A valued mentor once said to me, “Sometimes we can save the whole world but we can’t find our own way out of a paper bag.” He was commenting on the situation we humans find ourselves in when dealing with overwhelming worry, loss or trauma. On the surface, some people appear to have it all, but many are silently suffering on the inside. One of the biggest challenges we humans face is recognizing when we are stuck in a pattern of dysfunctional behavior. One of the subsequent challenges after that is asking for professional help to navigate a way out of that dysfunctional space.

Are you tired of holding it all together when inside, you feel like you’re barely getting by? Do you find yourself powering through the day, yet it is difficult to complete tasks? Whether you're carrying the silent weight of ADHD, waking up in a fog of sadness, cycling through anxiety that won’t quiet down, or feeling like yourself for only part of the month due to PMDD, it’s valid. You're not imagining it, and you don’t have to keep doing this alone.

There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think... I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner while working inpatient as a psychiatric nurse for 5 years. I am proud of my profession in nursing, as I believe that nurse practitioners bring a unique perspective to this field. Kind and compassionate bedside manner and effective listening skills are values I developed early on in my career, and I feel comfortable making connections with folks from any background.

It’s not easy to take the first step toward getting help. You may be feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed by the pace of life. Maybe it’s harder to get good sleep, you can’t quiet your mind, or you've lost energy and desire to enjoy things that used to bring you joy. Whatever brought you here, know that you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Anxiety may feel like constant worrying, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge all the time. Depression can look like constantly feeling tired, loss of motivation, and feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

Spirituality Psychiatrists

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 behaviors. 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, visualization, 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.
