Welcome! I am a certified Jungian analyst in private practice, originally based in Washington state (since 1992) and now, remotely, in New York state. I am a graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland and a professional member of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association. I work with adults in long-term Jungian psychoanalysis and short-term therapy using Jungian theory and technique. I’m licensed as a mental health counselor (LMHC) in the State of Washington.
Jungian analysis involves dreamwork, reference to mythological symbols and imagery, focus on the deep unconscious and individuation, but many people who initially come to see me do so because they suffer from immediate practical life-problems like depression, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms, relationship problems, a philosophical or spiritual crisis — in other words specific problems, conflicts and issues that have made it difficult to live their lives with conscious awareness and integrity.
The following are some of the areas where I have expertise and experience in my practice:
Spiritual issues or concerns
Crisis of faith
Adult children of psychotic parent(s)
Trauma, including PTSD
Grief
Individuation
Men’s Issues
Work conflicts
Adult children of alcoholics
Depression
Anxiety
Attention Deficit Disorder
Dreamwork
Relationship Issues
Divorce
Mid-life crisis
Psychosomatic symptoms
Transition into Adulthood (e.g. vocation)
