_My approach to psychotherapy is eclectic and integral. One that includes mind, body and spirit; as well as the living community, natural world and universe of which we each are part of.   It is eclectic in that it is based on the influence of a variety of theoretical maps and experiential modalities.  And integral, in that I seek to integrate practices from ancient and contemporary therapeutic arts. Working with such a broad pallet allows me great flexibility in my work, and gives me the ability to meet each unique situation with compassion and creativity.

One of the central concepts I hold as a therapist is the notion of soul retrieval  -finding the lost or unknown parts of ourselves and calling them back home into wholeness. When we retrieve lost parts of ourselves,  we gain full access to all of who we are, and from this place, we become free to connect to 'self', other and spirit.  Through the awakening of our creative self, we are empowered to transform our stories and recreate new images in our lives.  While the formation of soul can be a process that shreds every known part of our being into pieces, sometimes in chaotic and unexpected ways, it also has the potential to open us up to a deeper authenticity and fullness of being.

I see my role as a therapist as an attendant or midwife of the soul.  Just like an acorn holds the entire genetic pattern of the oak tree, I believe each of us hold within us the potential for our full unfoldment.  Through the language of creativity, a faculty to all human beings, and the process of art making, my clients get to participate in their own healing, giving voice to the language of their own psyche.  This deeply engaging process is supported and held in a safe, permission-giving and sacred container. It is  guided from within, not imposed from without.  I value the therapeutic container as a non judgmental space of permission and full expression of what my clients bring.

I deeply value the therapeutic relationship as a process of co-creation.  By this I mean client and therapist both co-create the space in which soul work happens.  A space in which we can peel off the layers in need of releasing, and open to new places of discovery and understanding.
