Jungian Analyst & Licensed Professional Counselor

I am licensed by the Oregon Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists, abide by the Board's Code of Ethics, and participate in ongoing education.  

I am a diplomate of the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich, Switzerland. My training included study of ancient sources of wisdom in myth, fairy tale, and prehistoric religion; analysis of symbols in dreams and art; personal psychotherapy to increase my own self-knowledge and empathy with clients; and supervision of my clinical work by Institute analysts.

 Before becoming a psychotherapist, I carried out research and technical assistance on high school reform at district and national levels with stints at Bank Street College of Education in NYC, Temple University, University of Oregon, and Education Northwest in Portland, OR.

Both conscious and unconscious forces influence us, the former a product of our learning, the latter a great reservoir of creativity and wisdom that we inherit and can be enriched by if we pay attention to it. (Above: Sleeping Lady and the Rite of Incubation, Malta Hypogeum, 3300 BC)
