As a bay area counselor and psychotherapist, I assist clients with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship impasses, anger management, trauma, job-related stress, burnout, bereavement, conflicts about sexuality, and establishing healthy boundaries. I utilize Jungian and existential psychotherapy, evocative dreamwork, meditation, psychosynthesis, guided imagery, the rejuvenating practices of yoga and breath awareness, and other spiritual principles and lifestyle changes to aid you in meeting your current challenges.
Bay Area Counselor
Therapy is a process of determining pathways for change. I apply the principles of developmental psychology to clarify maturational tasks and support your commitment to your goals and intentions. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families establish healthier relationships and guide couples through a process of clearing resentments, repairing emotional injuries, and improving their communication about sex, money, and life planning.
Currently, all sessions are conducted via telephone or Skype.
Licensed MFT since 1991.
Spiritual Depth Psychology: A New Book
In my new book: Dreamwork in Holistic Psychotherapy of Depression: An Underground Stream that Guides and Heals (Routledge, 2017), I discuss how dreamwork can help relieve depression, in both long-term and time-limited psychotherapy, and in self-treatment. The text explores how dreams shed light on issues contributing to depression, including drug and alcohol abuse, divorce, death and bereavement, conflicts about sex, parenting, health, and body image, as well as workplace stress and burnout, and ancestral, inter-generational trauma.
I synthesize Jungian and existential psychotherapy, detailing how attention to archetypal symbolism brings into immediate focus new responses to pressing life challenges. The book contends that allowing oneself to be affected by dream images and narratives promotes emotional, relational, and spiritual rejuvenation. It will interest those who experience depression, as well as their therapists and loved ones. The book details a method that can be practiced by couples and family members, and adapted to group work in a variety of clinical, educational, and occupational settings—any place where people feel safe and free to explore, reveal, and discover themselves.
