Jungian Analyst & Licensed Professional Counselor

My Practice

I provide adult individual and couples counseling.

My aim is to help clients follow a meaningful life path and overcome obstacles to their growth which often occur in early adulthood, at midlife, or later life.

I encourage clients to pay close attention to their dreams, bodies, emotions, and significant life events as sources of inner knowledge that clients may have learned to ignore over the course of their lives.

I offer a process to help clients become aware of the defenses they developed early in life to protect themselves but which now pose a barrier to re-connecting to their deepest self and what matters most to their happiness.

I also offer documented strategies to help clients cope with depression, anxiety, and destructive behaviors.

I bring experience working with diverse ethnic and age groups; extensive knowledge of educational and work organizations; and skill at facilitating communication and resolving conflict.

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)
