Holistic Counseling

Intention:

I understand well the polarity of living in both realities be it pain and suffering or love and joy. Both provide great opportunities for learning and growth, but it is the journey of joy that I find has the ability to liberate the soul.

My intention here is to provide you with an offering of assistance upon that journey through my abilities in counseling.

My purpose when working with you is to help you come to understand the root of the issue and assist by providing tools, perspectives, and guidance towards creating a more peaceful way of life where you can begin to feel what it’s like to fully live.

 

Views On Healing:

Harder not to heal than it is to heal:
I have found that it is much harder not to heal than it is to begin healing.

Without the presence of healing it is like carrying around a large sack of heavy rocks. With healing we work towards removing each rock having whatever burdens us becoming lighter. The lighter we become the easier it is to navigate and thus celebrate our journey through life.

 

Healing in totality:
It is my philosophy that every issue or challenge can be understood and healed in totality.

There is no reason that whatever traumatic experiences you’ve encountered have to haunt you for all of eternity.

You have a choice to make, keep holding on, or simply forgive and let go. Making that choice to let go is allowing yourself to stop reliving the past and to begin moving forward with your present now moment and onward into the creation of a more peaceful future.

 

What I Have To Offer:

Philosophy:
At the core of my being I am a poet and a philosopher. For me, the meaning of poetry is to allow, through communication, the presence of spirit as being an active participant in our creations throughout life. As for philosophy, I am constantly exploring philosophic thought in order to discover ways in which our minds can create more truthful and liberating approaches to living.

I often use philosophy with my clients to present different ways of thinking. In most cases a simple change of perspective can transform whether we experience our lives through the lens of pain or through joy.

One of my abilities is to help assist you to see things differently. To see and understand ways in which you can incorporate more pathways to expressing your inner truth and freedom.

 

Healer:
A healer is someone who is constantly working towards healing themselves.

This is a commitment I have made within my own journey through life. Whatever is unhealed within me is welcome to surface on my own individual pathway of healing. This is my core intent of life, to continuously be working on myself in order to be of greater service towards my fellow humanity.

 

Confidentiality:
This is a given in most all practices but one that I feel is helpful to mention. Each session I have with you is upheld with the respect of confidentiality. That means whatever is discussed or shared within each session is to be held in a space that is considered to be sacred.

Revealing the inner workings of ourselves can be at times uncomfortable as we open into our vulnerability. Therefore, in order to uphold my own integrity, I vow to maintain a safe space that is in honor of your confidentiality.

Whatever is spoken about within a session remains between you and I. Trust is an essential component to my practice. In order to develop a deeper connection upon the path of healing, it is important to me that you feel you can trust me.

 

Intuition:
Intuition is one of our most powerful tools we can use in navigating our lives. During a session with you I will often use my intuition to assist in our discovery. My intuitive abilities can come through words, visuals, or feelings that assist me to point things out that would be helpful for your growth and healing.

 

Compassion:
There is a gentleness that I aspire to bring into my work with others. My heart goes out to those who are experiencing pain.

I myself have traveled through the depths of hell and well understand what you might be going through. Fortunately, during my voyage of life I have discovered that there is a way out. That way is through healing.

Is it possible? Yes, and absolutely! I would go further and say it is an essential part of our journey.

 

No Judgment, No Guilt, No Shaming:
While working with you it is never my intent to bring in judgment, guilt or shaming. I’ve either seen, experienced, or became aware of almost every element of darkness or tragedy.

All this to say that there really isn’t anything that shocks or fazes me. I will not judge you for anything that you might share with me. Rather, the more controversial it may be, I would consider your sharing to be an act of bravery. It is not my purpose to make you feel bad or wrong — our worlds probably done enough of that already. My purpose is to help you let go of all the negative beliefs that our world has burdened you with believing.

 

Finding Solutions:
With every problem there is a solution. One of my abilities is to seek out pathways towards revealing all the different solutions you have to choose from.

 

Life Map:
In my work with others I wanted to develop a simple map of life that could assist ones to know and understand where they are at and where they are going.

With that goal in mind, I was able to create what I call, “The Life Map”. The intention of this map works to maintain focus and direction towards the most critical aspects of your life. This is a tool that if utilized can bring you greater clarity and allow you to not get lost along your journey.

 

What I don’t have to offer:

False promises:
Almost daily, I see advertisements of individuals offering services with bold declarations that their service will heal, save, or enlighten you.

If you are looking for a savior, you will not find it here.

Only you can heal or save yourself from your own pain. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, heed caution as there is an element of control and manipulation present there.

I can assist you to heal, but in truth it will always only be you, yourself who is actually creating the healing.

 

Boxes, labels and diagnoses:
How often does our world seek to label individuals in an attempt to place them into the tiny confines of little boxes?

It is not my purpose to give you a label or even a diagnoses. I prefer to view you as a soul with unlimited potential.

You may exist in an animalistic body, but your soul is to be honored and respected. It is not a beast to be domesticated, confined, or captured.

 

Good, bad, right or wrong:
I am not someone who believes in punishment. Hate begets more hate. To judge or condemn any individual is to poison the heart of self.

Therefore, I do not subscribe to the goods, bads, rights, and wrongs of our world.

I don’t want you to feel any worse than you might already feel towards yourself. I want to assist you into loving all parts of self and the freedom that comes as a result of the forgiveness of your own self-acceptance.
