“The doctor can only look on and try to understand the attempts at restitution and cure which nature herself is making… In our own case, as might be expected, the unconscious produces compensating symbols which are meant to replace the broken bridges, but which can only do so with the active co-operation of consciousness.”

— Carl Jung

"In other words, these symbols must, if they are to be effective, be 'understood' by the conscious mind; they must be assimilated and integrated… I therefore, consider it my main task to examine the manifestations of the unconscious in order to learn it’s language."

— Carl Jung

  • I incorporate psycho-somatic-transpersonal techniques that I have formally studied and as well as experienced myself. Each has its unique contributions; overlapping and complementing each other as needed.
  • I feel comfortable working with adults on events related to depression, anxiety, nervousness, traumatic events, grief and loss, relationships, and significant life events.
  • I am here to accompany you into any questions that your life has brought whether they are present, future, or past, as well as situations you want to explore whether they have come suddenly, or have become repetitive.
  • Or if you are simply curious and want to have a clearer understanding of yourself in relation to your life and meaningful relationships you’ve had.
  • I believe you have the potential to find and to use the appropriate tools to help you have a clearer and deeper understanding of yourself, as well as to choose to make changes if desired.
  • Sessions are controlled by you. It is important you feel how often you want to come. Some people choose to come frequently and others once or few times. You may come enough to focus on a particular event. You may come for an indefinite period of time as often as every week for more support and depth.
  • If you have an interest in working with expressions of your Self through: painting, poetry, story, myth, song, dream, dance, movement or meaningful life occurrences we can focus on that as well.
