Jarl’s pursuit of the study of consciousness has been an almost full-time endeavor for more than thirty years. Meditation, self- inquiry, reflection, and therapy influenced profoundly by her extensive reading of western psychology and eastern spirituality, have helped her to develop a serious commitment to living in the moment in peace. Through her persistent questioning regarding troublesome aspects of her own life she has cultivated effective techniques to guide herself, her family, friends, students, and clients in learning how to find, and examine beliefs which may be the of cause suffering in their lives. The teachers who have influenced her are too great to list, but she attributes a great portion of her approach to Byron Katie, whom she met in 1997 during a difficult transition in her life.

The goal of Jarl’s approach to counseling is to bring her clients into greater flow and alignment with the authentic self. She does this by examining unquestioned beliefs and working to develop the understanding that how we interpret what life presents to us is the greatest single factor determining the quality of our lives and our overall well-being. This approach does not distinguish between different genres of personal issues rather it equally encompasses all aspects of one’s life from the mundane to the sublime.
