Treatment Approach
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: I have a holistic, integrative, and transformative approach that honors the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of all clients. I treat the counseling session as a sacred ceremony. My Ph.D. is in Transpersonal Psychology with a specialization in Spiritual Guidance. I was intitiated into the practice of Shamanism in 1974 by Spirit. The same year I was initiated into the practice of Zazen. In 2009 I was initiated in the Inca Mystical Path. I integrate all I have been fortunate to learn and experience in my everyday living. I see spirituality and a daily connnection with Spirit as an integral part of everyday life. I work with clients to be aware of, to support, and to enhance their own spirituality.

I am a Shamanic Practitioner and a Transpersonal Psychologist (unlicensed). The services I offer are Shamanic Counseling, Shamanic Healing, and Spiritual Guidance. I work with the capable human being who has life issues and questions, and who is sitting right in front of me. I listen so you can feel heard. If you are feeling dis-empowered or stuck in your daily life, if you are feeling dis-spirited and seek help with your spiritual needs or path, or if you feel dis-connected from nature, others, and/or your own soul, I can be of support to you.
My Ph.D. is in Transpersonal Psychology with a specialization in Spiritual Guidance (2009). I was initiated into Shamanic Practice by Spirit, in 1974, and have been fortunate to receive training from several Shamanic Teachers. I was trained in Projective Dreamwork with Jeremy Taylor, DMin.
I have been offering Shamanic Counseling, teaching Shamanic Practice, and facilitating Shamanic Journey Circles since 2006.
I have a background of training in a variety of counseling approaches. I have received supervised counseling experience in various counseling settings. I am not a licensed psychotherapist nor do I offer clinical psychotherapy. I do not offer diagnosis or treatment for psychological disorders. If you need that form of psychotherapeutic help, there are many well-qualified and licensed Psychotherapists listed with Therapy Tribe.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation for you to become acquainted with me and the services I offer. Call me to set up an online appointment to meet.
