Spiritual Counseling Therapist in Venice

Seek Meaning. Heal Deeply. Connect to Something Greater.

In our spiritual counseling sessions, I can help you:

    •    Reconnect with your personal sense of meaning and purpose

    •    Navigate spiritual crisis, doubt, or transformation

    •    Heal from religious trauma, guilt, or dogma

    •    Explore spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, or reflection

    •    Integrate mindfulness, compassion, and presence into everyday life

    •    Process existential anxiety, grief, or feelings of emptiness

    •    Strengthen your inner guidance and connection to something greater

At some point in life, many of us begin asking deeper questions: Why am I here? What truly matters? How do I make sense of pain, loss, or change? Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your spiritual path, healing from religious trauma, or simply searching for greater purpose, spiritual counseling offers a space to explore what spirituality means to you.

As a therapist who honors all spiritual paths—religious or non-religious—I help individuals navigate their spiritual questions, wounds, and awakenings with openness, compassion, and curiosity. You don’t need to have all the answers. This is a space for discovery, connection, and healing.

Whether you follow a specific faith, consider yourself spiritual but not religious, or are simply exploring what you believe, therapy can help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Your soul’s questions are worth listening to. Let’s explore them together—with reverence and respect.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.

What Is Spiritual Counseling?

Spiritual Counseling in Venice focuses on how faith, personal beliefs, and spirituality shape your mental health. While traditional therapy might address surface-level struggles, spiritual counseling explores:

  • Questions about faith transitions or religious deconstruction
  • Finding meaning and living with integrity
  • Aligning your actions with your values
