It is an honor to accompany individuals into the psyche where our deepest wounds are sometimes hidden. Healing energies can often be found in those depths, stimulating growth toward a more whole, authentic and satisfying existence. Sometimes the pain is on the surface, and symptom relief is necessary to allow the individual to return to a more effective functioning level. This can be accomplished through a combination of cognitive approaches (i.e., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and body-centered approaches (i.e., focusing, embodied dream work, mindfulness).

I have a background in Jungian-based psychotherapy, client centered therapy and other evidence-based practices. My clientele includes individuals with serious psychological issues as well as those primarily interested in furthering their own personal or spiritual growth. I am sensitive to the profound impact of past trauma on current happiness and success.
With over 50 years of regular practice and teaching of Transcendental Meditation, an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies, and a Ph.D. with emphasis in depth psychology, I am comfortable working with individuals from all religious traditions as well as those seeking their own path toward spirituality.
