Jungian
training and Bodypsychotherapy formation underlie and complement my solid yet eclectic experience in treating a wide range of clients--children, adults,couples--and problems.
I don't believe in diagnostic labeling; yet we don't waste time reinventing the wheel. The personal issues you want to confront and resolve in therapy and the unique ways in which you are stuck call upon my creativity, long, varied professional experience of theories and methods--from Freud to object relations to body work--and life experience of other cultures and modalities to find new ways for you to healthily move forward.

My primary specialty is
Jungian
and psychodynamic in approach.
My most often repeated statement regarding client's is that I am looking for individuals who want to do the work. It is important for a client to to only identify, needs, issues and goals, but to move towards understanding why one's feelings are the way they are in the first place. There is a reductive element to therapy, where past history and patterns are discovered. The client can come to an understanding of how these dynamics continue to influence present day behavior. There is also the teleological aspect of therapy. Understanding one's self must then lead to finding out the future direction and decisions that lay ahead.

My primary training is in
Jungian
therapy but I incorporate other contemporary modalities.
Sometimes we feel like we want to change, or perhaps are forced to by circumstances or just the twists of human fate. Sometimes we understand what is happening, sometimes we feel lost, captured by anxiety, depression, addictions or even less-defined feelings of unease. Jung once wrote, "for life does not have only a yesterday, nor is it explained by reducing today to yesterday. Life has also a tomorrow, and today is understood only when we can add to our knowledge of what was yesterday the beginnings of tomorrow." Together we ask how the past has led to this moment and how the future may offer potential for new growth and healing.

Congratulations on this first step toward beginning (or revisiting) psychotherapy. I believe psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can be deeply gratifying, life-changing practices, and that positive and productive treatment begins with a safe, trusting, confidential, and empathic client/therapist alliance.

As a
Jungian
Analyst in Training, I believe in the power of our dreams and imagination as a path to unlock the mysteries of the unconscious.
"Let your hope which is your highest good and highest ability lead the way and serve you as a guide in the world of darkness" - C.G. Jung. Therapy nurtures the power of the human spirit and its vast capacity for development and transformation. My approach emphasizes compassion and communication as key components in building, healing, and maintaining healthy relationships. I believe that encouragement, understanding, knowledge and action promote growth in the family system and in each individual family member.

My approach to therapy is informed by a
Jungian
and relational perspective. The aim of this work is to help a person deepen their understanding of themselves and their interactions with others, alleviate suffering and encourage curiosity about themselves and those around them.
Jungian
therapy fosters the capacity for self-expression and creativity and promotes a symbolic, image-driven understanding of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, marital, family and relationship problems, as well as questions about sexual/gender identity, body image and somatic experience.

Jungian
Oriented Approach to exploring your unique individual potential.
Feeling Stressed? Unhappy? Overwhelmed? The first step for you now is to BREATHE, next consult an experienced, well-trained therapist with whom you connect. We all face challenges in life that can feel overwhelming. During these stressful times, we may not be able to clearly see our options due to our own stress levels, emotional pain, & confusion over what is best. In individual or group therapy, I can help you by providing a compassionate, safe, non-judgmental space to express your deepest thoughts & feelings.

I am a
Jungian
Analyst with over 20 years of experience as both a therapist and supervisor in a variety of settings including psychiatric hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics and my private practice. I focus my practice on individual adults and couples who experience relationship issues, anxiety, depression and are searching for meaning in their lives. I explore repeating patterns that prevent individuals from living life to the fullest and try to find other possibilities in dealing with difficult situations. I believe that it is when we experience these difficult times that the greatest potential and most fulfilling change can occur.

As a
Jungian
psychoanalyst, I can work with dreams and other imaginative processes to see more deeply into the whole psyche, beyond the conscious perspective.
We all have the fundamental need to grow into and express who we are meant to be. However, this natural process can be inhibited by our need to adapt to pressures of family and society, by trauma, or by seemingly unresolvable contradictions in our personality. The goal of therapy is to bring this latent process to life, and to make it more conscious. A good therapeutic relationship will help you to be more receptive to yourself and to notice and honor these inner workings.

You may want help with your closest relationships, or with your creative work, or with your job, or because you seek a sense of meaning, or of community. Perhaps you want to change your own behavior, but have not been able to make that change happen. You may be the adult child of a narcissistic mother or father who sees that you are still affected by your parent's problems. You may have heard or read something about
Jungian
therapy that appealed to you. Perhaps you have tried CBT and now want to work more in depth. You probably want relief from some form of pain or isolation.

A certified
Jungian
psychoanalyst, I devote significant attention to dreams.
According to C. G. Jung, “Every psychic advance ... arises from the suffering soul" (CW11, para 497). Living can be brutal and isolating, draining us of meaning and a positive sense of worth. Alone, you have been carrying those burdens too long. You’re searching for an informed, non-judgmental, compassionate listener. The search can be frustrating and overwhelming. You need someone who will hold your most private concerns and help identify effective and lasting solutions, to neutralize your suffering … someone who gets down to the root of your pain, not just the surface symptoms.

The capacity to deal with the unknown and find psychological balance are at the core of
Jungian
analysis.
Analysis is the process by which one works towards the individuation, the becoming of one’s own self. It is through this work that one heals. My therapeutic journey addresses the past, the present and the future in order to deal with the psychological questions of depression, anxiety, relationships, love, loss, life transitions, trauma, family dynamics, illness, addictions, creative blocks, identity, orientation and last but not least, meaning.

My approach is eclectic, based on psychodynamic practices,
Jungian
analysis, deep empathy, Buddhist philosophy, and mindfulness.
At some point along the way, we all struggle with something. Family, career, relationships, depression, anxiety---something---and we need help to get unstuck and move towards living a more satisfying and authentic life. This is where psychotherapy comes in. I truly believe in its power to bring about personal transformation, help us better understand ourselves, and work through life's difficulties. Life isn't easy, and often, seeking help isn't either. But finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is the courageous first step.

My work is informed by a wide variety of influences that include
Jungian
and relationship therapy (Imago), EMDR as well as cross cultural and spiritual studies.
A deep connection between therapist and client is key to forming the trust necessary to overcome challenges in one's life. These blocks keep us from realizing our potential and can manifest in a variety of ways, from depression and anxiety, to relationship issues and job dissatisfaction. My approach to therapy is to use self understanding and awareness as a mechanism for change. Treatments could include psychoanalytic and psychodynamic techniques to access unconscious material or a more problem focused, short term approach depending on the issues at hand. I also work with Trauma using EMDR.

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.
