“Each of us carries a unique spark of the Divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.”
– Viktor Frankl
Often clients want assurance that their religious perspectives will be respected or desire to incorporate their religious beliefs into our therapeutic approach. Other clients express holding a heavy spiritual struggle or having endured a spiritually-related trauma. I’ve supported many clients in these categories, coming from a diverse range of faith backgrounds.
Many clients appreciate contemplative, philosophical framing mixed with active psychotherapeutic interventions. I’ve had the privilege of supporting a high concentration of clients who’ve studied philosophy and theology; and for therapy to be most effective and meaningful an engagement of their views on the human condition, deeply held values and faith-related perspectives is desired.
My psychotherapeutic approach recognizes our human capacity to honor the gifts of interior freedom and transformative growth, the therapeutic merit of self-transcendence as one heals through pain.
