My Approach to Helping

Thank you for your interest. I am a body-oriented Jungian expressive arts therapist and certified iyengar yoga teacher. My offices are in San Francisco and Corte Madera (Marin County), where I work with individuals and couples in English as well as in the two languages with which I grew up, French and German. I see psychotherapy as a creative process of healing, integration and growth in mind, body and spirit. You undertake this journey of healing and transformation within the safety of a nurturing, interactive therapeutic relationship, in which you can feel accepted and deeply listened to. I trust the natural healing power of the embodied psyche; a healing power which psychotherapy evokes, actualizes and strengthens to foster the positive and growth-oriented changes in your inner and outer life which you wish to see come about. I believe that the creative journey of healing and transformation leads to a renewed sense of aliveness, harmony, and meaning, to the growing ability for intimacy and joyful, creative engagement with self, others and the shared mystery of being.

More Info About My Practice

I am associate adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies in East-West Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Somatics. I also offer Continuing Education classes (groups and workshops) for MFTs and LCSWs., with a focus on creatively exploring and deepening the interplay of the mental-emotional body with the physical body to bring both more and more into conscious, joyous belonging.
