Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapy

The transpersonal integrative school of psychotherapy is at the core of my practice: the idea that there is much more meaning and depth to existence than the eye can see, and than our minds can comprehend.

The transpersonal (beyond-personality) part means that our work is not limited to working through your personality traits and psychological processes. It goes beyond that, into working with you on a soul level to discover your soul's purpose in this life.

In the spirit of this optimistic and positive approach, there is a trust that a higher purpose, an invitation for growth, can be identified even in the midst of the darkest and most painful experiences of life. The belief that symptoms are symbols: looking at pain with curiosity, and wondering what particular quality or change this challenge is calling forth.

Body, mind and spirit

Forming a genuine connection with you, I seek to provide an accurate mirroring of your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state. I attend and work with your body, mind and spirit, treating them as inseparable aspects of your being, and that's the integrative part of my practice. This wholesome approach will in time foster a sense of wholeness and integration in your experience of life.

Your unique purpose

The belief that each person is as unique as their fingerprints is central to my practice. I work with you to discover and retrieve your own individual purpose. The work usually starts with identifying and breaking free from the layers of conditioning that are veiling your true self. Holding a genuine love and interest in the soul sitting behind the layers of wounding and scripts, I facilitate a process of truce and becoming at peace with yourself. This gradually establishes a more secure and accepting base within you, from which you are able to explore and enhance your connection to others.

Creativity

Creativity is very present in my therapy work. I especially enjoy working with dreams, drawing, facilitating imagery through body work, creative imagination, and expression through breath and sound. These work as a bridge to bypass the limitations of the mind, opening up to the infinite possibilities held in the realm of imagery and symbolism.

Relationship

Above all, I work in a relational way. In my view, the foundation of any successful therapeutic work is the trusting alliance and connection between me and my clients. This trust and ease is built through a consistent experience of my reliability, empathic listening, full presence, and the genuine interest, care and love I hold for my clients.
