What if you are the one you’ve been waiting for?
My goals for you.
That you will step into agency for your own healing, fully inhabit your body, feel and trust your own intuition, orient to your own compass heading, embody your own soul’s image, and through embodiment of your soul’s gifts, more fully participate in community and an emergent cosmos.
Our sessions will be
Personalized
While the journey of healing and the descent to soul travels a common or archetypal road map, the unique journey we have lived through our bodies, and the many identities our bodies host, make each of us quite unique. There is no formula, standard approach, no precise map to follow that applies to all. Together we will find what works for you, and at your pace. And while I have my own goals for my clients (stated above), the only agenda I follow is the one your soma and psyche dictates.
Integrative
I operate on a holistic model. We work with many modalities on mind, body, and soul levels. After every session you will receive or self-create invitations and practices to be done between sessions, and bring into your everyday life. We work at the pace of integration, and build your capacity for integration. You will find, be gifted, or cultivate the very resources you need for the next right step of your journey. You will begin to see the mythic perfection of your life’s journey and what it has been preparing you for, bringing past, present and future into clarity. And what is hidden for safe keeping in the shadows, you will gain the capacity to bring into the light of day and make whole, to make holy.
the ground under your feet, here now.
We all have dreams and hopes, some of which we hide for safe keeping under hopelessness, or in a tomorrow that never comes (at least as we planned it). When our wounded or acculturated ego makes plans for us, they are always too small for the magnificence of soul. We look to the future through the eyes of the past, and most often what lies on the horizon is a mirage. When the healing journey is about “one day, out there, when I’m a better person, when I’m more healed, I will be lovable, I will be worthy of taking up space, I will be happy, I will belong, I will be successful…” then the healing journey and life itself is one of self-abandonment. The fastest way to accomplish anything, is one step at a time, and each step we face we fill it with curiosity, compassion, and we explore our current wholeness, and examine the current and historic resourcefulness and the resilience of all our parts who helped us survive with their best made plans and survival strategies. The best place to be is here, it’s where change happens, where something new emerges, it’s where we wake up, it’s where we come home, and it’s all we have. The work we do is very present oriented, while also keeping one eye on the arc of a mythic journey.
A shift from words.
Talk therapy relies on talking, usually the words formed by the dominant ego structure that has very little interest in giving up control. There is a conflict of interest when words dominate the field of any session, of any relationship. While words are safe, there is a longing to be known in other ways. Our sessions, while using words, will depart from the usual conversation and running the same old tapes, and drop into the language of the body, of the psyche, and let a whole host of other aspects of yourself be heard and encountered by you and I. This is a path of courageous intimacy, trust, and play, where we venture beyond safe and familiar but limited horizons, and into something awkward, beautiful, strange, sometimes terrible (until something reveals its true face), expansive and whole.
“Drew is a magical dreamworker and guide to soul. They use deep imagery and somatic tools to help you experience the dream as it wants to be experienced. Their intuitive capacities will help you find just the right edge at just the right time. They build on and combine a multitude of tools and extensive experience to support you through what's most alive for you. They have a tender and intuitive way of making the uncomfortable, tolerable. This has allowed me to work through my lived experiences in a safe and titrated way while still holding onto the threads of soul. Drew is an essential part of my journey as they will be yours as well. Working with Drew is truly something to be experienced.”
