Transpersonal Therapists in Cambridge, MA
Experiencing life with anxiety, grief, and trauma is exhausting, especially when caring for others. You long to move forward with ease and connection but spend a lot of your energy on keeping yourself safe. Tension in your chest or a pit in your stomach make it difficult to enjoy pleasure or be present with the good things happening in your life. As a somatic, IFS trained therapist, we can use your body’s signals as a map to discover the parts of you that need attention. These parts that hold painful experiences can be nurtured, creating space for more vitality and creativity expressed in a richer, fuller life.

My practice is dedicated to helping clients deepen their capacity for self awareness and personal agency.

Drawing from psychoanalytic, relational, and mindfulness approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to facilitate a safe therapeutic space conducive to increased intimacy, curiosity, and creativity while building on strengths derived from their unique life experiences.

My desire is to support courageous souls who sense there's more to life; more wholeness, truth and aliveness, but feel stuck in fear, pain or shame. You may long to feel more capable of meeting what is overwhelming so you no longer have to shrink or live small. You're not here to stay in your comfort zone.

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you." -Rumi. If you're ready to do the work in and between sessions, I am here to hold that space with you.

Trained by Psychedelic Therapy Boston, I work collaboratively with a prescriber to offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). This modality utilizes the power of a medicine-induced, non-ordinary state and can offer clients some space from the parts of themselves that are overly critical, judgmental or are just feeling really stuck. In between medicine sessions I provide psychotherapeutic integration sessions in which clients can capitalize on the benefits of this altered-state experience and weave the insights more concretely into their daily lives.

Life hurts. It just does. We all go through tough times at some point. Tragedy and hardship hit unannounced. These events have a lasting impact - even subtle ones - especially if they took place during our formative years. They can leave us on high alert, isolated, stressed out, hating ourselves, experiencing nightmares, not being able to feel joy, or to concentrate. If you have experienced any kind of trauma, be it a massive event that you didn't recover from, the repeated attrition of abuse, or the subtle and insidious wounding of emotional neglect, there is hope.

It's really just so human to get tangled up in moods, emotions, unhelpful thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors. This can stir shame, adding to the suffering. What's missing is self-compassion. Ironically, when we're more kind to ourselves, we're more able to act effectively. My interest is empowering folks to learn practical skills to manage unwanted patterns- and cultivate new ones. My approach often uses mindfulness to create a more spacious, patient response to moods, emotions and thoughts; and cognitive therapy as a pro-active way to re-program thinking and learn new coping skills, and helpful mind states such as curiosity.

Effective psychotherapy resembles friendship in the most generative and robust sense of the term.

If your own efforts have not brought relief, the smartest response to being stuck is to seek psychotherapeutic help. The help of an outside view, another's mind and attention can make it possible to understand yourself in ways that friends cannot, however loving they may be.

How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
