My ideal patients are those who advocate for their healing process and journey. As a Physician Assistant I greatly value being a guide and resource for patients, aiding them in discovering their full potential. I greatly appreciate providing an array of healing modalities including, but not limited to, medication management, holistic/herbal remedies, and brief psychotherapeutic support. While I enjoy working with all demographics, what I am truly passionate about is working with middle-aged women, especially those struggling with menstruation and/or additional complications or concerns of the female body and function.

I work with people who are suffering, whether that is due to worry or stress that feels out of control, or from lacking joy or meaning. Together, we explore how this affects you physically, socially, psychologically and spiritually. Some people prefer only to engage in therapy, exploring dreams and learning coping skills; some people want medication to help with this process. I work with you based on your preferences, explaining the options available. Each person is unique, so I tailor my recommendations to your individual experience.

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.
