Spirituality

Spirituality and soul-centered work offer profound and powerful ways of creating meaning and purpose in this embodied human life. These modalities offer ways to connect to and expand capacity for the great mystery of existence. I am a life-long spiritual seeker and have found various spiritual practices and philosophies, such as Yoga, astrology, mythology, and deep reverence and ceremony for the cycles of the moon and seasons.

Spirituality is not synonymous with religion. It is the intentional practice of conscious awareness that our existence transcends our physical body and influences the existence of all that surrounds us. Growing as spiritual beings leads us to open our mind and heart to trust our intuitive wisdom that our body sensations gift us daily, so that we may be in constant connection with our true purpose in order to thrive in all that we are and all that we do.

I enjoy working with clients around their spiritual needs and development. As a Reiki practitioner and someone that is personally interested in spirituality, I love walking beside people as they continue their spiritual growth. There is no right or wrong way to practice spirituality as long as it's benefiting you and not harming others. I also take a very grounded approach to spirituality and love working with people that are just starting to become interested in this aspect of their life.

Spirituality can be a great source of significant strength, support, and peace. Alternatively, spirituality can be a source of much pain, marginalization, and trauma. I am experienced with considering faith as an important factor in exploring the intersection of various life domains and concerns, and with helping clients consider their relationship with spirituality as they navigate identity development, life transitions, etc.

I am, at my core, a non-denominational spiritual counselor. Whatever your belief system is, we can harness it to create meaning in your life. Ritual doesn't have to be dogmatic, scary, or even take itself too seriously. A ritual is simply a repetitious act created with a specific intention in mind. I help clients create rituals to bring them closer to spirit, moving them through guided visualization, movement practices & mindfulness to help them reach their goals.

In my practice, I integrate mindfulness, somatic practices, and client-centered exploration to honor the intersection of spirituality and the mind-body connection in sexuality. Through compassionate inquiry and tailored interventions, I help individuals cultivate awareness, acceptance, and connection with their bodies, enhancing their sexual well-being and overall sense of wholeness.

Spiritual therapy allows clients to incorporate important beliefs and practices into their therapeutic journey. My clients range from religiously identified (as Christian, Mormon, Jewish, Muslim, etc) to woo-woo. I also help my clients who are recovering from harmful religious experiences untangle their life now from religious teachings and communities that shame you and stunt you from developing your own identity. If you are spiritually curious, this may be the right place for you!

I minored in religion while at Florida State University and I find that using someone's spiritual beliefs can be a strength in their recovery. Our belief system has an impact not only on our feelings and behaviors, but also on our thoughts, self-identity, and awareness. My hope is to help you focus in on your spiritual goals, by coming to terms with the past, gaining skills in the present, and visualizing a better tomorrow.

There is a deeper approach available at the intersection of psychology and spirituality that addresses suffering at the root... identity. For those interested in seeing the nature and effect of ongoing identity formation in order to cut suffering at the root, the coaching arm of my practice may be a wonderful option. Also, if you are approaching or have had non-dual realization I can support integration and shadow work. I like to affectionately call this "accessing your inner guru."

Spirituality is complex. It lives in how we experience life in its highs and lows, spirit carries us in to heavens and below in the depths. Its my work to ground your spiritual self with your body and to find it's integration your life. Without grounding spirits run too high or too low. When grounded within integration our spirit becomes a fountain of life giving energy and purpose.

I have training in energy healing work and individual and relationship astrology that I can bring into sessions per request. As an energy sensitive person, I support others to create energetic boundaries, connect to and strengthen their intuition, and clear their energy and limiting patterns. I welcome all religious and spiritual backgrounds.

I specialize in working with folks who have a history of religious trauma. I also work with folks in integrating spirituality into their healing.

I have a long-held interest in working in the area of spirituality and enjoy working with clients who are well-established in their own spiritual journeys or those who may have trouble connecting with this part of their lives for varying reasons.

Many clients report feeling more connected to themselves when they feel more connected to their spirituality. I enjoy working with people who find their spirituality is important to them. I explore these beliefs with clients, and include them in their treatment, when clients feel it useful. My background is especially suited for people who subscribe to eastern spiritual beliefs, but I can also work with those aligned with western beliefs.

I recognize that spirituality is a vital part of many people’s lives and can significantly influence well-being. Whether you’re exploring your beliefs, facing challenges related to faith, or seeking to integrate spirituality into your healing journey, I offer supportive and respectful guidance. My background allows me to appreciate diverse spiritual perspectives, and I’m here to help you navigate your spiritual concerns in a meaningful way.

I guide clients in exploring spirituality through a holistic lens that incorporates psychedelic integration, altered states, and somatic practices. Whether processing plant medicine journeys or exploring inner landscapes, I offer a safe, grounded space to make meaning of these experiences. My approach honors the transformative potential of spiritual exploration, helping you integrate profound insights, connect with your authentic self, and foster a deeper sense of purpose.

Are you wrestling with mental health and faith? How do you bring faith into conquering anxiety? You want more than just symptom relief; you seek to cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and emotional resilience that harmonizes with your faith. There's more to mental health than just "praying it away". I offer a compassionate, faith-integrated approach to counseling that focuses on both practical strategies and spiritual guidance. I also love working with those with different faith backgrounds.

During our time together, we will explore beliefs and practices related to meaning, existence, and spiritual health and healing. I often speak about spirituality in terms of the Universe and our connection to ourselves and the connection to something larger than ourselves. I will support you in exploring what your unique sense of spirituality means to you.
