Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

I enjoy working with people who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation/identity, career, meaning-of-life issues, eating disorders, life transitions, relationship issues and others are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and a clearer sense of direction. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introduction to formerly-unknown aspects of one's own being. I view myself as a guide and companion on this journey.

I specialize in depth-oriented, Analytic work incorporating a Jungian, psycho-spiritual perspective which may include dreamwork, art, imagination, and Sandplay Therapy. I also incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral aspects. I have many years of experience working with individuals, couples, children, families and the Gay and Lesbian Community.

I am experienced utilizing Play Therapy with children and Sandplay Therapy with adults and children. Along with dreams, the unconscious may use these channels to convey what cannot be spoken in words. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (CAADAC) in California.
