My orientation is relational and insight-oriented. I believe we all have inner resources that are unrecognized or under-appreciated, and working with expressive media is an excellent way to reveal those capacities. However, regardless of whether or not we make art, I also view the therapeutic process as inherently creative. I’m interested in your story in any way you choose to tell it.

My work is informed by Jungian psychology, with its emphasis on creative individuation and the on-going process of becoming more authentically oneself. More recently, I began to deepen my work through training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which utilizes the therapeutic relationship itself to uncover and heal the pain of old wounds.

I also practice spiritually integrated therapy, which means that I respond with respect and compassion to each person’s spiritual condition and values. Spirituality is a significant part of identity that is often left out of the therapeutic dialogue, but many of the existential anxieties people express are essentially spiritual questions, having to do with the search for meaning and purpose. Your spiritual concerns are welcome in the therapeutic conversation.

The creative mind plays

with the objects it loves.
