Professional statement:

I tend to work well with those who have a curiosity and desire to explore their dreams and approach imaginal ways of working in service of their healing and unfolding, individuals who sense that the world is undergoing rapid change and intuit that they have a gift to contribute, while remaining unclear about what that gift is, and those who struggle with feelings of depression and stagnancy or anxiety and uneasiness, and suspect that unprocessed emotions and/or traumas lie at the root of these difficulties, waiting to be compassionately encountered, and individuals who are open to psychospiritual dimensions of psychotherapy work.

Put very simply, the four primary therapeutic approaches I emphasize are:
depth psychology, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and imaginal attunement.

I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and have been extensively trained in depth-oriented psychotherapy, psychedelic-assisted therapies, and dream work.

Why do you value In-Person Therapy:

We are embodied beings, and the subtlety of our bodily instruments can not be overstated. While the exchange of words is a crucial element of the therapeutic encounter, this layer of language is only the surface of the profound depth of what passes between the therapeutic dyad. Most of what transpires is implicit and prior to language—gestures, direct transmission of emotions, energetic signatures, intuitive flashes. While teletherapy is convenient in many respects, much of these implicit layers of the therapeutic are lost in virtually-mediated encounters, much to the detriment of the healing and unfolding that therapy helps to support.
