Spirituality

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.

I can integrate spirituality into my therapeutic practice to help you explore the deeper aspects of your existence, find personal meaning, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. Understanding that spirituality can significantly influence your mental health, I create a safe, open space for you to explore your spiritual or religious beliefs. Whether you're navigating existential questions, experiencing a spiritual crisis, or seeking spiritual growth, I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, & more.

As a music therapist I specialise in transpersonal archetypal music therapy, a deeply spiritual approach and I work with the Body Nature method, in which we work with the 7 chakras. I also work as an animal communicator and end of life doula.

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.

From a depth psychological orientation spirituality is considered a core ingredient of overall well being. When we are disconnected from our own spiritual center, however that is defined by each of us, we can be more vulnerable to emotional instability, addiction, and depression. While I do not push any particular spiritual agenda, I do invite you to become curious about the spiritual dimension of your life, and how this represent a vital internal resource.

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.

“Why am I here?” “What does it all mean?” These are the big questions, the grist & grit of this wild ride we’re all taking, hurtling on a giant rock through the vast expanse of endless space. Spirituality provides us with a framework through which to explore the “why” of our fleeting existence. By holding an open & non-judgmental space for the exploration of connection to a higher power — be it religion, nature, intellectualism — I support clients to discover their own unique & sacred meaning

If spirituality is important to a client, I find it extremely helpful for healing to incorporate that within the framework of therapy. I believe that spirituality is a personal journey that can create immense impact in people's healing.

I have a passion for helping clients navigate what their own spirituality looks like and how they can incorporate it into their lives. I have experience with helping clients overcome religious trauma and explore and cultivate their own unique connection to themselves and others -- no matter what that looks like. I rely on my own spirituality to guide me in work with clients and offer a warm and open space to explore beliefs and connection to oneself and others!

Clients of all beliefs are welcome, but I have lived experience of being an ex-Catholic for those who may want someone who can relate to their experience. I specialize with clients who have gone through faith transition or are questioning their spirituality or religious identity.

When we recognise that we are not just this body and we connect with something bigger than ourselves, doubts arise. It is in those moments when we need a guide to connect us with specific aspects that help us not to get lost in this journey. As a music therapist I specialise in transpersonal archetypal music therapy, a deeply spiritual approach and I work with the Body Nature method, in which we work with the 7 main chakras. I also work as an animal communicator and end of life doula.

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."

I am passionate about helping folks who have experienced spiritual abuse/religious trauma, are deconstructing deeply held beliefs, or are not-so-simply trying to navigate life and its existential questions in a world full of systemic oppression. I understand first-hand how isolating and disenfranchised these types of experiences can be, and I know it can be even more difficult to find a safe place to seek help through the healing journey.

I approach spirituality from a psychospiritual perspective, combining skills I have learned as a Spiritual Director, Psychotherapist and Coach. I believe in multi-spiritual awareness and where I fall short on knowledge about a particular belief or faith, I am open to learning from you.

Life is inherently spiritual to humans as we wrestle to find meaning in our lives, whether or not we realize it; although we sure feel the symptoms of anxiety, numbness, anger, etc. when we do not find it. This could involve a search for fulfillment, a question of who we are and what we have to offer, how to live morally... The journey is not easy, as it concerns the very fabric of our beings; thankfully, we do not have to journey alone. Here as your wayfinder, let's explore.

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.
