Individual Sessions
“I am an atom in the universe, possessing infinite possibilities of development. And I want to explore these possibilities.”
-Hilma af Klint, Swedish artist and medium
The time is now.
At various periods in your life the stars and planets align in such a way that sensitive points in your birth chart are activated and you have an opportunity to reach a deeper level of authenticity and integration. Thankfully you don’t need to be an astrologer to know when this is happening—you're sensitive and you can feel it. Here are just a few possible signs that your soul is inviting you into the next level of your evolutionary journey:
You feel antsy, irritable, and stuck, like something in your life needs to change but you’re not exactly sure what or how.
You feel burnt out and uninspired at work. You’re ready for a big shift but your desired way of working feels like an unrealistic fantasy.
All of a sudden you are questioning things that you thought you knew about yourself and/or the world. What used to feel like solid ground now feels like quicksand.
Your hormones are changing and you feel like you can hardly recognize yourself some days.
How you respond to this opportunity for transformation is up to you.
Some people will choose to ignore it and continue playing out the old patterns that have become comforting in their familiarity. But not you. You were wired to take the road less traveled. Your uncommon curiosity, complexity, intensity, sensitivity and self-awareness will be assets on this journey. Choosing to do the deeper work of liberating yourself from the boxes society has tried to put you in and deepening and expanding into your authentic, embodied self-expression takes courage, desire, and commitment.
You have what it takes—you were literally born for this.
But you don’t need to do it alone.
The Transformation
Here’s what you can expect to get out of our work together
Self knowledge
Clarity, understanding, and integration of your unique flavor of neurocomplexity and your internal soular system of parts
Self care
Ability to meet your neurocomplex needs (e.g. sensory, work/rest rhythms) to support nervous system regulation.
Self energy
Access to your inner resource of self-compassion, creativity, connection, insight, integration, wisdom, and presence.
Soul embodiment
Embodied expression of your unique blend of gifted intelligences (intellectual, emotional, creative, sensual, spiritual, etc.)
Self leadership
Authentic Self-leadership, and alignment with your soul’s intentions, in areas of life that previously felt icky or out of balance.
Freedom
Self-liberation from the familial and societal expectations of who you are and how you should behave in the world.
THe Journey
Here’s what you can expect along the way
1. Getting to know your Soular System
Together we will get to know your unique constellation of parts through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Resources will be provided to support further exploration and integration of your gifted/2e/me* identity between sessions, as relevant. You will gain appreciation and respect for the brilliant and creative ways your parts have learned to protect you and help you navigate a world that was not designed for your level of complexity and intensity and build trust in Self-leadership.
*2e/me = twice or multi-exceptional (gifted + a disability such as Autism or ADHD)
2. Unburdening your Soular System
With your system’s full consent we will do the deeper work of clearing out the painful emotions and limiting beliefs that have kept you from embodying and expressing your most authentic Self. Revisiting the ways your neurocomplexity may have been denied, misunderstood, or pathologized, and healing the parts that carry shame for being “different,” “weird,” or “too much.” As you free yourself from external expectations for how you should feel, think, and behave you will learn new ways of tending your nervous system that honor your unique biological rhythms and energy flows.
3. Integration &
Soul-led living
As you continue your process of identity integration and becoming Self-led in all aspects of your life, your gifted intelligences (e.g. intellectual, emotional, creative/imaginational, sensual, physical, existential/spiritual) will begin to blossom and flourish in new ways. New paths forward, career opportunities, creative projects, and inventive solutions to life’s challenges will show up. You will complete our work together with the practical tools and self-confidence to skillfully navigate whatever comes next on you journey.
I love working with other therapists, coaches, and mental health professionals.
Here’s what they say about working with me:
“Genevieve has an authenticity about her that I haven’t witnessed in prior therapists. She is a gifted IFS practitioner and stays focused on parts work, which I find extremely helpful. She would gently guide me back to it when my monkey mind had me jumping from topic to topic. Genevieve is knowledgable and insightful. She respected my own clinical knowledge and encouraged me to go deeper in my self-work, finding meaning and empathy for parts of myself that have been protected for a long time. She helped me notice patterns of thoughts and behaviors which stem from these parts without judgement. -CK
“Genevieve is thoughtful and nonjudgmental. She always holds in mind that we share a profession and there are many things I already know or have done my own reflections around. I never feel patronized or managed in our sessions. Her remarks and the way she holds space send the message, ‘I can witness and support you in your process while honoring the knowledge and experience you already have.’ Genevieve helps move things out of the intellectual and into the lived experience. She balances well the shared priorities of affirmation and accountability. I find that other therapists have had a harder time holding me accountable and doing so in ways that I can hear and integrate meaningfully. She does this very well and in ways that feel effective and like they move me forward in my work.” -AP
“I love how, after years of working together, our sessions still feel curious. The comfortable, yet challenging atmosphere that comes with every session feels very unique. When I’m working through things in our sessions, I feel grounded in a way that is deeply trusting. Whether I’m crying or laughing or catastrophizing, or overanalyzing, I’m better able to access the deepest part of myself that feels calm and levelheaded.” -MG

My Transformational Tools
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) developed by Richard Schwartz, is an evidence-based, inherently spiritual model for integrative healing based on the belief that we all have a wise, compassionate core Self that knows how to heal and is the natural leader of our internal system. Additionally we all have inner parts, or sub-personalities, that contain valuable qualities. As we go through painful life experiences our parts can get forced into roles oriented around helping us survive and avoid further pain. The goals of IFS therapy are to:
Liberate parts from the roles they’ve been forced into, so they can be who they’re designed to be.
Restore trust in the Self and Self-leadership.
Reharmonize the inner system.
Become more Self-led in your interactions with the world.
I have completed IFS Level 1 and Level 2 training and am a certified IFS therapist.

Evolutionary Astrology (EA), developed by Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green, understands each person's birth chart as a map of the soul's evolution and a tool that can help us understand the lessons and themes we came here to engage with and how best to navigate these lessons. Based in the core spiritual belief that there is a larger, transpersonal meaning to our lives, EA can be used to help us live in harmony with our higher purpose and soul’s evolutionary intentions. I have complete training through the Forrest Center of Evolutionary Astrology (FCEA).

They say an image speaks a thousand words. Art making and symbolic imagery can be hugely helpful in expressing complex thoughts and emotions that defy verbal explanation. Art making can also facilitate access to the subconscious and superconscious minds and reveal creative solutions to internal conflict. I have a master’s degree in art therapy and have been a board certifed art therapist for since 2011.
