My approach is strongly influenced by Zen Buddhist Philosophy and practice, Somatic Experiencing, Psychedelic/Transpersonal,Rogerian Therapy, Logotherapy, Transpersonal Psychology, Ecopsychology and Non-violent communication.
I am passionate about coming into the Here and Now with clients and believe in the healing power of being witnessed with presence and loving kindness. Using mindfulness based practices I focus on supporting clients in addressing issues of depression, anxiety, and identity issues. In session I emphasize bringing the client’s attention out of thoughts/stories and into their present moment bodily experience with the understanding that more immediate change can occur this way. I enjoy experiencing the client and counselor relationship as a microcosm of the client’s greater relational life, and an opportunity to do deep healing.

I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. My primary research focus is transpersonal experiences and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration. My philosophy is one of organicity, meaning that every individual is gifted with an innate healing wisdom and capacity for wholeness. As a former earth scientist and current artist, I incorporate lessons from nature and creative expression in my work, and seek to help others reconnect with the more subtle rhythms of psyche as a woven thread in the generative fabric of life.

The transpersonal perspective I have developed over the past 40 years, combining mindfulness practices, art therapy, journal dialogue, lucid dreaming, and archetypal studies is ideally designed to support individuals already following their own deep sense of calling professionally, as a parent, seeker, or community activist/global agent of planetary healing.
Are you at an important crossroads, more than ready for a change but wanting greater clarity before making life altering decisions? Do you have recurrent, disturbing, or just intriguingly vivid dreams and wonder what they might be attempting to convey? Are you experiencing persistent physical symptoms that you know, or suspect, might have their origins in repressed emotions, chronic stress, unresolved grief or trauma? Are you longing to deepen an intimate partnership and curious about addressing the 5 natural stages of development through which, once understood and honored, our relationships can evolve and thrive? See photos and my Linked In.

I view our human experience through a Transpersonal lens.
*Accepting New Clients* I help my clients recognize and work through their traumas, patterns, and blocks. They learn that deep within there is a truth that is yearning for recognition. At some level they are aware that this truth maps the path and purpose of their lives. We'll work together to find new paths of success and personal power. I reflect to them the wisdom and talents they hold within so that they may begin to own that identity and build confidence in becoming who they really are. I work from a framework that is Archetypal, Jungian, Somatic, Shamanic, Transpersonal, Holistic, Spiritual, and Vibrational/Energetic.

My perspective is rooted in Transpersonal, Gestalt, Existential/Humanistic, Jungian/Depth Psychology, Eco-Psychology, and Spiritual Guidance perspectives.
Everyone is on a journey of personal development; making meaning of their lives and experiences. I consider people to be the experts in their lives, who, when supported, are able to follow their natural drive for self-actualization. All human experiences are a valuable part of the process of self-emergence. Even the greatest challenges can offer insight and fuel for a path forward. I seek to draw out clients' strengths and support the cultivation of their inner guide. People are neither sick nor well. Rather, we are all in process, with personal depths that want for exploration.

I use a combination of Transpersonal & Jungian informed techniques, Mindfulness, & Buddhist Psychology.
You may not know it but you are already whole. However, for most of us, our whole, authentic self has been lost or covered over by life's trials, traumas, & family/societal demands. We build up complex defenses. Then we develop an inauthentic self to get by in a complex and confusing world. In our work together we will uncover and rediscover your wholeness, authenticity, and radiance. Clients who would most benefit may have had some past therapy. My clients are typically midlife or older (but not always) and may be experiencing a challenging life transition, or simply want a fuller, richer life.

I weave together In Depth Psychotherapy, Dynamic Trauma Modalities, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, and Transpersonal Therapy.
My clients find themselves caught in stuck places and repeating patterns. Even though they are smart and capable, they find themselves getting lost in a complex internal world with excessive thinking, overwhelming anxiety or depression, chronic feelings of insecurity, and unsatisfying relational patterns. My clients are looking for more freedom in their hearts and minds for deep and lasting transformation. My clients are ready to release the repeating internal narratives that prevent them from engaging with their life in a dynamic manner from a place of deep wholeness and authenticity.

People come to me usually for one of two reasons: (1) things are going well but they want to grow and evolve, (2) things are hard because of a past traumatic experience or a current situation, and healing and change is needed. Symptoms often include anxiety, depression, issues related to trauma, anger, grief and relationship issues. I work from a depth psychological perspective which means that I address the cause of symptoms as much as the symptoms themselves.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
