By blending both the ancient wisdom of traditional Eastern thought such as meditation and energy work, as well as modern Western scientific approaches of
Jungian
Psychology and dreamwork, I offer a holistic mindfulness approach to therapy and healing, creating a non-judgmental and empowering space promoting growth and lasting transformation.
Through deep awareness, compassion, and commitment to those with whom i work, my approach to therapy is creative, collaborative, and integrative, allowing a client-centered approach, and therapeutic interventions uniquely crafted to suit each client. Through a warm and open style, I create a safe and caring environment helping clients feel comfortable, connected, and understood. This atmosphere fosters a true relationship between the client and the self, which is a key component in my ability to empower insight and transformation my clients, and help them connect more deeply with themselves and others.

I specialize in treatment of trauma, and working with children, adolescents, alternative lifestyles, LGBTQ, and have
Jungian
dream analysis training. I prefer open ended and free flowing approaches that will include multiple modalities in sessions such as movement, games and artistic expressions. I would describe my therapeutic approach as open, using humor, as I recognize therapy sessions should not solely focus on negative feelings. My clinical orientation is eclectic and I can fluidly merge multiple approaches such as behavioral, cognitive, relational, psychodynamic and Maslow theory.

Having more than 25-years experience with issues most often brought to therapy, I see our work together as a healing process and sacred journey of the soul with my role being guide, witness and companion on the path towards wholeness, self-empowerment and self-realization. It's often a journey into the unconscious using dreams and one's creative process. This brings a deep commitment to my own growth as well. Beginning in the addictions field and continually striving to deepen my knowledge of the alchemy of healing I am also a
Jungian
analyst.

I have a background in depth psychology and work through
Jungian
, Self-Object, and Archetypal Psychology perspectives.
I provide quality mental health counseling and therapy that is thoughtfully tailored to your needs. Our work together will address concerns in an empowering and centering way that produces substantive change. My approach is connective (Therapy works best when we are able to connect and work well together) and directive (by directive I mean that I give things for you to do during the week like writing, journaling, reading, exercises, reflections, and/or activities). I'm known for being helpful with people who have been through therapy and haven't had success. I help people find aliveness, creativity, and strength.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" (Jung). As a bilingual (Spanish/English) and bi-cultural
Jungian
Psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I help people to consciously reconnect with their inner life in order to heal themselves. While damage to such connection usually creates a variety of psychological difficulties, reverence to the inner wisdom is a contemplative stance of active listening to the interior music that heals and that connect us with the immensity of our inner life. The inner life has an intelligence that corrects and compensates the psychological imbalances that have created emotional challenges.

I work from a
Jungian
and feminist framework.
Therapy can be a radical process of transformation providing healing, greater sense of belonging, emotional freedom, and hope. Often clients present with an idea of what's causing them concern but people also come to therapy with just a sense that something isn’t right or their life could be better in some way. I view therapy as a dynamic collaboration that allows for the exploration of current circumstances as well as the discovery of underlying personal and cultural patterns. In addressing the whole person and their cultural context, we can find not only easing or resolution of symptoms but also a fuller and more meaningful life.

I am a
Jungian
Analyst in Training in ISAP, Zurich Switzerland.
The word psychotherapy comes from the ancient Greek word “psyche” and “therapeia”. Psyche means soul, and therapeia means healing. I look at psychotherapy as a process of soul healing. One may be facing a break down in relationships, a faith crisis, a sense of disorientation with nowhere to go, a life without meaning. It could be a loss of self worth. Or there may be old wounds that continue to bleed and require tending. Together we can listen to the deeper calling of soul, and work towards healing. We will go deep within to find answers, to piece the fragments together and work towards Wholeness.

As a clinical psychologist and
Jungian
psychoanalyst I specifically enjoy working with people at a deeper level.
Welcome! I believe that one of the essential ingredients of change and transformative psychotherapy is the relationship between the individual and the therapist. Feeling understood and comfortable only helps reduce one's symptoms, encouraging self-acceptance, but also leads toward deeper work which promotes lasting change and a deeper experience of one's whole self.

My emphasis is in depth psychology with training in
Jungian
,psycho-dynamic and Narrative modalities.
Life is full of twists and turns we never expected to encounter. We feel alienated and out of balance. Sometimes we simply feel lost and do not know which direction we are facing. Feelings of depression, anxiety and/or physical symptoms can shadow this experience and lead us to feeling more isolated. When we find ourselves in just this situation we tend to view it as if we are stuck. To me, however, we are being called to transformation and more often than not we all need assistance as we walk that path.

I have studied and trained extensively in Psychoanalytic models of psychotherapy including Self-Psychology,
Jungian
Psychology and Attachment-Based Psychotherapy.
In a word, my approach to therapy is relational. I am at my best when I am centered, curious and genuinely engaged in my client's experience... exploring, nuancing and understanding their unique perspective and the struggles they are facing. I believe in the importance of finding the right "fit" between client and therapist and it is for that reason that I strive to be authentic and fully engaged in every session. My training, areas of specialization and personal style are well suited for those who might be seeking to go deeper in their understanding of themselves and their relationships.

The
Jungian
perspective can be a deeply spiritual psychology.
My practice is based on the theory of Analytical Psychology founded by Carl Jung. What this means to me that therapy is not about "fixing" but about "growing" by becoming aware of what is unconscious. Loss, trauma, anxiety, depression. These things happen to all of us sooner or later & like a force of nature, they need to be understood in order to be withstood. My goal is to help people become more conscious to better understand themselves & figure out their personal path through pain and towards individuation. I provide coaching & symptom management for immediate problems while nurturing seismic shifts for lasting change.

As a
Jungian
analyst, I take an active part in understanding what underlies your symptoms.
I see therapy as an opportunity for fostering personal growth and achieving emotional maturity. We all face challenges and struggles at various points in our lives. Failure to overcome these challenges can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression and may impact one's relationship with family and friends. While we can't change the past, therapy can help uncover long-standing patterns and behaviors that can get in the way of fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. I will help you understand the problems you are facing and find meaning and solutions that work best for you.

Jungian Therapists
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
