If you're feeling lost or disconnected from yourself and others, or struggling to find meaning and purpose in life, transpersonal counseling might be just what you need. This kind of therapy goes beyond the usual talk therapy and considers the spiritual and transcendent aspects of human experience to help you connect with your true self and find a sense of fulfillment. As a transpersonal counselor with over 25 years of experience in the personal and spiritual development field, I've seen firsthand how this approach can benefit individuals. By integrating the physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual aspects of ourselves, we can create a more complete understanding of who we are and what our purpose in life is. Now, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. Life can be pretty tough sometimes. I've been through some tough stuff myself, including cancer, sexual abuse, bullying, broken relationships, losing my son to Covid-related illness in 2020, and even a period of homelessness while I healed. But it's because of these experiences that I'm uniquely equipped to help you navigate difficult times and explore the shadow sides of life. I have learned what it takes to be resilient, to rise from the ashes like the Phoenix. When we work together, we'll take a whole-person, integrative approach to counseling. We'll look at all aspects of your life, including your physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual health, to help you connect the dots and understand yourself better. Whether you're looking to deepen your spiritual connection, develop healthier relationships, or navigate the grief process, I'm here to support you on your journey. One of the benefits of transpersonal counseling is its emphasis on identity development. Many of us struggle with understanding who we are and our place in the world, and this can lead to feelings of confusion, anxiety, and depression. Through counseling, individuals can explore their identity in a safe and supportive environment and gain a greater understanding of themselves and their purpose in life. Another area I specialize in is evolutionary relationships. Relationships can be a source of great joy, but they can also be a source of pain and conflict. Through transpersonal counseling, individuals can learn to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships based on mutual understanding and respect. We'll explore the ways in which past experiences, beliefs, and behaviors can impact current relationships and work towards developing healthier ways of relating. Lastly, I have extensive experience in grief counseling. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, a job, or a dream, grief can be an incredibly challenging and isolating experience. Through transpersonal counseling, individuals can explore the meaning and purpose behind their grief and find ways to integrate their loss into their life in a meaningful way. It's important to note that I'm a spiritual counselor, not under the regulations of DORA. However, I draw heavily on the work of Carl Jung, a pioneer in transpersonal psychology. Jung believed that exploring both our personal and collective unconscious can lead to greater self-awareness and healing. With this in mind, I'm committed to helping individuals explore all aspects of themselves in order to find healing and a deeper sense of purpose in life. So, if you're ready to explore the deep parts of yourself and find a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life, let's work together to make it happen!
