Imagine being listened to with complete attention, without interruption or judgment in a confidential, supportive environment. I am both practical and holistic in my commitment to focus short-term on a specific problem or, to work over time to find what is lacking in your life that causes suffering. Through exploring and making transitions in relationships, career, creativity, sexuality and spirituality including dreams, we will solve or get beyond obstacles and grieve losses together, and relate them to the present. I can help guide the process in a compassionate and timely fashion, mediate any pain and give your future hope.
As a licensed psychologist, a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist, and Health Psychology Group Facilitator, I have a wide variety of specialties to include: adjustment and transition, loss, grief and bereavement, parenting, depression and suicide, personality disorders, and chronic illness. I treat adults of all ages, whether individually, couples or groups.
Jungian-oriented psychotherapy is unique to my practice because I have found that it can be used not only with individual therapy and dreamwork, but with couples, families and groups, and is able to be applied to those with chronic illness.
