This space is for you if you struggle with perfectionism/people-pleasing, spiritual struggles, or identity struggles. I also work with late-diagnosed Autism (i.e. 18 and older) and high-masking ASD in teens. Essentially, if you have ever felt like you are hiding a part of who you are in order to fit in, like you're scared or worried about disappointing people, or like a higher power is judging you, then it is time to begin valuing yourself.

Find a soft resting place here. Sometimes we need space to make sense of our experiences. Life transitions, such as parenting, relationship changes, profound loss, or unexpected roadblocks are a chance to pause, reflect and understand our experiences in order to walk forward with confidence and grace. I enjoy working with parents adjusting to parenthood, and couples navigating their relationship in parenthood. For some,
spirituality
is part of their identity. I am adept at holding space to work through mental health challenges within and amidst this lens.

Your religion,
spirituality
, or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

My standpoint is that
spirituality
and traditions are resourceful and integrative when about the therapeutic healing process.
Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed and depressed, hating your job and fighting with a partner or a family that refuses to adopt your views? Do you struggle to be the person you want to be? I offer confidential counselling and I believe in a client-centred approach. I am specialized in the field of memory studies, being interested in how identity is shaped, what are the paths of mental care and how to come to terms with anger, grief and depression. I also welcome immigrants of all nationalities dealing with acculturation, including family crisis, social anxiety and job related stress.

As well, since a client’s
spirituality
can make a valuable contribution to the process, please don't hesitate to bring this up it speaks to you.
Counselling is a collaborative endeavour between clients and therapist. As clients, you bring your physical and mental presence, honesty and commitment to work on yourselves or your relationship. As therapist, I bring my attentive presence, theoretical knowledge, support and ability to frame the sessions in a safe, confidential and respectful way. Trust is an essential ingredient of the therapeutic relationship. My commitment to you and to this trust is to explain proposed interventions clearly and to answer your questions as candidly as I can.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
