What You Need to Know About My Approach
My training and work as a guide is designed to promote client-directed self-healing and is only partially influenced by the skills and techniques I bring as a trained professional to the therapist-client relationship. The transformational work I offer is actually more powerfully impacted by the quality of the relationship that develops between myself and my clients. Therefore, along with my toolbox of techniques, approaches and depth of insight, I bring powerfully honed interpersonal skills to my therapeutic relationships that serve to forge a foundational container of deep trust and safety necessary for your desired personal changes to occur.
This, combined with my deep knowledge and faith in your innate capacity for self-healing forms the basis of the work we do together.
My life’s passion has been to integrate knowledge of holistic, transpersonal and eco-psychologies with an intimate understanding of human being’s interconnection with all of life. In other words, in my work with the people I help, I naturally operate from the assumption that when a person comes to me for help complaining of a problem in his or her life, I believe it’s important to look at not only that person’s family system (including possible early life traumatic experiences), but to also consider their presenting troubles and challenges in the context of the cultural and environmental system that they have grown up in, not just the family system.
It’s virtually impossible to escape the traumatic impacts of living in a world culture that is so deeply pathological, dysfunctional, polluted and on the verge of destroying itself, and it would be neglectful not to consider these as critical elements in the process of personal growth and healing.
Because each individual life is inextricably interconnected with and dependent upon the healthy functioning of the systems they exist within, I treat mental, emotional and spiritual challenges from this broader holistic vantage point.
If you read this and the top list (below) gels with you and you don’t resonate so much with the bottom list, then we should talk.
We will work incredibly well together and I can help you see amazing results if…
- You feel stuck, but trust that you have masses of untapped potential lying beneath the surface
- You don’t necessarily know exactly what it is you want or maybe can’t quite articulate it yet, but you’re committed to making whatever it is happen
- You want to move forward while also gaining insight into the deeper workings of your life
- You genuinely want to know what makes you tick and how to motivate yourself
- You really, truly get that there’s more to life than making money, and that you’re open to the possibility of discovering that genuine happiness is born of both desire and action to serve and help others rather than just yourself
- You’re willing and desiring to make the changes necessary to reach your goals
- You’re hungry for change, healing and growth
- You’re interested in learning about yourself from a truly holistic perspective
- You’re keen to learn and eager to try new things out
- You’re not afraid of your fear of seeing reality for what it is.
We probably won’t be a great fit if…
- You have serious commitment issues
- You’re looking for a silver bullet or to have someone magically take your pain away
- You’re not interested in understanding your life from a holistic perspective
- You’re afraid of your fear of seeing reality for what it is.
