Archetypal Soul-Oriented Counseling & Astrology
Online suport for life transitions and the search for meaning
Archetypal counseling and astrology supporting life transitions, meaning, and a sense of purpose. Sessions offered online via Zoom.
Do you feel called toward deeper meaning—yet sense that something essential may be missing in conventional therapy or coaching?
I offer archetypal, soul-oriented counseling for people navigating life transitions, spiritual questioning, creative blocks, and the deeper search for meaning. I also offer in-depth astrological work, either as stand-alone chart readings or woven into ongoing counseling work. Rather than centering on diagnosis or symptom reduction, this work supports engagement with the deeper dis-ease of the soul—the inner summons toward coherence, participation, and a growing sense of purpose.
All sessions are offered online via Zoom, allowing us to work together wherever you are.
What Is Soul-Oriented Counseling?
Soul-oriented counseling is a depth-centered, archetypal approach that focuses on meaning, identity, and the inner life of the soul rather than diagnosing or treating psychological illness. It begins from the assumption that many struggles arise not from pathology, but from a deeper call toward growth, reflection, and purpose.
This work understands personal experience as shaped not only by biography and psychology, but by archetypal patterns—universal themes and images that move through individual lives in unique ways. Together, we listen for the patterns, longings, tensions, and questions that give a life its distinctive shape.
Soul-oriented counseling is especially helpful when familiar approaches no longer feel sufficient—when insight alone doesn’t resolve a sense of restlessness, loss of meaning, or inner conflict. Rather than fixing problems, the aim is to cultivate understanding and conscious relationship with the unfolding story of one’s life.
This work is not a substitute for clinical or medical mental health care. It is most appropriate for individuals who are psychologically stable and seeking deeper self-understanding, spiritual insight, and a more meaningful relationship to their lives.
Soul-Oriented Counseling as Archetypal Myth & Story
My approach to this work encourages clients to experience their lives as unfolding stories—not merely as collections of biographical facts, but as meaningful narratives shaped by inheritance, choice, loss, imagination, and becoming.
We often begin by exploring stories of lineage—parents, grandparents, and ancestors—to understand how patterns of belief, survival, longing, and value are carried forward across generations. From there, we turn toward your own life story, listening not only to what happened, but to how those events have been told, interpreted, and lived.
Personal stories are approached archetypally—not only as individual experiences, but as expressions of larger human patterns: initiation and exile, loss and return, resistance and calling, descent and renewal. In this work, the task is not to correct the past, but to re-vision it.
In many ways, the process resembles moving from an ego-based autobiography toward memoir. Autobiography seeks accuracy and coherence of facts; memoir reflects on experience to discover significance. Through storytelling and reflection, life experiences can be re-seen as part of a larger pattern—allowing coherence, dignity, and a deeper sense of purpose to emerge over time.
How This Differs from Traditional Therapy
Traditional psychotherapy often focuses on diagnosing symptoms, resolving problems, and helping individuals function more effectively within their lives. That work can be deeply valuable, and many people who come to me have already benefited from therapy or continue to do so elsewhere.
Soul-oriented counseling takes a different point of departure. Rather than asking primarily, “What is wrong?” it asks, “What is trying to emerge?” The focus shifts from symptom reduction to meaning-making, from correction to interpretation, and from biography as a fixed record of events to life as an evolving story.
This work is not intended to replace clinical, psychiatric, or medical care. It is best suited for those whose struggles point toward growth, integration, and deeper understanding rather than acute psychological distress.
