Together, we use spirituality as a foundation for resilience and personal growth.
My journey into therapy began in my early years, shaped by the experience of immigrating to the USA as an infant. Learning English before my parents, I became a bridge between cultures, an experience that nurtured my empathy and understanding — essential qualities in my therapeutic work. My path has been guided by a calling to serve others, intertwining my faith with my professional skills.

My interests include ADHD, motivation, and focus, as well as sexual and racial identity, parenting, spirituality, and friendships.
I see talk therapy as a vital tool to help us build the lives we want and the world we desire. It’s my pleasure to work with adults and teens seeking a greater sense of purpose, freedom, and joy in daily life, and those looking for a sense of intimacy and trust to anchor their explorations. With patience and warm interest, I invite you to bring your curiosity to bear on whatever lives inside you: anxiety, loneliness, envy, anger, grief, and other inconvenient feelings. When we unearth the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden, we can reckon with their powerful undertow and harness their energy to transform our lives for the better.

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.
