I use cognitive, behavioral, and depth psychology techniques as clients’ needs and wishes dictate. I have a special interest in supporting clients' efforts to find and follow a meaningful life path and bring experience working with diverse age groups and the issues that arise around negotiating difficult life transitions -adolescence to adulthood and work, mid-life upheaval and changes, and retirement and growing older. I help clients look at troublesome behavior and disappointing outcomes as outward expressions of what they are struggling with at a deeper level. I encourage clients to look to their own mind and body, their dreams, and life events as sources of knowledge about themselves that they may have learned to ignore. The benefit is gaining greater objectivity about what's going on in their life and the capacity to make more courageous and authentic moves.

Initially I trained as a community psychologist with an interest in primary prevention of psychological problems and pursued a 30-year career in secondary school reform which included teaching adolescent development and providing technical assistance to teachers and school administrators. Only later in life did I realize my lifelong interest in Jungian psychology with re-training in psychotherapy that began at Pacifica Graduate Institute and ended at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich.
