Are you longing to connect with something bigger than your pain and fears? Would you like to try a different approach? Spiritual Exploration (SE) is a gentle, caring, supportive, process that honors your unique spiritual beliefs. It is not about proselytizing but exploring what spirituality means to you. SE can help you cultivate a more profound sense of peace, experience greater joy, find meaning and purpose, explore careers, and heal from life’s inevitable traumas and setbacks. While very similar, Spiritual Exploration is not psychotherapy. Please get in touch with me to learn about this transformational modality for free.

I believe that beginning therapy is a courageous and positive step for a person to take in their life and I look to welcome each individual into this journey and support them along the way. I want to help clients live a life that brings them joy and fulfillment while supporting them in times where it may feel the opposite. I believe that my clients are capable of more than they believe and there is nothing more rewarding than watching this idea come to fruition in a client’s own mind.

Long experience has familiarized me with the many ways in which people surrender to fear and anxiety, remain stuck in unhappy memories, repeat self-defeating behaviors, and forget how to love and be loved. People who telephone for an appointment are typically struggling with serious and painful personal difficulties. These can range from lifelong burdens to family crises, often with a tangled history; rarely has an acute problem dropped into an otherwise happy life. My patients would like to see major changes in their lives. With that in mind, I work as rapidly as circumstances allow, but with empathy and flexibility.

Imagine yourself as a writer, carefully crafting the story of your life. What important events and experiences stand out, and what effect does your supporting cast have on you? Is your story unfolding the way you want it to? For most of us, the answers to these questions aren't always clear. We're often too entrenched in our own story to be our own author. Experiences such as navigating your roles as a woman, partner, and mother, all while taking care of yourself, can be tough.

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.
