I believe that at their very core, human beings desire to live meaningful, connected lives. Using a cognitive, as well as existential and spiritual approach, I will help you engage your suffering in a fresh way so you can live a more present, contented existence. I am a mindfulness-based, existential psychotherapist located in Brooklyn, New York. My ideal client is someone who is interested in an alternative to Western psychology and has some interest or experience in Eastern thought or
spirituality
. Anyone who has found usefulness in psychedelics in the past could also be a good fit.

I use my training in relational psychoanalysis, as well as my interest in Buddhist philosophy,
spirituality
, group work, dreamwork, breathwork and energy work --and my own lived experience as a human being on our shared planet-- to specialize in working with people who want to ask themselves (and be asked!) meaningful questions, address core identity issues, get out of their own way, and, in so doing, enlarge their impact on the world around them.
I'm not here to help you become "normal" (whatever that is) because you can and should aim higher than that. I am here to help you learn about --and become-- your truest self, in all your idiosyncratic, beautiful, infuriating complexity. I'll work collaboratively with you --individually, in an interpersonal process group, or both-- to help you move from Point A (a place of stuckness, disengagement, indecision, of somehow managing to feel overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the exact. same. time.) to Point B (land of decisiveness, clarity, awareness of who you are and what you want to spend your energy creating in the world). It's amazing how quickly being honest with yourself, true to yourself, clears up anxiety, depression and brain fog. Unsurprisingly, as with most big undertakings, this kind of work can be rough going at times. But if you're anything like most of the folks I see --smart, creative, entrepreneurial, growth-oriented people who have done a lot of personal work already-- you are, by this point, more than ready to bring in the big guns.

I specialize in mental health and Christian
spirituality

In an age of mass social media. In a time that is considered the most socially connected. Research shows that people actually feel more lonely than ever, disconnected and lost. This affects our mental health and the way we see the world and ourselves. I believe people can overcome these obstacles, of not only loneliness and depression but many different stressors in their lives. You do not have to be alone. Therapy is a great way to work on you and becoming the best version of yourself. I would love to help you start that journey and walk through it with you.

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.
