My Approach to Helping
Are you on the journey of becoming your true self? Do you seek to heal depression and anxiety systemically from the root cause? Do you seek to actualize your soul purpose? Do you struggle with making decisions and trusting yourself? Are you an empath, a highly sensitive person (HSP), and/or a creative type seeking healing? Do you hold a negative self-image? Are you having issues in your close relationships or in developing connections? Do you suffer from loneliness or social anxiety? Do you feel stuck? Do you need to heal past trauma? Are you in a dark night of the soul? Do you want to integrate your shadow and heal your attachment wounds?
My approach focuses on transpersonal healing and transforming from the inside out using a holistic perspective that bridges the spiritual aspect of the soul with the psychological aspect of the ego. I see my healing style as being a true self and life transition doula.
I am direct, analytical, and rooted in a deeply intuitive, empathic connection with you. I also bring humor and inspiration to the session.
I believe therapy is not about fixing problems but about being on a lifelong journey of healing and becoming the true self.
Attachment healing is core. Experiencing a secure sense of self is rooted in a healthy ego that gets formed under age seven by how we are raised. This happens in the neural pathways of the brain. Most of us did not develop a healthy ego but this can be healed. We can develop new neural pathways which translate as feeling self-love, self-worth, reduced anxiety, and building secure relationships.
Did you know that 90% of healing happens in the relationship between therapist and client? Finding the right therapist is vital because of the connection, above all else.
I use an eclectic blend of transpersonal, depth archetypal, Internal Family Systems (IFS) (parts work), attachment theory, family systems, mindfulness, and soul work stemming from ancient wisdom and practices. I am adept and experienced with using tarot and astrology as therapeutic tools to unearth the soul and reveal the unconscious. We may dive into past lives, and starseed lives, and work with your angels, ancestors, guides, and loved ones on the other side.
Parts work and depth psychology rooted in the ancient shamanic wisdom that stuck aspects of self need to be acknowledged in the shadow, integrated with the conscious self and returned to the present time to heal from trauma and fragmentation of the self. Positive aspects and gifts of the self may also live in the shadows and need to be brought to light as many of us over-identify with our wounded selves.
Jung called this work the individuation process. It is the process of becoming your true self. This is the crux of the healing path when working with me.
What you need for healing is unique and I attune specifically to you. We can get as metaphysical as you desire or stick with psychotherapeutic modalities.
Transpersonal healing is about connecting with the living Universe beyond ego in a personal heart-centered way. We may collaborate on developing this connection and I can provide spiritual healing tools to help you on the path.
I offer solid pragmatic psychological tools to help heal anxiety or complex post-traumatic stress (CPTSD), build communication skills, and develop mind-body awareness and foundational self-care practices.
