Philosophy

Spiritual counseling has a goal of reclaiming one's whole self; mind, body and soul. Grounded in depth and transpersonal psychology and informed by spiritual traditions, it offers a sacred space where you can make meaning of the unfolding of your life, however messy or painful. The process encourages growth towards more wholeness and greater self-love. It is not the healer who does the healing, but rather the individual who is supported and ready to open to their body's innate wisdom and ability to let go and deepen connection to the heart.
"Paul is a talented spiritual counselor. He is patient, gentle, genuine, and compassionate. I worked with Paul when I was going through a challenging time, and he acted as a grounding force - at times a ballast for my wildly swinging thoughts and emotions. Paul’s presence enabled me to hold myself with loving compassion; I truly cannot say enough kind things. I know anyone would find him to be an excellent guide on their spiritual journey."
-Mary O.
