Therapy for Spiritual Questions
IN-PERSON IN LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY & ONLINE
A safe space for spiritual questions
For many women, their faith and spiritual practices bring meaning and purpose to their lives. But for others, things have started to feel complicated and difficult.
Something is emerging that you can't quite name and this uncertainty can lead to irritability, frustration and resentment.
You may feel confused by shifting beliefs, angry and saddened by a loss of trust, or be facing the realization that you've inherited a faith that no longer works for you. You carry grief over places that once felt like home.
Carrying spiritual questions asks that you walk gently as you safely explore changing beliefs, new rhythms and forms of spiritual expression.
Along the way, you might discover a greater connection to creativity, nature or a new community, finally finding language and a framework to make sense of your emerging longings.
The result is a spirituality that holds the full range of your experience, leaving you feeling more human, more at peace, more connected and more clear about who you are and what matters to you.

Spiritual Abuse & Religious Trauma
Abuse ruptures us in ways that make it difficult to feel at home in our bodies and communities of faith. The result is often deep disorientation, disconnection and pain.
For many, we dissociate and numb ourselves so that we can continue to be a part of places that once felt safe. Or we leave, feeling angry and adrift.
Thoughtful attention to spiritual abuse and religious trauma requires trauma- and spiritually integrated care that respects your unique experience.
This is different from a counseling approach that focuses on religious belief and theology, which is often called biblical counseling, and is not a part of my practice.
If you're carrying spiritual questions and longings or the pain of spiritual abuse, please reach out or schedule a time for us to get acquainted and talk about your concerns.
