My focus areas are Trauma, Anxiety, Relationships, Spirituality, Transpersonal, Life Transitions.
Do you ever ask yourself, "who am I?", "what am I here for?", "how shall I live?" If so, you are not alone and you are asking the right questions for healing and living an autonomous, thriving life. Through a multidimensional lens weaving ancient healing practices, spirituality and western psychology, we can discover the answers to these questions. I believe that individuals are capable of transcending limiting beliefs to develop a deep sense of self and consciousness. My practice focus is with adult individuals and couples in a supportive, safe, culturally sensitive environment.

Also, as an ordained minister I work with individuals who are facing matters of spirituality.
I personally don't believe there is an "ideal" client. My "ideal" client is any amazing person who had the courage to walk through the doors, share their story, and work collaboratively to find healing and happiness. That is the ideal client in my humble opinion!

I am a Jungian-oriented psychoanalyst in Western NY. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help get to the root of your problems instead of creating temporary fixes. We will use dreams, archetypes and synchronicities in your life to help create your own unique path toward healing. If you have made your life decisions based on what others want for you, that may have lead you astray from your own innate purpose in the world. When we become awakened to this insight, change becomes possible and your symptoms begin to subside.

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.
