Welcome! 

​

Let me introduce myself.  My given name is Cristin but I go by True.  My pronouns are she/her.

​

I strive to provide a safe, affirming and inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds, identities and abilities are welcome.  I continue to educate myself on the topic of diversity and inclusion and seek to understand where I do not.

​

The healing philosophy I work through is called transpersonal psychology.  Transpersonal psychology explores the human experience beyond our sense of our self.  It includes the exploration of a spiritual consciousness in its most general sense and a relationship to that which is greater than oneself.  How that is defined and known varies from person to person.  For some that exists inside of a religious framework, for others it exists in relationship to nature, and for still others it includes a cosmology that is unique.  I also work with those who don't  have a relationship with spirituality, grounding instead in concepts such as their experience of love and living.

​​

What really works about this approach, is that it is a practice that believes that our true nature is one of wholeness.  It makes room for curiosity, compassion and creativity--and I have found both in my personal journey and through working with others, that is a gentle yet powerful place from which to heal.  When we are in pain, it is sometimes hard to hold a view of our innate connectedness, which is why it is useful to work with another who can hold this vision for us.

​

From a practical standpoint, my therapeutic approach incorporates talk therapy with the wisdom of the body and well as the use of healing journeys, meditation and creativity.
