​​"Embrace your grief, for there your soul will grow." - Carl Jung

​

As an integral and contemplative practitioner, Paul is about providing a space for deep inner work of the psyche (soul). Paul fosters a restorative and expansive space for individuals, while maintaining the view that people are essentially good -- on a spiritual level we have a Divine spark within us. Paul doesn't try to "fix" people or situations, but rather he helps people discover deeper awareness and equanimity within themselves. 

Paul is also a Thanatologist and integrates his training in death, dying, and bereavement to assist people in their grief and death anxiety. Paul helps people whether they're struggling with their grief, death anxiety, religious harm, or other spiritual challenges to be more grounded, integrated, and present in their lives and relationships. Engaged spirituality is about learning how to encounter the world with an open and tender heart (compassion), a strong back (fortitude), and an elevated awareness (consciousness).

 

Paul integrates transpersonal psychologies such as Jungian and Yoga psychology to assist people discover dynamic and transpersonal pathways of working with their ego during their individuation process, a life-long process of becoming integrated and whole. Transpersonal psychology is the merging of the wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions with the science of modern psychology. Transpersonal psychology takes one beyond the personal, including non-ordinary states of consciousness, mystical experiences, or finding the sacred in ordinary consciousness. Transpersonal states allow us to have a direct experience of unity or interconnectedness with other humans and the more-than-human world, i.e., nature.

​

Paul provides a welcoming presence and space for all people regardless of their sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, and cultural, religious/spiritual affiliations.
