Integrative
Counseling
Therapy

Through our work, we will aim to develop increased integration of Self, capacity to align with inner health principles, depth of intimacy in relationship, authentic expression of creativity and role of service from the inside out.

Life is our teacher.

In our practice, even our pains and problems are seen as doorways, showing us the pathway to come back home to our wholeness. As stuck or tangled places are healed, we discover inner guidance and flow and create greater opportunities. In our work, we’ll meet the challenges and opportunities of real life to grow and heal. You can expect our container to always be compassionate, non-judgmental, and honest.

My work is primarily based in transpersonal psychotherapy and methods including eco-psychology, psychosynthesis / Internal Family Systems parts work, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Hakomi somatic (body-oriented) psychotherapy. I further draw from many years of studies in Traditional Amazonian Spirituality and Healing, Ashtanga and Prajna Yoga, and Spiritual Inquiry (The Diamond Approach).  For more details of my education and path, see here.

Therapeutic

Specialties

I specialize in supporting people dealing with:

  • Preparation for integration of expanded state experiences

  • Life transitions and rites of passage

  • Healing developmental trauma

  • Enhancing a sense of personal empowerment

  • Feelings of depression and disconnection

  • Healing from grief and heartbreak

All our wounds
can be doorways
to wisdom.

As each person learns how to live more aligned with their authenticity, we restore balance and open possibilities for the individual and collective. I see each individual’s journey as a part of our collective transformation towards a spiritually just, socially equitable, and ecologically regenerative world.

How We Work

You are a vibrant living system woven into the larger systems all around you. Therefore, when we work together we address the balance of your whole system – the body, mind, heart and spirit, and your relationships to the all.

We will first do an assessment and set intentions and outcomes for our work based on what you tell me verbally or nonverbally. I may recommend for you embodiment practices, new habits and rituals, dietary changes and herbal remedies, new growth challenges, and we'll determine a course of sessions.

During our sessions, we learn to listen to the body, breath, and sensations to help identify and untangle deep limiting beliefs based on life experiences and traumas so that you can reclaim your empowerment, agency, and freedom.  We also learn to explore your inner world through your dreams and meditations, opening a journey of self-discovery and ongoing growth.

Our work may not look like standard therapy, sitting in a chair and talking about your past. We may engage in active imagination, shamanic journeying, guided meditations, movement and yoga, relational games, and play. For those interested, we will go outside and work with the natural world as our ally.

Everything is welcome when we work together – every part of you, every feeling, every fear, sorrow, and celebration. 

Start the Journey

Sessions are 60-90 minutes and can be done in-person or over Zoom.

  • During a counseling session, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where we work together to address your concerns and promote personal growth.

  • Yes, I offer most of the counseling sessions over zoom. Following your consultation, we'll make a personalized plan for how we’ll work together.

  • Returning clients are welcome to ‘drop-in’ with me for single sessions.

    Most clients will schedule sessions with me every 2 weeks for 3 months. Then we will re-assess what is needed and beneficial to your overall goals.

    If it serves your reason for coming, we may schedule weekly sessions.

  • I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows me to accommodate other clients who may be waiting for an appointment. Clients will be charged for cancelling appointments with less than 24 hours notice.
