soul care services
Soul care is the practice of slowing down and focusing inward so you can care for yourself and experience more connection with God, yourself, and others. It’s a way for you to tune in and discover the needs of your mind and feelings. When you enter the counseling process, we will discuss how you are caring for your soul, being, or self. If you feel you have never learned skills pertaining to the health and wellness of your soul I can provide you with practical tools and skills to increase your emotional and spiritual health.
soul care groups
I have developed and administered a soul care group utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and the book Boundaries for your Soul, by Dr. Kimberly Miller and Dr. Alison Cook. This is a 6-week closed group for identified clients who are participating in individual counseling and are ready to complete this group process with 6 other clients.
The group focuses on developing self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing from trauma in a safe group context. During the course of the group, clients will learn ways to care for their souls and practice mindfulness skills and guided prayers to help nurture parts of their souls. If you are interested in being a participant in the group please contact me for more information.
This group will be offered again in Fall of 2022. If you are interested in being one of the six participants please contact me for more information.
