Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I have a practice in psychotherapy
and consultation. As a clinical social worker and a Jungian Psychoanalyst,
I work with children, adolescents, and adults. As a Jungian, I find my
commitment to promote one's understanding of oneself to be of prime importance.
By using the Jungian techniques of active imagination, dream analysis,
and sandtray, the patient is able to more fully search for one's deepest
self. The world benefits from each of us doing our "work".
I generally work long term, seeing a patient once per week. Through retreats
and labyrinth workshops, participants find themselves opening to different
levels of awareness. Individual and group psychotherapy can be offered
after these events. The idea is to work intensively over specified days
and come back together at later scheduled times in the year.
Everyone's process is unique. The therapeutic relationship is the most
important part of treatment and my style includes being "present",
using a sense of humor, gentle confrontation, and trying to listen to
you. I like to work with patients who honor their process and take their
work seriously, yet have an active engagement with the outer world.
I have trained with Dr. Rev. Lauren Artress to become a labyrinth facilitator.
Walking the labyrinth helps connect us to our inner world and at the same
time, to the outer one. Labyrinths are over 4,500 years old and are found
in many cultures all over the world. I use it primarily to help people
who are in bereavement and want to find a way to cope with their loss.
Also, it is a great tool to promote a "contemplative" attitude
towards one's life journey. We all know the saying, "life is a journey",
but do we know what we need to make it a pilgrimage?
