About Uneclipsed Counseling

My entire life has instilled in me a passion and commitment to support adults, couples, and families to create opportunities for deeper, more enriching relationship dynamics. By experiencing firsthand the emotional impact of unhealed intergenerational trauma and how it impacts the entire family system, I sought to inspire healing and encourage wholehearted connection.

In 2009, I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor's degree in Communication and enthusiastically transitioned directly to the University of San Francisco. I graduated from USF in 2011 with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.

One of my favorite sources of inspiration as a student on my journey to rediscover myself came from a wise professor who said, "you can only take a client as far as you've gone yourself." This concept has undoubtedly shaped my entire experience as a healer and has cultivated a deep pursuit to authentically align with opportunities to evolve in profound ways.

Origin story

Kristina Ferguson

Uneclipsed Counseling was born from a quiet yet powerful moment of insight on my own journey which I reflected upon the following:

I am exploring the duality of my being and have recognized a part of me that feels like the authentic me who embodies qualities such as being passionate, kind, optimistic and resonates deeply with love, connection, and a sense of purpose.

But there is also a side of me, my shadow, that has been eclipsed from the light and hasn’t received all the love and nurturing she needs. This shadow carries feelings of sadness, fear, and loneliness. She makes choices to try and fulfill her unmet needs for love and belonging, which often leads to shame, compromised boundaries, people pleasing, neglecting herself, etc.

Goal for healing: nurture the shadow parts and bring them into the light as opposed to letting her guide me.

This is what it means to be uneclipsed.

The most powerful shift began when I started to listen to my intuition, connect with mentors who inspired beautiful holistic healing practices, and attune to the magic of the universe to begin to cultivate a greater understanding within myself. We are born from stars, and to reconnect with nature means to inherently reconnect with ourselves.

Healing also meant learning to connect with my breath. To refrain from making myself so small in an effort to squeeze inside the constricting cages that were never meant for me but that I had inherited from the preconceived expectations of others. I worked hard to change the narrative from feelings of guilt and self doubt for abandoning my allegiance to safety and comfort in exchange for courage and the opportunity to push the boundaries within myself to create life-changing experiences for self-expansion.

It is ultimately from this sense of passion and lived experiences that I encourage others to discover their own unique aspirations and manifest the bravery to live them.
