My specialty is working with psychology and spirituality.
People come to me to heal from trauma, to find ways to face challenges of today, and to grow into who they long to be. Many wrestle with the effects of that trauma on their day to day lives and relationships. Others are struggling with questions of meaning and faith. Some wrestle with guilt and shame and seek healing on a deep level. All are looking to walk with integrity. I have spent over 35 years working with psychology and spirituality. I have a deep understanding of the spiritual teachings and practices of many religions, a personal engagement in Buddhism, and experience in psychotherapy helping people find healing and growth.

There is a place for you here. Therapy in the heart of Westboro. Sometimes we need space to make sense of our experiences. Life transitions, such as parenting, relationship changes, profound loss, or the unexpected are a chance to pause, reflect and understand our experiences. I enjoy working with parents adjusting to parenthood, young adults figuring out their next steps, and couples navigating their relationship in parenthood. For some, spirituality is important and I am adept at holding space through this lens. This is a place to talk it through and together find different skills to manage and make sense of your world.

Your religion, spirituality, or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

A client’s spirituality can make a valuable contribution to the process of therapy.
Therapy is a collaborative endeavour between client and therapist. As client, you bring your physical and mental presence, honesty and commitment to work on yourself. As therapist, I bring my attentive presence, theoretical knowledge, support and ability to frame the sessions in a safe and respectful way. Trust is an essential ingredient of the therapeutic relationship. My commitment to you and to this trust is to explain proposed interventions clearly and to answer your questions as candidly as I can.

Spirituality Counsellors
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 behaviours. 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, visualisation, 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.
