I also incorporate spirituality when needed, as I believe there's something bigger than ourselves that is eager to guide us.
Hey, too many profiles and you're tired?

No matter what blockages you're facing, my job is to help you discover your power for change and accompany you through this transformative journey. Let's find the SPRING in you :)

As a Christian woman, it’s hard navigating your experiences of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Your pain and suffering makes you question “If God is good, then why hasn’t he healed me? Is there something wrong with me? Do I not have enough faith?” Maybe past painful experiences of abuse or neglect haunt you and you can’t seem to forgive and move on. Depression and anxiety feel out of your control leaving you scared and hopeless. You pray and pray and pray and it doesn’t stop. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help as you hoped. You desire and need the peace promised in the bible but it feels so far away.

Starting psychotherapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. Because psychotherapy is deeply relational, I seek to spend time getting to know clients and building a respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Working from a strengths-based lens, I seek to center each individual’s unique qualities and capacity for change to support them in finding individualized solutions to their problems.

I know finding the right therapist can be really hard! I am here to support diverse individuals in whatever life stage they are at. I foster a space where clients can share their experiences openly without fear or judgment. I focus on depression and anxiety but understand that for each person this looks different and thus remain curious and open to understanding each of my client's experiences. I always maintain a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens in my practice. I encourage introspection, self-compassion and hope that through our sessions clients can eventually support themselves.

I am passionate about helping people find their authentic selves, to live fuller, more meaningful and flourishing lives- the lives they were born to live. Fostered and continually growing through my own introspective explorations, I help clients of most issues and needs examine their lives with a mindful awareness of their outlived tendencies. I help clients strengthen their emotional intelligence to understand themselves and others better and perceive why we do what we do; and I invite clients toward a disposition of openness and intrigue needed for eliciting empowering change.

I work with adults who are seeking to experience more authenticity within relationships and work towards living more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Perhaps there are emotional wounds from the past that are keeping you stuck, or the reality of living in the modern world is overwhelming, leaving little room for connecting with yourself. My practice is rooted in the belief that within every person exists a wellspring — a source of wisdom, creativity, and innate capacity for healing. I strive to embody an empathic, grounded presence that creates a healing space for my clients to pause and reconnect to their own inner wisdom.

Talking things through and accountability have not been enough to sustain satisfaction in your life? Let’s try something different! In our sessions everything deserves a place; emotions, thoughts, images, dreams, desires, impulses, stories, and sensations, they all belong. And all need to be acknowledged in order to generate real movements and shifts in our lives. Movements can happen externally as a physical release, internally as a new image of ourselves, or at a soul level shifting our dynamics with others, and the way we live.

Celina is a neurodivergent queer Expressive Arts Therapist with a focus on somatic, earthbased and relational modalities. Their work is client centred and grounded in trauma-informed approaches to healing as an artform. Human nervous systems are wired entirely towards connection, belonging and coregulation, like all beings that exist upon this earth. In times of struggle, we reach out towards others. Yet many of us have learned that vulnerability is dangerous, and have developed coping mechanisms that protect us from connection. The therapeutic relationship is a safe enough space to begin identifying, shifting & reshaping our lives.

Spirituality Counsellors
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.
