It is my belief that anyone can experience an inner light of peace and embody love regardless of the many possibilities: past or present traumas, mood instability, depression, anxiety, shame, daily stress, circumstances, infidelity, relationship status, break-ups, financial strain, divorce, failure, faith crisis, unmet needs, and all the things in between. One must first be willing to claim the growth and change desired by first believing that it is possible to obtain and are worthy of receiving it. If this is you, then I believe I am a right fit for you - I am willing to believe with you.

How do we break the spell of trauma? Shame, internalized gaslighting, trust issues, addictions and all the rest. How do we break free? The funny answer is not by fighting them as enemies. But by befriending them. Once we befriend them, they lose their power over us. But how do we befriend an enemy that lives in our Unconscious? Dreams, art, play, and imagination are all natives of this realm. so they are perfect guides through our underworld of rich personal symbolism to befriend shadow elements and integrate repressed capacities, replenishing vitality. Fun breaks the spell.

Are you struggling to break hurtful patterns in your life? Do you feel secretly stuck in one area of your life? Do you long to feel more inner peace, self-trust and freedom in your daily life? Life is frustrating when you don’t know how to move forward. Feeling stuck in painful emotions or unhealthy patterns drains your energy. It is hard to feel at peace in yourself if you are always worried about doing, being or saying the “right thing” to fit in, make people happy or impress others. Maybe you live so much in your head it is hard to connect with your feelings and trust your body’s wisdom, leaving you in a state of detachment.

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.
