"Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite." Anaïs Nin
Welcome to First Circle Therapy.
Here, the ancient symbol of the circle offers an image for the path of healing and self-discovery. Circles are everywhere in the natural world—in the forms and movements of the sun, moon, and earth; in the passing of days and seasons; and in the intimate patterns of our relationships. We exist within circles, each one reflecting something of our place in the world and within ourselves.
The circle holds the complex, the mysterious, and the wild entirety of our experience. It is a symbol of wholeness—not as perfection, but as the possibility of making room for all that we are.
At the heart of my approach to therapy is the First Circle: your innermost self—a richly complex community of thoughts, emotions, experiences, and parts.
It is within this circle that we begin to turn toward our inner conflicts and challenges with curiosity. Through therapeutic exploration and the cultivation of compassionate self-awareness, we come to better understand the many parts of ourselves: what they carry, how they have learned to protect us, and what they may need in order to soften or change.
This is the delicate work of integration—creating greater harmony within and strengthening our relationship with the wisdom at the center of who we are.
First Circle Therapy is dedicated to nurturing this inner circle. The work of healing is deeply personal, but it does not happen in isolation. As our relationship with ourselves changes, those shifts can ripple outward into our relationships, our communities, and the ways we move through the world.
Exploring our First Circle means embracing the complexity of our inner landscape as a pathway toward growth and greater connection. Here, the circle is honored as a symbol of wholeness, unity, wondrous mystery, and the endless potential for transformation.
Together, we make space to discover greater strength, peace, and clarity within the beautiful complexity of being.
