For those of you who are open to it, the blending of spirituality and psychology can greatly enhance the efficacy of therapy.
There are many philosophies of life that touch upon a power greater than ourselves, and they also teach us just how powerful we each can be.
Transpersonal Psychology, also known as Spiritual Psychology, is a recognized branch of psychotherapy and has been shown to effect vast improvements in the quality of one’s life. I am experienced in incorporating spiritual and metaphysical principles, as well as traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs and values, into the therapeutic process.
Spirituality is about accessing the higher truth within yourself and discovering who you really are. Learning how to tune into yourself and to listen to your own voice of guidance can be extremely healing, not just for your issues at hand, but also for the rest of your life.
I have learned a great deal about new thought and the inner wisdom that it provides, and I have been trained in several effective psycho-spiritual techniques.
I am a Certified Inner Bonding Facilitator and a highly experienced Practitioner for The Work of Byron Katie.
I have enjoyed introducing many of my clients to this innovative way of thinking, and the results have been astounding.
