports you in times of trouble.
I do understand and welcome the opportunity to include your beliefs in your healing journey.
Struggles can arise in one’s faith journey.
Maybe you have doubts about your faith and want to let go of the traditions you experienced growing up.
Perhaps the church and its members have been more hurtful than helpful to you. As a result, you need to feel safe exploring these concerns with a compassionate therapist who can support you with objectivity and expertise.
I understand these needs and invite you to talk openly about your faith experience.
Spirituality may be more general than specific.
For instance, you might be deeply spiritual but do not identify with a specific faith tradition.
Even so, you want a therapist who respects the spiritual perspective you find empowering and who is open to the idea that not all that is spiritual fits into a defined set of practices.
I honor you, as well, and will gladly give space for what strengthens you.
Let’s find a path consistent with your spiritual beliefs.
Whether you are experiencing pain related to faith or are using your faith to overcome pain, I will respectfully and thoughtfully support your journey.
If you want to include your spirituality in our conversations, I will follow your lead, never imposing my perspective and always being open to exploring yours.
Let’s take this journey together. Contact me today for more information on how I can help.
