Contemplative Photography is a peaceful, beautiful, and great way to relax and to reconnect with oneself and one's spirituality.
I prefer to work with clients over 21 years old. I am gentle in my approach, am told I have a calming presence, and I have demonstrated the ability to be a peacemaker in troubled family situations. My faith and my good instincts have helped me to provide compassionate and professional care to my clients and to their families. I work with couples and individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other difficult and painful circumstances. I also have a wide array of life experiences and have survived difficult and painful times in my own life. I can offer hope, encouragement and help to those who seek healing.

I am a psychotherapist with 10 years in private practice seeing families, individuals and couples. Since 2013, I have been providing holistic mental health care from a Jungian tradition. The term 'holistic' to the pioneer Carl Jung, meant unity between the conscious and the unconscious. Frequently it further means recognition and treatment of an individual in mind, body and spirit. Both ideals are at the heart of integrative practice. Holistic to me does not mean 'alternative', although I have many decades of immersing myself in healing modalities that are, including acupuncture and nutrition.

I work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger and trauma. A lot of individuals struggle to balance both professional and personal life, which can lead to resentment towards self, family, or work. We all need a space to put everything on the table and objectively look at what is getting in the way of feeling fulfilled and accomplished. Most people want to feel successful but due to family, history, self, and/or social definitions are not able to measure up due to an unrealistic idea. We work together to redefine how we see ourselves and the world around us.

I have always had a passion for practicing as a therapist, and the reason is simple; I believe that all human beings are and were created equally and ultimately are all in search of the same thing in life, happiness. It took me some time before I chose to pursue a career in mental health and many hours, days and years of exploring my innermost being before I knew that this field was for me. I have spent a lot of time exploring the behaviors, feelings, and emotions of others, along with getting to know myself and learning to be in tune with my innermost self.

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.
