I have specialized training in religion and spirituality, and am very open to exploring these issues in therapy, if this is important to you.
Seeking help is the first step in creating real change in your life. I believe that change is possible, and that therapy can lead to a greater sense of freedom and creativity, as you work through old patterns that keep you stuck.Together we will explore the underlying dynamics of your life choices and relationships - including those in your family of origin - with the goal of deep and lasting transformation. In my experience, therapy can foster healing of even longstanding personality and relationship issues, so you can move forward with a new sense of hope.

If the space where neuroscience meets spirituality sounds intriguing to you, we will be a great fit.
During these times of accelerated change, transition can feel quite overwhelming. Maybe life circumstances shifted dramatically or you've been feeling for awhile now that you'd like more clarity in your life or into yourself. My purpose is to guide you through shifts in consciousness and to the answers you already have within you. I can teach techniques to quiet the mind and connect to your higher self. We can explore deeper trance states, higher perspectives, and uncover what may be blocking you from living as your best, most authentic self.

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.

As a spiritually-informed psychotherapist, I listen for the ways that spirituality may be either a resource for healing or cause of trauma.
I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families, both virtually and in-person. Many of my clients come to therapy to address self-identity and purpose, family relationships (couples, parents, adult siblings), spiritual/religious questions, struggles with self-esteem, acute and chronic grief, sexuality/gender identity issues, and a desire to find a life that is meaningful and in alignment with their values. Articulating a coherent narrative for one's life is a task of deepest import, and therapy, I believe, is a uniquely relevant space to pursue that quest.

I am also informed by the fields of research in neuroplasticity & spirituality in mental health.
Life is worth living when we feel authentic and genuine, and engage in meaningful relationships. Sadness, grief, disappointment, hurt, and loss are all-natural human emotions. Feeling chronically anxious, depressed, inadequate, or unlovable are not. These unrelenting feelings come from an injury (or injuries) that hasn’t healed. Regardless of where your emotional injury comes from, you can learn to regulate your reactions, heal these wounds, take care of yourself, and connect to your sense of meaning and purpose. The more you live in alignment with your values and what is meaningful to you, the better you will feel.

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.
