Spirituality and Faith
For many people spirituality and faith are important elements in how they make meaning of life and the world in which they live. Often it is what we value and believe that helps us make changes and live in a meaningful, integrated and content manner.
Should a client wish, I am very open to talking about and using spirituality and faith as a means of making sense of difficulties and effecting change and providing support. I offer a position of deep respect and honor for all faith traditions and my own personal tradition is rooted in Roman Catholicism.
Professionally, I offer some unique perspectives that are often sought by those with a deep sense of personal spirituality or faith commitment:
- Assessment of candidates for the ordained ministry. I have many years of experience completing psychological evaluations for prospective candidates to the seminary, diaconate, church ministry and religious life. I also offer assessment and psychotherapeutic services for those in ministry who are experiencing some form of personal or emotional crisis or for those who may be referred by Church or faith leadership
- Forgiveness Therapy: a psychotherapeutic approach that has been proven to address the very painful issues of deep anger and resentment against past or present emotional hurt
- Psycho-spiritual workshops and seminars: topics such as forgiveness, emotional healing, intimate relationships and parenting
- Pornography addiction: a new and very difficult addiction to treat and which many people wish to address in a wholistic and integrated manner (see my separate page on Pornography Addiction for more details)
