Spiritual Integrated Therapy looks at how your belief-systems create a foundation for how you are functioning on an existential and eschatological view point. In other words. What do you believe happens when you die? Have you been spiritually abused? Escaping cults, conversation therapy or child trafficking? Spiritually Integrated therapy unravels the trauma wounds associated with other's beliefs that seek to control, demand, degrade or belittle your body, gender or way of life.
Since time immemorial, humans have cultivated spiritual practices to heal, to be in community and to honour our place within a larger world. The scientific revolution and the "enlightenment" served to denigrate religion and spirituality to mere superstition. Modern day psychiatry has gone as far as to medicalize religious experiences involving altered states of consciousness.
These beliefs and practices have roots in the collective unconscious and serve a very deep and meaningful purpose.

I was trained in a spiritual psychotherapy program; and I understand how spirituality is such an important part of our lives. I would be honoured to help you to explore your spiritual path on your journey of self realization.

Spirituality revolves around your sense of purpose and meaning. Your unique beliefs and aspirations are respected and affirmed as you embark on your healing journey in your preferred manner. Our mutual aim is to reinforce and nurture your healthy beliefs and desires.
Faith and spirituality are a journey of self-exploration and meaning making which can sometimes be difficult to do alone. I can help explore faith and spirituality as well as ways of incorporating them into modern life and self-betterment. To aid in this process I incorporate my own experience growing up in the Christian Orthodox faith tradition and my experience finishing a master's in counselling and spirituality at St. Paul University.
