Spacious Ground Psychotherapy
If you are looking for help with anxiety, deepening your connection with yourself and others, dealing with difficult or overwhelming feelings, identity questioning, or symbolic and dreamwork explorations, I am here to help you explore. I am excited to meet you where you are.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. - Carl Jung
Gestalt Psychotherapy with Jane Gehrke, Supervised by Gieve Patel LMFT 47196
My Approach
In individual therapy, I work with clients to help them increase their sense of agency and choice, and accept all parts of themselves so they can integrate and step into more wholeness. Explorations using both top-down and bottom-up approaches (awareness in the body) can help things surface in a safe way. Integrating one's shadow into therapy can be a powerful way to help understand and accept the darker aspects of the selves, and ultimately achieve greater wholeness. In relationship counseling, I facilitate a space to improve communication, meet with difference, and deepen connection with each other.
