Are you a clergy member looking to build relationships of trust, accountability, or support with other clergy? Or are you a leader of a church looking to plan a staff-wide retreat or a lecture series on mental health? Or perhaps you're a divinity student or a chaplain resident looking to respond to your candidacy assessment or to process responses to your training and candidacy experiences.
These are all particular areas of my expertise and passion. I specialize in working with religious leaders and those preparing to be religious leaders. I also specialize in referrals from religious leaders when they know people whose faith and mental health concerns are connected or people who would like their faith integrated into their therapy.
I would be delighted to come and speak to your church, your staff, your team of residents, or your spiritual formation group or to lead a retreat tailored to your goals and needs. Some examples of my work in this area include:
My research and training have uniquely prepared me to specialize in working with these populations and to integrate spirituality into psychotherapy, seminars, and conversations. I welcome your questions or interest in regards to these opportunities.
With an office in Chapel Hill, I serve the Triangle area, but I am also available for consultation or training outside of this region, if desired.
