Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I’ve been licensed in California for over 3 decades supporting individuals, couples, groups, children in play therapy, and entire families – across the life span (ages 3 – 83). Each of us has patterns/themes that express or describe how we experience ourselves, others, our culture, the world. I’m grateful to help clients discover those, entirely as a collaborative process of exploration. My approach, therefore, is client-centered, cognitive-behavioral with a touch of Jungian perspective, family systems and mindfulness – oriented.
My professional history includes employment as Intake Coordinator/case manager and therapist in a sub-acute care facility, individual – couples – group – family therapist on multi-disciplinary teams in outpatient, school and residential care settings; working with teams of psychiatrists, social service agencies such as Children’s Services, County Mental Health, Juvenile Justice system/Probation, and within educational settings – both public and private schools.
I’m a uniquely practical yet holistic person with a wide-angle lens, big-picture approach to supporting individuals, couples, and families on the path to greater social and emotional health. My goal, always, is to enliven clients’ perspective to experience relief and stronger skills to deal with stress/anxiety, depression, relationship issues at home and in their employment/professional lives, trauma and abuse, & parenting issues within the home environment, as well as with their children’s educational needs at school.
I’m totally at home with online tele-therapy, and your time with me offers an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happy life; and to take the first steps towards decisions you will personally make towards Change. I am absolutely with you, to support these steps in practical and measurable ways. Welcome!
