Jungian Therapists in Seattle, WA

Whether you are experiencing an especially difficult season or just want to learn more about why you get caught in painful, repetitive cycles, together we can explore what brings you to therapy and your personal goals for healing. Current neurobiology shows us that through a healthy therapeutic relationship we can learn new ways to relate to ourselves and others, enabling us to heal from past hurts and live into our full selves. I provide a welcome space for childen, adults, and couples to explore what is hurting them and to open up a path to deeper connection, meaning, and joy.

I am currently taking new clients on a limited basis. I work with teens and adult individuals. I specialize in trauma, which underlies many psycho-emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. However, I am chiefly interested in working with people experiencing important life transitions and challenges, especially when they feel stuck, confused, or lost. I am available for a short, no-cost phone interview to answer your questions about my practice.

I work with career professionals, adults, couples and teenagers who are experiencing difficulty in the office, at home or at school. I work with clients whose life experience is impacted by: trauma, relationships issues, midlife, leaving home, relocating, job loss, grief, anxiety, depression, culture shock or other significant life events including simply feeling stuck or at a loss. I bring over 30 years of professional and personal development to my work with individuals, families, adolescents, and couples. I hold a safe, secure, non-judgmental space in which to explore emotions, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.

My professional orientation is very eclectic. I combine a Jungian philosophy with CBT and DBT interventions with a client centered approach that involves a caring and insightful focus on self, others and community. My intention is to collaborate fully with each individual and to assist him or her in changing the trajectory of his or her life in a positive way. I view self discovery as an essential part of our unfolding experience together and value our time together. To become an agent of change in one's own life takes tremendous courage and strength; I can help facilitate this.

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 believe compassion is the heart of good therapy and do my best to help you feel safe and understood. I am accepting new clients. I work with adult individuals, 21-101, who are wanting support to grow and change. My specialties include anxiety, depression, aging, major life transitions, grief (including eco-grief), dreamwork, and the search for meaning in life.

My practice is built on the vigorous pursuit of consciousness aimed at “knowing thyself”, wedding therapy, insight, lifestyle, coaching, being and drawing inspiration from philosophy, art, science, ancient holistic healing traditions, nature, and music. Our collaboration will help you gain a mindful recognition of your woundedness and shadow(s), to raise your vibrational frequency, and help you unleash the mastery, joy and wisdom that inhabits you. You, your community, and our world as a whole need you to shine your light as brightly as you can. And I’m here to help you do just that. I know we can do it!

Are you at a crossroads? Throughout life, we experience "little deaths" that change our life’s course. Loss of a dream, health, family, the earth we stand on, job, marriage, relationship, country or beliefs can suddenly take us over a threshold, chosen or not into a new world where life no longer makes any sense. Our old tools and ways of coping or understanding our self or our world are no longer enough to pilot us to the other side of what can feel like a vast, deep and turbulent river. While often terrifying, these are the golden opportunities in which our true nature, our soul or purpose in life can be revealed.

"The journey we are on takes us in all different directions, testing us at every turn. There is help and hope. I have been honored to hear people's stories at various points of their journey; witnessing, observing, supporting, empathizing, listening and reflecting. Through hearing their stories, I have learned how fragile the human condition is, and at the same time, the empowering strengths and resiliency each one intrinsically has in adapting and surviving the difficulties put before them."

You may hear a calling to forge a new path toward a more meaningful life, one free of old patterns that no longer serve you or your relationships. The calling inspires you to go deeper within. You long to live life more fully with greater aliveness, creativity, and life purpose.

Perhaps you are here searching with the hope to find some relief for your suffering or solutions to your problems. Our work together would focus on your specific dilemmas and struggles as well as your singular values and strengths. The strategies and coping patterns that people use in relationships and life endeavors are generally outside of conscious awareness, and at times, these strategies are no longer effective. This is because they are based on unexamined assumptions about ourselves and others that have become outmoded - perhaps because we have changed or our circumstances have changed - but often both.

We are all alive and trying to learn something about living; we live the way that we feel. We do this automatically (and whether we know it or not) in relationship: in relating to our self and to others. Therefore, my philosophy is everything is emotional and relational and mindful; everything matters.

For me, “psychotherapy has to do with…people playing together.” My therapeutic approach is grounded in practicality, metaphor, and paradox.
