Individual Therapy

I offer individual, reflective therapy sessions in which we explore the areas you want to strengthen, whether its in knowing yourself more clearly or in your relating to others.

Challenges in your particular context can also be a starting place from which to grow in deepening awareness of yourself, and your relating with God and others.

The contexts of your living would vary and could include: transitions; overwhelming challenges or circumstances; stress and burnout; grief and loss; living between cultures.

I am available to meet with men and women of Christian faith who lead and care for others, whether staff or lay persons. This includes pastors, worship leaders, therapists, spiritual directors, chaplains, coaches, or others who lead in the marketplace but want to include reflections of faith in their process.

I am also available to meet with people, leaders or ATCKs, who have lived and worked cross-culturally, and address the particular needs of those who live in between cultures, including forming a sense of self that integrates the influences of the different cultures.

I am fluent in Spanish and English and offer sessions in both languages.

Approach

I have had a lifelong curiosity of how we are shaped and formed as people. My training, integrating the understandings of psychology and Christian faith, has given that curiosity a foundation which informs my work.

This foundation includes the understandings of existential psychotherapy and phenomenological ways of asking about our lived experience. These inform how I think of the ways we interact with the experiences and relationships of our lives. Developmental psychology and the neuroscience of attachment provide a framework in which to understand how we form our sense of self, and self-in-relation. Covenant epistemology provides an integration of these ways of knowing with our understandings of God, and our Christian faith.

When I meet with clients, these foundations inform the listening exercises and reflective questions which guide the process and are tailored to meet the particular needs of the client.
