I also have an affinity for depth psychology and working with metaphor and spirituality as adjuncts to relational therapy.
As an individual, you may be experiencing a range of symptoms in body and mind that affect your ability to function optimally, to rise, and become your fullest you. In individual therapy, you’ll discover that these symptoms conceal aspects of yourself that yearn to be seen and known by the rest of you. In accessing these buried parts of self, you’ll find that your symptoms become openings through which powerful transformations occur. As a couple, you may find yourselves trapped in repetitive, painful interactions. In couples therapy, you'll begin to transform these interactions into a safe dialogue where all feel seen and known.

My intention is to create a welcoming, depth-oriented and respectful therapeutic relationship. I lean toward a holistic approach that recognizes the wholeness of all persons and individualizes treatment. The value of genuine warmth, feeling seen and unconditional positive regard is not lost on me. My style pulls from multiple theoretical lenses, such as a Narrative, Somatic, DBT, Trauma-informed and Humanistic lens. Mindfulness and spirituality are intertwined in my work. From a multicultural lens, I welcome all genders, expressions, populations and sexualities.

ASP), a division of The Center for Spirituality and Psychotherapy of The National Institute for the Psychotherapies.
For nearly 100 years, growing alongside the work of Freud and Jung stands the work of Roberto Assagioli, M.D. and Psychosynthesis. A transpersonal and distinctly western psychology, Psychosynthesis puts forth a holistic model of human development that takes into account the spiritual dimension of human nature. Assagioli saw humans as a vast array of biological, social and spiritual impulses and felt that a true psychology had to embrace all of these aspects of the person.

If interested, I will help you delve deeper into your beliefs to better understand how religion and/or spirituality can help you achieve your goals.
My eclectic therapeutic approach draws from my background as a social worker as well as my training in relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and family/marital therapy. While thinking about the person and their environment I focus on the present and revisit the past in order to better understand how it affects one’s current life. I take into account the individual sitting in front of me and how he or she can best benefit from therapy. The therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance in order for therapy to be effective. Clients should feel safe and comfortable opening up to their therapist.

Are you longing to connect with something bigger than your pain and fears? Would you like to try a different approach? Spiritual Counseling (SC) is a gentle, caring, supportive, process that honors your unique spiritual beliefs. It is not about proselytizing but exploring what spirituality means to you. SC can help you cultivate a more profound sense of peace, experience greater joy, find meaning and purpose, explore careers, and heal from life’s inevitable traumas and setbacks. While very similar, Spiritual Companioning is not psychotherapy. Please get in touch with me to explore this transformational modality for free.

As an Asian-American gay man who grew up in the US South, I knew from a young age that I lived in a world that did not offer me freedom to author my narrative. Thus, I am passionate about building critical consciousness, self-awareness, and self-confidence to counteract oppression and live in the world with empowerment and authenticity. I am privileged and honored to use my experience to heal any client who has ever felt marginalized, outcasted, or misunderstood simply for "not fitting into boxes."

I specialize in the integration of spirituality and psychology, and received post-graduate training in many spiritual and religious traditions.
Integral Psychotherapy, which is holistic and transformational, is a mind-body-spirit approach that deepens self-awareness and well-being. My approach is positive and supportive, bringing out our innate potentials for growth and healing. We shed the false self and align with our true nature, which is love. The Self-Inquiry Process is an experiential guide to awakening that can be used as an adjunct to therapy.

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.
