Integrative Counseling
Life is our teacher.
In our practice, we use each opportunity, challenge, and stuck place as doorways on a path of Revelation, expansion and self-mastery.
We live in a world that is a collective cauldron of change and opportunity for awakening. On one hand, we are individuals working through our own inner conditioning, developmental belief sets, and karmas. On another hand, we are cells in a collective body that is all transforming together as the Earth becomes increasingly more connected and coherent.
We feel in our deep psyches both the pain of the ecosystems impacted by human activity, and we also feel the immense and unshakable intelligence of the Gaian mind. As many indigenous tribes believe, the Earth herself is speaking through those who are listening. We are not separate from nature and each other.
We are here to learn, to love, and live as fully as possible. However, sometimes we can get stuck or hit a wall. In the process of growth, our old ways of seeing and navigating stop working.
I feel Life is a developmental adventure. For the explorer, Life is a journey of revelation and discovery of what this reality is really about. Awakening is not about acquiring knowledge. Rather, awakening is subtracting the false stories to reveal the Grace, Love, Beauty, Creativity, and sheer Wonder of the essential Self.
In these times, we have the opportunity to catalyze our inner development, because we have so much subconscious conditioning shaken and made conscious.
In individual and group sessions with Jordana, we use both psychotherapy and intuitive methods to bring to consciousness the belief structures that block the flow of creativity and the expression of harmony and inner guidance. We support the healing of pains from the past, so that you can live fully in the grace of the present moment. We include all experience in a field of unconditional Love and non-judgment.
My work is very experiential, body-oriented, and alchemical. We make transformations in the moment and open new possibilities for integration into daily life and relationships.
My primary methods are based in transpersonal psychotherapy, eco-psychology, Hakomi, and Sensorimotor psychotherapy. I further draw from twenty years of psychospiritual studies that include Traditional Amazonian Spirituality and Healing, Ashtanga and Prajna Yoga, and Spiritual Inquiry (The Diamond Approach). For more details of my education and path, see here.
This work can support:
Opening blockages to inspired creativity and meaningful work and ways of living
Integration of parts split through developmental traumas
Developing emotional intelligence that serves as an inner antenna for soul development
Discovering an internal compass guided by the deeper Self
Rooting in embodiment and cultivating energetic vitality
Subtle skills for highly creative and sensitive people
Wayfinding through life’s inevitable transitions, stuck places, feelings of anxiety and depression, and obstacles
This work is for you if:
You want to expand in your capacity for leading from Love in your community, family, or organization, using tools rooted in both traditional earth-based spiritual wisdom and modern sciences
You believe healing happens in relationship—with yourself, with community, and the living Earth
You're drawn to experiential practices that engage body, mind, spirit, and community as one whole system
You sense that individual transformation and collective planetary healing are the same project
All our wounds
are doorways
to wisdom and Life.
As each person learns how to live in authenticity, we open new possibilities for those close to us and for the collective.
I see each individual’s journey as a part of our collective transformation towards a spiritually just, socially equitable, and ecologically regenerative world.

How We Work
You are a vibrant living system woven into the larger systems all around you. Therefore, when we work together we address the balance of your whole system – the body, mind, heart and spirit, and your relationships to the all.
Our work may not look like standard therapy, sitting in a chair and talking about your past.
This approach integrates:
Earth-based traditional medicine learned through 15 years of intensive study with indigenous healers
Modern psychology grounded in academic training and clinical practice in body-oriented and trauma-informed approaches
Contemplative spiritual practices that penetrate questions of truth and their applications towards true health and vitality
We will first do an assessment and set intentions and outcomes for our work based on what you tell me verbally or nonverbally. I may recommend for you embodiment practices, new habits and rituals, dietary changes and herbal remedies, new growth challenges, and we'll determine a course of sessions.
During our sessions, we learn to listen to the body, breath, and sensations to help identify and untangle deep limiting beliefs and self-images based on life experiences and traumas. We inquire into the present moment and the body to discover limiting structures and self-images and transform them into presence and possibility. We may engage in active imagination, shamanic journeying, guided meditations, movement, relational experiments, and play. We also learn to explore your inner world through your dreams and meditations, opening a journey of self-discovery and ongoing growth. For those interested, we will go outside and work with the natural world as our ally.
Start the Journey
Sessions are 60-90 minutes and can be done in-person or over Zoom.

During a counseling session, you can expect a supportive and skilled container to open into your Self.
Using a body-oriented experiential and mindfulness-based approach, we will follow your conscioussness to reveal inner blockages to natural states of love and joy, creativity, connection, pleasure, and expansion.
In other words, we seek to unveil your true nature’s infinite intelligency and capacity, which can take any vibration called for in the direct moment. Over the course of development, we cover over our wounds with identities and defenses that protect us for a while, but then they imprison us.
Through our work together, we will gently uncover these limitations and reconnect to the inner vibrancy, vitality, and boundlessness of your own essential Self.
As your guide, I provide a skilled, intuitive mirror to help you reconnect with your own intelligence and uncover vulnerable places. However, more importantly, you will learn skills for your own practice in your daily life and to share with your close of kin.
-
Yes, I offer most of the counseling sessions over zoom. Following your consultation, we'll make a personalized plan for how we’ll work together.
-
Returning clients are welcome to ‘drop-in’ with me for single sessions.
Most clients will schedule sessions with me every 2 weeks for 3 months. Then we will re-assess what is needed and beneficial to your overall goals.
If it serves your reason for coming, we may schedule weekly sessions.
-
I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows me to accommodate other clients who may be waiting for an appointment. Clients will be charged for cancelling appointments with less than 24 hours notice.
