Approach

There are so many approaches to growth and healing out there, it’s dizzying!  I’d like to suggest that it isn’t about trying to find “The Best” method, but about finding the method that’s right for you.

Over my nearly 15 years as a psychotherapist, I’ve had extensive training and experience working from various well-established models.

I am skilled in these approaches, and while I know from my work that they can be helpful, it has been my experience that they do not directly address the central question of meaning.  My purpose as a therapist and coach is to offer a guide for flourishing— for coming wholeheartedly alive.  I want the work to beckon you into that position of Bliss, where you know at your center that you are fully engaged in the life you were born to live.

I believe that the path to a wholehearted existence begins with attuning to one’s soul – the heart’s deep core – and living from that irreplaceable wisdom.  I’m here to facilitate that connection to your soul, which is the beginning of everything.

Are you imaginative, intuitive, poetic, creative, at home in metaphor?

Are you yearning for meaning?  Unsatisfied with the status quo?  Questing for true vocation?  Craving heartfelt connections?  Seeking peace for your body?  Hungry for a message from your soul?

If reading this sparks something in recognition – or longing – then this just might be the approach for you.

So, how DOES a SoulFull approach work?
What does it actually look like?

My work emerges from the field of Depth Psychology, which calls our attention to the wisdom and meaning that lie below the surface of conscious awareness (think Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, Marion Woodman).

Working from soul can open up the way through our most frustrating stuck places: Relationship distress, creative block, emotional wounds, dissatisfaction with the body, spiritual crisis, unfulfilling career, obstacles to consistent self-care…

These areas, despite our massive conscious effort to change, often need to be approached on a radically different level. 

Most approaches to growth and healing enlist the mind without even inviting the soul to the table.  And yet, the soul carries native wisdom about our healing and our purpose, if we listen.

I bring a very empathic and relational approach to psychotherapy and coaching.  My most important task is to listen carefully to where you’ve been and collaborate with you about where you want to go.  I bring grounded experience and expertise, but I am going to be as surprised as you are by the wisdom your soul has to share!

In addition to traditional talk therapy or coaching, I integrate the following practices, as you are interested.

If you have any questions or would like to set up a free 10 – 30 minute phone consultation to explore whether we might be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I would be honored to take the journey with you!

Soulfully,
