I also work with spirituality and identity questions surrounding growth and meaning-making.
Hi there! Are you a stressed out parent, trying to find ways to parent meaningfully while also managing your own feelings and struggles? Are you struggling to connect with your partner, in a new stage of life? Or are you an over-worked young adult, feeling all the pressures to 'achieve' even though your circumstances are so different from previous generations? Then you are not alone. Therapy is a wonderful place to explore these struggles and find new ways of coping and healing. In therapy we will work on your pain points, old ways of coping, and how to heal from past trauma so you can be free to live in a connected, calm way.

I work hard to ensure that my clients feel safe and supported throughout this process. By creating a comfortable and lighthearted environment, individuals, families, and couples are able to gain some reprieve from the difficulties they are experiencing.

Hi there. I am glad you stopped by. Equine-assisted psychotherapy offers organic healing and growth that is both evidence-based and unique... because you and your story are unique. Horses live in the here-and-now; They are prey animals. Because of this, they are constantly providing us with feedback about our own behavior. This feedback can allow us to become more self-aware and self-reflective. They teach us about congruency, confidence/leadership, emotional regulation, emotional awareness, fear, anger, setting boundaries, and relationships, amongst other things. If you would like to grow in any of these areas, horses can help you.

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.
