“If you don't know who you truly are, you'll never know what you really want.”
― Roy T. Bennett



Are you someone who often molds themselves to fit in with the expectations of others? Do you find yourself switching between different personas depending on the people you're with or the environment you're in?


Do you ever feel like you're made up of different "parts" that each have their own desires and needs? When you mention "a part of me thinks..." or "a part of me wants..." to a friend, how many different parts are you referring to? Do these parts ever clash?


Do you have an Inner Critic or Inner Child living within your mind? Do they reside in the Shadows?


Are you defined by the various roles you play throughout the day? What happens if these roles suddenly vanish or are no longer necessary? Who are you then?


Do you feel a connection to a Higher Self, True Self, or Wise Self? What does this connection mean to you? Is this "Self" an internal or external force, or both?


If you're grappling with any of these questions, you might want to explore them further during your Spiritually Integrative Psychotherapy sessions.

ANXIETY & DEPRESSION





“Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.” ― Tara Brach



Experiencing depression and anxiety does not always indicate a mental disorder. Instead, it can serve as a wake-up call to examine our beliefs and live a more authentic life.


When we base our decisions on the expectations of others and compromise our values, we stray from our true selves. This can result in depression and anxiety, which should not be treated as disorders, but rather as signs urging us to build a life that aligns with our authentic selves.


Integrative Psychotherapy aims to delve deeper into these emotions, rather than simply attempting to eliminate them. By trusting the therapy process and confronting painful emotions, one can feel more self-empowered, confident, and compassionate towards oneself and others.


It is essential to remember that psychiatric and mental health treatments may be medically necessary if these feelings significantly impact the quality of your life.


Spiritually Integrative psychotherapy may not be suitable for everyone.

~ Haruki Murakami



crisis, loss, grief





“All great spirituality is about what we do with our pain. If we do not transform our pain, we will transmit it to those around us.”— Richard Rohr, Franscican Monk




Have you heard of "Post Trauma Growth?


It's a term used to describe the positive psychological changes that can occur as a result of struggling with highly challenging and stressful life circumstances. This shift in thinking and relating to the world and oneself can be deeply meaningful.


If you are going through a traumatic event, loss, or highly stressful crisis, Spiritually Integrative Psychotherapy (SIP) can help with the process of post-trauma growth and post-loss growth.


SIP recognizes that not everyone who goes through a traumatic event will develop a disorder like Post Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD). Instead, our emotional, physical, and spiritual responses to trauma are seen as a natural process that our brains are meant to go through.


In my capacity as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I recognize that some individuals may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and in such instances, seeking psychiatric-mental health treatment is essential. As a responsible LMHC, part of my duty involves evaluating my clients to ascertain if they are dealing with a mental health condition. If they are, it is my obligation to direct them to a mental health professional who can provide them with the assistance they require.



Addictions & Compulsive behaviors





“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.”― Carl Gustav Jung



Sometimes people turn to things like drugs, gambling, or sex to deal with tough emotions like anxiety or sadness. Still, those things can end up making things worse instead of better.


If you're struggling with addiction, getting help from a professional specializing in addiction and mental health is crucial. While it might not be the best idea to try integrating different types of therapy at first, it can be beneficial once you're feeling more stable and ready to work on your recovery.





“It’s not about getting rid of the ego,
it’s about making the ego as light as possible,
so it can easily be moved.”
― Drasen





PSYCHEDELIC INDUCED MYSTICAL/SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES





Regarding the non-medical use of psychedelics, I maintain a neutral stance. However, it's evident that a growing number of individuals, regardless of factors such as age, education level, socio-economic status, gender, or race, are experimenting with psychedelics for recreational purposes. It seems that people from all walks of life are becoming increasingly curious and finding enjoyment in these experiences.


When using psychedelics recreationally, you may have profound experiences, maybe even spiritual ones. If you do not have a trusted person to process your experience, can help you to get grounded, integrate, and process the experience. I can help you develop a harm-reduction plan for safer use if you intend to continue using.


Psychedelics are a group of drugs that includes LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and ketamine, along with natural psychedelic plants like psilocybin mushrooms, peyote, and ayahuasca. The primary aspect of the psychedelic experience is the sensation of not being the center of attention, which can lead to a feeling of freedom, enthusiasm, and even transformative experiences. Users often describe experiencing egolessness, where they feel connected to the universe as a whole.


Research has shown that 60% of individuals who use this experience for the first-time report having a "complete mystical experience". They describe feeling a sense of unity with everything, transcending time and space, gaining insight into the ultimate nature of reality, and experiencing profound and indescribable emotions like joy, peace, and love.


It is crucial to recognize that individuals who have undergone psychedelic trips may need to process negative emotional experiences in a secure setting with a neutral and trained individual.
