What is the difference between therapy and spiritual mentoring?
Therapy is clinical care for emotional distress, trauma, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Spiritual mentoring is a separate, non-clinical relationship focused on meaning, values, and contemplative practice. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
What can I expect in a first session?
We’ll talk about what brings you in, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope will change. I’ll explain how I work and answer your questions. You set the pace, and you won’t be asked to dig into your hardest memories right away.
What approaches do you use?
Depending on your needs, my work may draw on EMDR, Brainspotting, the Flash Technique, Internal Family Systems, EFT (tapping), DBT skills, mindfulness, and depth psychology. Your plan is built around you.
Do you work with couples?
Yes. Couples counseling focuses on the patterns and unmet needs beneath disconnection. Many couples choose 90-minute sessions.
Do I need to be religious or spiritual?
No. If you want a purely clinical approach, that is what you’ll receive. Spiritual themes are included only if you want them, and no particular belief is required for mentoring.
How do I schedule?
Email or call to set up a free 15-minute consultation. I respond within 24 business hours.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The 15-minute conversation is free and carries no obligation.
Do I need to live in Oregon?
For therapy, yes: I work in person in Cottage Grove or online with clients located in Oregon. Spiritual mentoring is open to people anywhere.
How do I know which service is right for me?
If you want support for anxiety, trauma, or your relationship, therapy is the right fit. If you want to explore your spiritual life and practice, choose mentoring. We can sort it out together in the consultation.
What if I’m in crisis?
Please don’t wait for a reply from me. Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. This website and my phone line are not monitored for emergencies.
