Transitions from one life stage to another can be challenging. Anxiety, depression or feeling 'stuck' can get in the way of achieving ones goals and aspirations. Overcoming the obstacles that may be interfering with those goals is a primary focus of therapy. I have worked extensively with individuals who are struggling with understanding what is getting in the way of their success, which include emotional roadblocks, inattention, focus, purpose and identity. I have had extensive experience with young and older adults struggling with separation, executive functioning disorder and post career transitions.

We seek psychological guidance when life doesn't go the way we think it should or want. Sadness, fear, anxiety, anger and confusion, often cloud our hearts and minds. We tell ourselves what should be, not how it is. This build-up of unsaid feelings, pressures and negative thoughts, commonly experienced as self-judgment, keeps us from living a joyful, balanced life. The Individual and Group therapies I've designed are dedicated toward mindful awareness of, and ease with life's daily challenges. I seek to create safety and freedom for exploration of your unique truth in body, mind and soul.

When you walk into my office, we will explore the roadblocks in your life that keep you from moving forward, and make a plan for getting past them.

The journey of life is one filled with joy, happiness, sadness, disappointments, loss and renewal. I feel my goal as a psychologist is to enable a child, adolescent, young adult, and adult find the strength to review life's troubling issues and form new perceptions which enables different outlooks on problems. I feel the only problems in life are situations that can not be resolved. Many times the resolutions are not what we thought life would offer us, but that is what we have.

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.
