Intuitive Soul Based Therapy

I can share with you different grounding tools to help support you in your growth and journey, deepening and supporting your sense of self and regulation into something bigger than you. Grounding includes various techniques to bring you – your thoughts, emotions and somatic sensations – into the present moment. Grounding can help regulate experiences such as anxiety, distressing thoughts and emotions, and flashbacks. It can help you tune into your present time knowingness.

These are tools to bring all of you into the present moment. I view meditation as a mindfulness practice, but almost anything can be a mindfulness practice. I don’t think meditation is for everyone, but mindfulness is. A mindfulness practice can include things like brushing your teeth – and only brushing your teeth. Not brushing your teeth while putting your laundry away or making your morning coffee. We know mindfulness helps regulate your nervous system to a state where you feel can feel good, calm and/or neutral. Please keep in mind, if you’ve experienced trauma, you may need to go slowly with a mindfulness practice. I can help you figure this out.

Transpersonal therapy aims to include your spiritual self to improve your overall quality of life. We’ll talk about your orientation to spirituality and how that lives in your daily life. This can include your sense of connection to something bigger than yourself, what is sacred to you, how you practice spirituality, and how to connect with your own curious soul-based self. We will use your unique spiritual perspectives to help support you on your journey.

We’ll dive into explorations of what intuition means to you, how you access your intuitive self (if at all), and ways to support and/or improve that connection to your intuition. We’ll also explore how to discern between your intuitive voice and other parts that may be fear based and cloud the connection with your intuition.

Our sessions together will include your entire being, and all the parts of you. No need to leave out your curiosity and understanding about spirituality, energy and intuition; and I get to do the same. I’ll bring all these parts of me into our work together. We can talk, experiment and play with your thoughts, somatic sensations and information, your spiritual understanding and intuitive knowingness to guide our work together.

I will bring my innate curiosity to our sessions together to explore your spiritual truths. What do you believe? Where did these beliefs originate? Are there beliefs you’d like to deconstruct and deprogram so you can live with more freedom and choice to align to your present time state of mind and growth? All of this and more can be explored in our work together. This can be helpful to bring into the individual as well as the relationship spaces, if partners are interested in exploring this together.

You may have heard the phrase, “everything is energy,” and it is! We are energetic beings. We are able to feel our own and others’ energy. This is often overlooked or trained out of us. Many of us in American culture only live in our heads, and do not tune into the information we receive constantly from our bodies that are always tracking and feeling our and others’ energy. Have you ever walked into a room as two people are arguing, or sitting in punitive silence? You can feel it! You could cut the tension with a knife. This is your energy awareness. In our work together, we’ll explore if/how you currently tune into yours and others’ energy. We’ll explore how to utilize your energy awareness to support your therapeutic work, find ways to help you shift your energy, and ways to release others’ energy so you have more freedom to find your truths.

This is for clients who feel all the feels, have been told their too sensitive and/or already know they’re an empathic being and are looking for support and boundary work. I believe we’re all empathic beings, some of us more so than others. We will work to utilize the superpower of your empathy by recognizing the ways it serves you to feel others’ energy and emotions, while also creating and/or maintaining boundaries so you have the energetic space you need to be you! If you’re bogged down with others’ emotions, it can be challenging to know what you want, who you are, and what would best serve you.

Post traumatic growth (PTG) is transformational growth after experiencing trauma(s). It is a theory that explains that people who endure psychological and/or spiritual struggle following adversity/trauma can often see positive growth afterward. Those experiencing PTG often notice a new appreciation of life, positive changes in relationship with others, new possibilities in life, personal strength and spiritual change. In our work together, we’ll hold in mind the possibility of PTG and how spirituality may be an additional puzzle piece to help you grow.
