I welcome adult individuals to meet with me for consultation. The quality of relationship between client and therapist has a big impact on the quality of work that takes place, so it's important for each of us to decide if we are a good fit.
Some situations can be addressed with short-term therapy (3-6 sessions), while others benefit from a longer commitment to therapeutic work.
It is your right to have information about the recommended duration of treatment, so I will work with you to establish treatment goals within the first three sessions.
All psychotherapy sessions and their content are completely confidential, aside from a few, rare exceptions which I will present should the need arise.
My treatment mode is eclectic, borrowing from several schools of thought and technique:
Existential Therapy
finding and experiencing meaning, purpose, and freedom in order to heal underlying dysfunction
Person-Centered
rooted in the client’s experience, draws on and reinforces client’s existing strength and skill
Mindfulness
practice of increasing awareness of body, mind, and spirit in order to enhance engagement with inner states of being
Nature-based
engaging with the natural world for clues, experiences, and connection that deepen well-being
Depending on your tradition, temperament, and preferences, spiritual direction sessions may include:
-
dialogue
-
silence
-
prayer
-
artwork
-
postures/movement
-
discussion and contemplation of sacred texts
-
meditation
-
recommendations for experiences, practices, or reading.
All spiritual direction sessions and their content are completely confidential, aside from a few, rare exceptions which I will present should the need arise.
Spiritual direction is intended to support the spiritual journey, taking place primarily one-on-one, once a month (may occasionally meet more or less frequently, depending on your circumstances).
The spiritual journey is one way to find meaning in life, to connect personal actions to this meaning, and to learn spiritual discernment.
You may benefit from spiritual direction if you are seeking deeper meaning and connection in your religious practice, are experiencing a life transition or are making a big decision, or are seeking guidance for your spiritual journey.
