“Need help improving your relationship? Resolving a problem? Need support as you make changes in your life and move towards your true goals? I help individuals and couples develop effective solutions for resolving lingering problems and overcoming challenges that keep you from moving forward towards the goals that you value and desire. Deep down, we generally know what it is we need. I pay close attention, and reflect your own inner wisdom back to you in a way that is practical and often liberating. The way becomes more clear as you decide to simply, and more truly, become yourself.
With over 14 years experience as a clinician, my areas of expertise include: individual and couples counseling focusing on issues of personal growth and development, relationship issues, stage-of-life transitions, stress reduction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, gay and lesbian issues, and Jungian-oriented psychoanalytic work and dream interpretation.
In addition, I teach public workshops on personal growth and dream interpretation nationally. I am also a Training Analyst and Clinical Supervisor at the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern California. I invite you to call for a free phone consultation, and look forward to talking with you.”

Join this warm and relaxed small-group setting as we work with our dreams, the “living images” that reflect our loves, our conflicts, and the as-yet unknown possibilities that await us. Dreams tell us more about the person we are, while leading us to the person we may more fully become through personal healing and growth. By relating to the images and symbols of our dreams we acquire a better understanding of ourselves and gain fuller insight into our lives – past – present – and future. Suitable for beginning and advanced students.

In this five hour weekend workshop we will address the reality of the psyche from a Jungian point of view, which includes our personal self, the personal unconscious, and beneath that, the collective unconscious we all share, which is beyond time and space. In this experiential day, each individual will have the opportunity to explore personal material using Jung’s principles of the healing and regenerative benefits that come from a conscious engagement with the unconscious, leading to authenticity and self-fulfillment, and to explore ways that these experiences can continue to develop and unfold.
