My practice of psychotherapy draws on Jungian, existential, and relational psychologies as well as the world's great spiritual paths, with emphasis on the Buddhist and Daoist traditions. This is more than a cognitive or insight-oriented process: it is an energetic, embodied practice involving dreams, intuition, meditation, and imaginal process, with the the understanding that clarifying our unique purpose in this life is an essential element of healing psyche and body. I'm also a licensed acupuncturist and for those who are interested I incorporate acupuncture and other aspects of Chinese medicine in psychotherapy.
As both a clinical psychologist and a licensed acupuncturist, I work with people with emotional, physical, spiritual, and mind-body concerns of all kinds, including anxiety, depression, personal and intergenerational trauma, chronic/recurrent pain, sleep / insomnia, fatigue and energy, and many others.
I also appreciate working with people with concerns related to identity, direction, and life path, who are feeling stuck, unwell, or generally unfulfilled, or who would like to deepen their spirituality, sense of embodiment, and connection to their own energy and sense of purpose.
