My approach is informal and flexible. I don't have a set curriculum or a specific process that I follow.
Mostly, we'll have free-ranging conversations about where you are and where you want to be. This isn't therapy, and I'm certainly not a therapist, but we will try to identify patterns and beliefs that prevent you from pursuing what you want. And we will certainly talk about feelings, because feelings point us toward our truths. They show us what we really want and care about, not just what we've learned is acceptable or "reasonable".
My favorite reference for this work is The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron. I will undoubtedly refer to it as we work together. And while you certainly do not need to, I highly suggest you buy a copy. It is an evergreen resource for staying in touch with yourself.
While this may suggest a focus on creativity, the real focus is living in full expression and enthusiasm. Creativity is absolutely part of that, but creativity is so much more than the standard arts. Rearranging your home, tending your garden, having a laugh with a friend, taking a different route to work... living a spontaneous, vibrant life is creative! And of course, should the arts call - should you, like me, suddenly get the urge to buy a bunch of paint and throw it at a canvas - we like that too!
On a related point, I will encourage you to develop and practice your own spirituality. This can be offputting to many, usually for good reason. We'll figure out what works for you and what doesn't. Basically, we just want to find stimulating, useful ways of staying in touch with the endless mystery of this life and having fun with it!
Lastly, this work doesn't work without action. I'll recommend exercises (many from The Artist's Way 😄) to help you access your enthusiasm, curiosity, and intuition. I'll recommend experiments that challenge your status quo. Most importantly, we'll come up with small, easily accomplished goals that move you gently toward your liveliest life.
My current rate is $100 per hour, but if that's prohibitive, let's talk about what would work for you.
