Individual Psychotherapy
The Ground of the Work
My work with individuals centers on remembering who we are in the deepest sense — as embodied, imaginative, relational and ecological beings. In this approach, symptom relief is not the focus but a natural by-product of the healing that comes from deeper transformation and integration.
I draw from psychodynamic principles, where we listen for what has been forgotten, buried, or unspoken. This work tends the terrain of early experience, conscious and unconscious phantasy, relationship, and imagination.
From a soulcentric perspective, we descend. Not into pathology, but into the fertile terrain of Soul. Together we listen for the images, dreams, and longings that reveal what wants to come alive. The work often moves between the personal and the mythic, opening us to deeper conversations with Soul and Mystery.
Wilderness therapy opens the way to a larger mythos. The movements of the living world mirror soul’s own unfolding. In the turning of seasons, in growth and decay, in light returning after darkness… These are the deep rhythms that shape both nature and the human soul, reminding us that transformation is the heart of life.
With this way of working, Nature becomes a co-therapist. As we tend our inner ecology, the outer world responds. The Earth is not a backdrop but a participant, a living presence that mirrors, steadies and teaches us how to live in right relationship. We remember ourselves as part of a living conversation — human and more-than-human, seen and unseen.
How the Work Unfolds
Each session becomes a practice of listening — to psyche, Soul and Nature — for the patterns that wish to evolve. The process is less about solving and more about listening — to dreams, symptoms, and images that insist on being seen. In our work as these images begin to move, they guide us toward what is most alive and asking to be lived.
This is not simply self-improvement, or a repair of the self. It is soul-making; a cultivation of depth, beauty and meaning. Each person carries a story trying to live itself through them. Our work becomes the listening ground for that story, the place where psyche, Soul and Nature conspire toward wholeness.
Our work becomes an act of remembering and re-weaving: a return to kinship with all beings, a reclamation of our body’s wisdom, and a homecoming to our souls.
In Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ words, we come “home to ourselves and our knowing bones.”
Practicalities
Our meetings take place mostly outdoors, in relationship with the land and its seasons. A small shelter is available for rough weather, a wood-framed kirjka space underground for ceremony, and a clean outhouse nearby.
Sessions are 50 minutes long. We meet in all seasons — rain, snow, wind or shine — so please come prepared to be in the elements; they are part of the medicine of this work.
Fees: $170 per session. A limited number of reduced-fee spaces are available; please inquire if cost is a barrier. I do not accept insurance at this time, but I’m happy to provide a superbill for clients wishing to seek reimbursement through their insurance provider.
