SPIRITUAL INTEGRATION THERAPY IN OAKLAND
Do you have a spiritual practice or participate in medicine journeys?
Spiritual practice can be an important part of growth and awakening.
Yet many people are left with un-integrated states of awareness, or psychological wounds that impede spiritual awakening.

Spiritual practice isn't enough
We are both spiritual and human beings. Or perhaps spiritual beings having a human experience.
Spiritual growth is incomplete if it doesn't include healing the human being.
Many people meditate for years but are plagued by unhealed psychological wounds, or a constant inner critic.
Some people have very deep spiritual and psychological insights during altered states of consciousness, but then don't have the necessary support to integrate those experiences into their lives.

Therapy can support spiritual awakening
It is possible to engage in psychotherapy in a way that will support and complement your spiritual practice.
With the right help, you can feel more settled in your meditation practice, or more able to integrate the insights from altered states of consciousness.
Therapy doesn't have to reinforce old ego stories.
In fact, therapy can help you let go of even more stories. This is because therapy can help you become aware of what happened to you and what the effects were on your psyche. This will help you get clearer on what is ego, so that you can let go of it!

For meditators and spiritual practitioners, I can help you with:
- increasing self-compassion as an antidote to a critical voice that makes sitting difficult
- healing anxiety, depression, and other psychological material that isn't healed by meditation (and can sometimes be made worse!)

- becoming a source of self-compassion and being both the healer and the healed
- using the Enneagram to understand the link between personality types and unintegrated spiritual qualities
- psychological awareness and growth in order to avoid spiritual bypassing
For people who participate in ayahuasca ceremonies, or MDMA or psilocybin therapy, I can help you with:

- understanding group dynamics that can impact ceremonies
- processing bad trips or dark energies
