Also, as a Jungian and Typology Coach, I can provide assessment tests and tools that offer MBTI-like and archetypal perspectives of each person's individual unique ways of functioning.
With advanced training in Jungian, depth psychology, psychodynamics, CBT, DBT, and creative modalities, I meet with clients weekly or as needed in a collaborative process to guide clients to understand dreams and develop integrity-filled, meaningful lives. By gaining vital knowledge of the psyche, clients learn to understand themselves and feel empowered to address issues and make inner and outer changes. This is especially helpful for helping professionals, people seeking self development, and professors, as those helping others need support at times too.

Jungian Psychoanalysis is a matter of heart and mind.
I start where you are at the moment, to listen to your story. "Clinical diagnosis are important but they do not help... the crucial thing is the story." (Jung 1961). You may be undergoing a depression, or loss of soul, feeling disoriented, where the outside world may not have answers. Or perhaps you are looking for meaning to deepen your understanding of your self. Together we can look at what needs tending using the imagination. We will also listen to the unconscious in the body. I offer a vessel for healing. I will be a companion as you go deep within yourself to retrieve the forgotten parts of yourself.

In broad terms, anyone interested in Jungian psychology, the theory and practice developed by Carl Jung, may resonate with my approach. We’ll talk through whatever you want, but I’ll also encourage you to delve beneath the surface.

I specialize in working with sexual desire discrepancy and intimacy. Sexual desire discrepancy is when one person in a relationship wants sex more or differently than their partner(s). It is very common and occurs in otherwise happy and healthy relationships. Although common, desire discrepancy can lead to severe relational discord. Through a combination of psychosexual education, deep couple's work, and a compilation of the leading sexual desire discrepancy theories, I have designed a way of addressing desire discrepancy that offers you and your partner(s) a new way to be sexual together. It is not easy work, but it is rewarding.

Healing is a circular & cyclical journey with many paths, choices, & discoveries. We meet you where you are today, acknowledge that you are ever-changing, ever evolving. We know how hard it is to ask for help…to embrace, hold, and make space for change…we know how challenging it is to have a dissolution of self, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. Together, we uncover & compost outdated & stifling beliefs, unrealistic expectations or goals, let go of worries & fears, discover self-sabotage, burrow through behaviors & deeply hidden feelings & emotions that keep us stuck, fearful, unable to step into empowered selves.

I offer an integration of psychotherapy and Yoga Therapy in tandem sessions. I am both a licensed health psychologist and a certified yoga therapist. My clients tend to be high functioning adults seeking private holistic therapy and pain relief. I assist with relationships, stress, back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, physical disabilities and medical conditions. Supported yoga postures, proper alignment, and longer holds facilitate deeper feeling, fuller opening, greater release. Yoga Therapy enhances rehabilitation of injuries naturally using gravity, tensegrity and breath to improve circulation and create more space in tight joints, relieving tension and fatigue, facilitating clarity and insight.

A lot of my clients (and arguably people in general) need to feel understood. In a couple's environment especially, each individual usually wants to feel seen by their partner. Sometimes it's hard for that to happen though, especially when both parties are feeling hurt. A lot of the times, clients' goals are then to communicate better, which makes sense; if communication was articulated and received my clearly then we'd understand each other more and maybe run into less issues. I come in and try to help my clients feel understood by others, but also I try to help them feel understood by themselves too.

Does your life seem to be less fulfilling and you do not know why? Look no further. Your best life is waiting. I work to provide a safe space and collaborate with clients on finding their inner strengths to utilize them in building resiliency. I work to guide children ages four and older, adolescents, adults, couples, and first responders to reach their goals and experience a happier life. Given my experience working in emergency rooms, outpatient, residential and schools, I understand how the impact of these challenges can often leave people feeling unable to participate in life roles that lead to life satisfaction.

I work with people looking to move beyond roadblocks in their lives. These roadblocks can be as straightforward as learning how to manage anxiety or depression, or as complex as figuring out how to thrive or survive in an important relationship that's currently under stress. While many clients seek help with specific problems such as marriage, parenting, maneuvering workplace dynamics, or getting through specific crises, others are trying to find ways to overcome personal hurdles in their lives and move beyond their own self-perceived limitations. Whatever the concern, we tackle it together and develop a plan for moving forward.

Finding meaning and purpose is the foundation of my therapeutic approach, and I integrate talk therapy with body awareness and mindfulness to aid clients in achieving their goals. A key factor in determining overall health is resiliency, and we will work to meet their mental, physical, social, and spiritual needs. By discovering who they want to be in the future we develop a roadmap to get them there. Staying present and using those goals as a guide we focus on practical tools to enable change. Using trauma-informed techniques and protocols, clients will explore their history while moving toward a whole-person model of wellness.

I am aware the path to healing can be a bumpy and uncomfortable one. I provide a compassionate and empathetic approach to this healing process. My approach looks at our internal wounds that left untreated, continue to cause pain. I like to ask, in the words of Dr. Gabor Mate’, ‘why the pain, not why the addiction?' We know using a substance or behavior is how we cope with the pain that feels unmanageable. Our pain, ‘dis-ease’, and dis-comfort often stems from unresolved grief & loss and are the result of 'what happened to us'. Let's look at what happened to us instead of what is wrong with us. I believe this approach decreases shame

Jungian Therapists
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
