Sometimes it is the devastation of a break up that leads us to searching for a new therapist. Whether its a long-term relationship or a short-term situationship, saying goodbye to a person we are attached to is traumatic. We are left craving support, connection, and someone to guide us down the path of “what just happened?” As social creatures, we need companionship and we want answers. Relationship endings are also new beginnings.

My background and primary approach can be described as psychodynamic, and I am interested in spirituality as an important human capacity.
Offering individual therapy sessions in Massachusetts and Vermont. Freud believed that the goal of psychoanalysis is to free a person to love and to work. Similarly, I see therapy as a process of liberation that frees one to love and contribute to the world. The liberation of one person, sparks liberation in the rest of the world too. I believe that each of us has a unique contribution to make in the world. I see therapy as a process of freeing people to love and contribute. By liberating ourselves, we liberate others.

As a healer and psychotherapist of 29 years, I have found Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Spirituality work synergistically to heal both Heart and Soul.
I believe it is an act of profound courage and faith in oneself to enter into therapy! Whether you have been longing to be more connected to yourself or others, or are yearning for a sense of belonging, reaching out for support and guidance on your journey toward healing can be immensely helpful. Maybe you would like to be free from the patterns of pain that have held you back or dimmed your heart, like anxiety, self-limiting beliefs, depression, shame, loneliness or trauma caused by past or present experiences. While such complex emotions can feel insurmountable, you need not be alone as you seek balance and healing in your life.

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.
