Initial Consultation Call (15ish min) - FREE
Counseling is like a dance; if the partner isn’t right, finding the rhythm is next to impossible. So by scheduling a consult call, 100% free of charge, you’ll get a chance to chat with me to see if I’m the right “dance partner” for you.
Initial Intake Session (55ish min) - $150
This often is where we dive into your concerns and struggles to determine where you are now and where you’d like to go by the time we know we’ve accomplished the work.
Initial Ongoing Session (50ish min) - $120
This is when the true work starts. After we’ve determined what’s amiss and what needs to be mended, ongoing sessions are when we look to strategies for mending. I offer EMDR here as well, a key way in which to unlock and release trauma from hampering our lives.
FAQ
Q: Is there a difference between spiritual abuse and religious abuse?
A: Yes… and no. Spiritual abuse often is addressing the kinds of abuse that occur when in religious settings. In other words, it’s similar to other forms of abuse, such as verbal or sexual abuse, but the added layer is tactics of the perpetrator often are under the guise of “God.” Religious abuse is more corporate in nature, a “system of abuse,” and is more describing religious institutions perpetuating the damage rather than the individual clergy responsible.
Q: Will you pressure me into doubting my faith? Will you guilt me for having doubts about my faith?
A: 100% no. Our work will revolve around making sense of the pathology involved in spiritually loaded language inherited from your upbringing. Said another way, a lot of times what was taught as “theology” that was damaging and destructive is actually family of origin wounding hiding behind religious language.
Q: What if now or during our work I want to leave my faith?
A: That choice along with all choices in your life is up to you and absolutely honored by me. The goal is health, and I’m in the business of mental health with a spiritual emphasis. What gets you to be mentally healthy as it pertains to your spirituality isn’t set by me or even us; you decide what it is and I’ll do what I can to get you there.
Q: I’m in a remote area of WA; would we still be able to work?
A: Yes! My work is virtual so all sessions we have will be taking place online over telehealth.
