XVII Counseling
This is where healing begins.
Counseling approach
My work with clients is informed by relational, trauma-informed, and psychodynamic approaches. The collection of these models shapes the way we will work together to create containment for the present, healing for the past, and hope for the future.
X V I I • The Star
The Star: Hope, Inspiration, Positivity, Faith, Renewal, Healing, Purpose, & Rejuvenation.
The Star card shows a woman kneeling at the edge of a small pond. She is holding two containers of water: one in her left hand, representing the subconscious, and one in her right, the conscious. One container pours the water out as if to nourish and replenish the earth and ensure its longevity. The lush green land around her seems to say that it is working. The other container pours the water onto dry land in five small rivers, representing the five senses. One foot is sitting in the pool, which conveys her intuition and inner voice. Her other foot is planted firmly on the ground, representing her abilities and strength. Behind her, light glows from a cluster of stars, representing her core essence and her energy.
The Star brings hope, renewed power, and strength to carry on; it comes as a welcome reprieve after a time of frustration, challenges, or even trauma. You have endured through it all; you survived. Perhaps you were not aware of your own power and brilliance, or perhaps you’ve lost sight of it. The Star marks the beginning of healing. This is a time of hope and growth as you uncover or rediscover your inner power and resilience. The Star invites you to honor all that you were, be authentic in all that you are, and to transform into all you aspire to be.
The Star card represents the essence of a nourished and holistic life. Therapy invites all parts of you into this process: mind, heart, and body. Who we are is curated by not only what we have experienced, but who we are at our core and how we process internally what we have gone through. We are tasked with understanding our own narratives; where we come from, who we are now, and what we hope to grow into. This journey takes every part of us. As your therapist I will walk alongside you and support you as you discover more deeply who you are.
