Words of Wisdom:

“Whenever people are totally caught up in what they are doing - their passion - a timeless quality exists in which they are expressing the real essence of their authentic self. And this genuine essence, this authentic self, thereby helps their inner love grow.”

~Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD

Therapeutic Specialties

For over 10 years, I've worked very successfully with individuals, couples and families. I find that a client's willingness and openness can activate tremendous growth. In working with each individual's process, I balance honoring resistance and gently encouraging movement into new terrain. I employ a collaborative approach with clients, drawing on an eclectic mix of therapeutic approaches:

In addition, for clients who wish to do Depth Work, I draw on some less traditional approaches. In many cases, these can yield tremendous healing opportunities in relatively few sessions. Powerful insights emerge because the unconscious mind is engaged at a level that bypasses conscious awareness. These include:

I have facilitated important client experiences working with Shadow aspects and Archetypes. I heartily support clients to take practical and intentional action back into their everyday lives and to reinforce their insights and experience using expressive means.

 

Spiritual Psychology

In Spiritual Psychology, healing and wellness derive from focus on the whole person. Spiritual psychology has emerged as an important psychological approach in the last two decades. In its treatment model, it considers the sum of all four levels of a person's experience: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Moreover, the spiritual realm is distinguished from religious, in that it includes any experience that gives a sense of purpose and meaning and supports devotion to a larger force (religious, artistic, social) beyond oneself.
