Psychotherapy and Spiritual Counseling
I believe that each person is the expert of their own story and that my job is simply to help steady the lamp, so that your Light can shine.
Anxiety and Depression
Whether your mind is moving too fast or too slow, anxiety and depression are often rooted in a sense of feeling stuck, trapped by the enormity of the challenge at hand. Sometimes slowly, and sometimes through moments of “wow!” we will work together to uncover and “un-stuck” you from the behavior and thought patterns that are no longer serving you.
Addiction
Often termed “the disease of more,” the addictive process can latch onto just about any substance or behavior. Together, we will help you to identify and free yourself from the addictive patterns that have taken control of your life, while helping to uncover and truly fulfill what your soul has been craving all along.
Trauma, Grief, and Loss
Working through a traumatic event or difficult loss can feel insurmountable. Gently, and at your own pace, we will work to integrate these difficult events into the larger picture of your life, empowering you to move forward and reclaim your most joyful and fulfilled self.
Life Transitions
As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus says, “the only thing constant in life is change.” Shifting into a new role or stage of life can feel destabilizing, and downright scary. By working through the practical and existential challenges at hand, you will emerge ready and will the tools needed to ride the waves of change with ease and grace.
LGBTQ+ Issues
Coming to a place of understanding, acceptance, and love of one’s identity can be a challenge. Sharing that truth with others can be an even greater one. I am honored to help you on this journey of self-discovery, and to help you live your most proud and authentic life, inside and out.
Family Therapy
Either integrated into individual therapy, or on its own, family therapy can help to tease apart dysfunctional communication patterns and set appropriate and healthy boundaries. By listening with a curious mind and an open heart, we can work to help all parts of the family system feel heard and respected, thereby leading to a healthier, stronger, and more cohesive whole.
Spiritual Counseling
Interweaving the emotional and spiritual can help you reach greater and deeper levels of healing, in all worlds. While my personal background and area of expertise is in the Jewish community, addressing halakhic and cultural concerns alike, I am happy to work with individuals of all backgrounds, faith traditions, and spiritual ideologies, or lack thereof. The balance of psychological and spiritual focus and intervention will depend entirely on your needs and desires, and may shift from session to session.
We are often under the impression that religion and therapy are opposing forces, and I personally believe that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Whether you are searching for help connecting to your particular religion in a more psychospiritually meaningful way, or you’d like to learn about and adopt general spiritual principles, I am here to help you discover, reclaim, or enhance your relationship with the Divine as your journey unfolds.
