Treatment Approach
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: One starts where one is. An issue in body or mind may express itself in some other area. Without judgement, the goal is to discover the root cause and address the fundamental issue. it's most like archeology. Examining and sifting through each layer, one at a time, as much as the client is willing to disclose and address.

Idealife Healing, my practice, supports people in finding balance between their ideals and their everyday lives. It strives to create harmony between body, heart, and soul. The main activities utilized to achieve this include counseling to address personal conflicts, the Raphaelite Work to promote healing in physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual areas, and healing retreats to allow time and space apart from the everyday world to tune in to one's essential self through counseling and hands-on sessions similar to Reiki.
