When the traditions of 'mental health' services are not meeting your needs-CALL. This could be a result of many reasons that pose as a barrier to meeting your emotional support needs in an office. Tele-Mental Health Therapy is a way to have the service come to you and allow you the ability to mold the service in a way that would be most convenient for you. I am a local to the Catskill Mountain Counties with previous experiences in the Rochester area, and have seen first hand the challenges our communities face. It is my hope to help our communities gain an "out of the box" emotional support experience.

We all need a place where we can be ourselves and find meaning and healing. I will work with you to explore life's challenges and find insight and acceptance. I generally work best with clients who are looking for personal growth and are interested in self inquiry and deeper self understanding. I also provide life coaching and work with those who are going through transitional periods or want to explore spirituality and non-duality. I have particular interest in philosophy, Buddhism and mindfulness and the creative arts and offer lessons in healing through art and sketch-booking.

Spirituality Therapists

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.
