Discover What Your Whole Story Is Trying to Tell You
Life telling counseling is a narrative-based, faith-integrated approach that treats your story—all of it—as sacred ground. Rather than fixing individual problems, I help you see how your doubts, injuries, failures, and faith are woven together into a coherent narrative that reveals who you're becoming.
Life telling counseling moves through three interconnected dimensions: witnessing your fragmented chapters, exploring what they reveal about you, and integrating them into a coherent narrative that points toward your becoming.
Your nervous system is your biological foundation. It's constantly scanning for threat and orchestrating your responses. When dysregulated, it keeps you stuck in survival mode.
Your threat-response system mislabels modern social friction as danger, triggering fear spikes and defensive patterns.
Learn to consciously influence your nervous system through Detection, Intervention, and Command—moving from dysregulation to resilience.
A regulated nervous system that can access wisdom, courage, and authentic presence.
Your archetypes are the inner patterns—the psychological and spiritual blueprints—that shape how you move through the world. Wounded archetypes drive suffering.
Wounded archetypes (Wild Man, Boy, King, Warrior, Lover, Wounded Son) create patterns of shame, disconnection, and self-sabotage.
Identify wounded archetypes through assessment, understand their origins through compassionate inquiry, and facilitate integration and healing.
Integrated archetypes that express wisdom, strength, love, and wholeness.
Your nervous system and your archetypes are deeply interconnected. A dysregulated nervous system keeps wounded archetypes activated. Wounded archetypes keep your nervous system dysregulated. Healing happens when you work with both simultaneously.
We assess both your nervous system patterns (dysregulation triggers, threat responses) and your archetypal patterns (wounded archetypes, core beliefs). This reveals the full picture of what's driving your struggle.
We use nervous system tools (vagal brake activation, somatic awareness, grounding) to create safety and regulation. This creates the foundation for deeper archetypal work. A regulated nervous system can access wisdom and healing.
We use archetypal work (compassionate inquiry, pattern identification, integration practices) to heal wounded patterns. Your nervous system tools support this process, allowing you to stay regulated while processing deep material.
As both dimensions heal, you develop mastery. You understand your nervous system triggers and know how to regulate. You understand your archetypes and can access their wisdom. You move through life with courage and wholeness.
Nervous System Focus: Learn to recognize dysregulation, activate your vagal brake, and create physiological safety.
Archetypal Awareness: Identify which archetypes are most dysregulated and understand their protective patterns.
Archetypal Focus: Use compassionate inquiry to explore wounded patterns, understand their origins, and begin integration.
Nervous System Support: Use regulation tools to stay resourced while processing deep material.
Unified Focus: Embody integrated archetypes while maintaining nervous system resilience.
Outcome: Courageous presence and inner wholeness.
We understand how your brain's threat-response system works and how to help it shift from protection mode to presence mode. Your nervous system can be trained and retrained.
We understand the archetypal patterns that shape your identity and behavior. Healing these patterns creates lasting change at the psychological and spiritual level.
Your Christian faith isn't separate from this work—it's woven throughout. We honor your spiritual journey while addressing practical struggles with neuroscience-informed and psychologically-sound tools.
This approach combines evidence-based practices (trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, Internal Family Systems) with archetypal psychology for comprehensive healing.
