integral counseling is an integrated approach to care that holds the interconnection within aspects of self. this holistic approach implements therapy that considers care for the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that no individual is limited to just one of these experiences of self. within integral counseling, there is a space held for deepening awareness, creating meaning, and exploring the endless facets of self.

grief can look so many different ways. maybe you have recently had the end of a relationship, you are in the midst of a changing identity, or someone you loved died. maybe you have the grief of what has never come into being. anticipatory grief, complicated grief… it is all welcome here. through the use of story-telling, resourcing, ritual creation, meaning-making, creative practices, and normalization of the wild waves of grief, i am here to guide. i pull from an (almost) life-long relationship with grief, death midwifery workshops, courses, and materials to provide grief therapy. i am comitted to continue advancing my training and education within grief and bereavement counseling for time to come.

gestalt therapy is not very defineabe, but i am happy to share the way i make sense of gestalt. gestalt is being with what is emergent; the here and now, two person therapy, and the expansion of awareness as way to increase choice. this modality offers experiments, parts work, relational care, and somatic work. through my graduate program i took gestalt therapy and advanced gestalt therapy. i am a supervisee of a gestalt therapist, and will be continuing my educational path within this modality framework.

relational integrative psychotherapy pulls from several modalities, and is rooted in the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship. from this, i generally resource and emphasize relational psychoanalysis, humanistic approach, and transpersonal theories. attunement, building trust, and transparency all contribute to relational healing within this framework. this modality is emphasized for clients healing from attachment / developmental trauma.

liberatory transpersonal psychology as a framework recognizes the interconnection of all beings, and with that, emphasizes liberation as essential within the collective. transpersonal therapy is a spiritual framework, and can hold what we may experience as the unseen, indescribable, & unknown. the way i hold this framework is tapping into awareness and magic while asking ourselves; how might we recognize the ways in which spirituality can become more integrated into collective liberation? in this framework, i may offer exploration into your connection with self-liberation, create space for the unseen, offer invitation to calling in ancestors, and inquiry into deepening relationship of the interconnection of life & death.

as a midwife, i was trained with a holistic care framework. this created the root system to all the care i have offered the past decade and for decades to come. holding the sacred container of care for mind, body, & spirit opens us up beyond the westernized (patriarchal, capitalist, white supremacist, & oppressive societal structures) way of being. another significant aspect of my training was emphasizing informed-choice. This means providing individuals with the information, potential outcomes and impacts, and background of an intervention so that when they make a choice, it is as informed as possible. being a midwife taught me a lot about being with others through some of the most painful, intense, and beautiful moments of their lives. being a midwife has strengthened my capacity and ability to hold many experiential layers with presence, attunement, & sacred respect. if you have more questions or inquiry about this, i am always happy to share more.
