Spirituallity is important to some people specifically, but we all have a background understanding of why we are here and what the purpose of life is. It can be critical to connect to that larger meaning to understand the unexplored spiritual decisions we are making. Often people arrive in a spiritual crisis and they need to be given permission to explore what is happening to them without judgement or pressure. Sometimes other will simply feel that something is lacking in their lives and want more depth and purpose. Both approaches are welcome.
I work individuals and families who are dealing with the effects of coercive control in religious contexts, or spiritual abuse. I also work with people exploring spiritual and religious identities.
Whether you would like to explore beliefs and practices related to meaning and existence or if you struggle with integrating your beliefs with other aspects of your life, my goal is support and guide you through answering questions about how you make meaning.

Clients learn that true spirituality is not just feeling positive or an otherworldly identification, but a deep embodiment of being fully present, here and now - in one's body first. Learning somatic body awareness as a gateway to underlying and disowned parts of oneself. Bringing compassionate self acceptance to core wounds and traumas - lost and disowned parts of the psyche - for true integration. This process heals by opening the heart- which is the key channel to one's core, Divine Self. Email for free consultation call
After a decade in private practice, Dr. Rhodes' new practice was born after her transformational spiritual journey (which involved yoga working with goddesses of the Venus lineage, and learning about the spirit world studied by medical professionals in the UK).
While Dr. Rhodes is trained in "evidence based" practices related to the field of relationship science, she uses her intuition to help you find your own path.
Whether you have a spirituality, religion, or not we all have a special gift inside of us! Whether you need to find it, or strengthen it. Your subconscious mind is a very powerful place, with imagery and hypnosis we can explore the specialities you were created with. Finding a purpose, making a decision, innerstading you and others. The path within is the most sacred we’ve been gifted.
We are open to all forms of spirituality and are interested in how we can support you by including your spiritual practices and beliefs as part of your therapy.
