Life can at times make even the most resilient person feel defeated, hopeless, helpless, demotivated and discouraged. I believe that in spite of feeling mishandled by life and sometimes by people, humans have an innate ability to refocus, redefine, reshape and overcome the complications we may be facing. Working through life's many unwanted, unwarranted, and unimaginable circumstances we are able to gain perspective, find a new way of defining the difficulty, and ultimately develop new ways of navigating through the environmental, emotional, and psychological obstacles barring or disallowing us access to living our best life.

My passion is helping others. Learning how to move through problems instead of resisting them reduces uncomfortable feelings. How we respond to life determines our level of fulfillment. I help clients improve life functioning and relationships in order to reach their potential. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-esteem, eating disorders, school/academic issues, and relationship turmoil can get in the way.

You're bullied by an unrelenting inner critic. It's crushing your self-esteem. You work so hard to do everything right and check all the boxes, never letting down your guard, never letting them see you sweat. The worry, stress, and fear of disappointing others is exhausting. You thought once you had it all figured out, you’d finally feel okay, right? But you always feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough. It's so frustrating being plagued by anxiety, perfectionism or even depression. And numbing out just makes it worse. At what point do you get to enjoy this life? Deep down you feel broken and don't know how to fix it.

Life is challenging and it's not surprising that many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions and building healthy relationships. Many of us have received the message that we aren’t “good enough”. These messages can come from many different sources and it can be difficult not to internalize these unhealthy belief systems. We will work together to get a better understanding of how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors have been impacted by past and present experiences and what you can do to not allow these negative experiences define who you are today.

I understand that powerful life events and subtle life experiences shape the direction of life. Therapy offers an avenue to understand what is happening and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. Especially, when we are left with feelings of frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness. In other words, we become “unhappy.”

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.
