Hello, Welcome!
I have deep roots in Jungian and Gestalt Therapy. I explore our feminine aspects that have been repressed and wish to be reclaimed.
I help people restore their intuition, innate creativity, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they have had to abandon to survive.
I received a BA degree in Liberal Arts from Antioch University in 1998, an MA degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2002. In 2005 I became licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California. In 2026 I became licensed in Washington State.
Imaginal Art Therapy (Psychotherapy)
Individual, Group and Consultations
I sometimes use images and card-based methods as part of psychotherapy.
In addition to my therapy training, I have extensive experience in the visual arts as well as working with images to heal. I went to The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, worked in the motion picture industry, and am a SoulCollage® facilitator. I also have used the Tarot cards for over 40 years and am well versed in archetypes as well as astrology.
I love helping people find their voices and develop their intuition through images using psychodrama and parts work, as well as using SoulCollage® cards to move deeper into the psyche.
I may use the following in working with SoulCollage® cards:
- Psychodrama
- Parts Work
- Dream Work
- Readings that open up emotional processing
Additionally, I facilitate a SoulCollage® group that is therapeutic, but not therapy.
Inner Life
As I’ve lived and grown, I’ve become more aware of the importance of keeping an eye on our inner lives. It is so easy to get caught up in survival. It is in our inner lives we find parts of ourselves that need our attention so that they may develop and grow. As we are confronted by difficult events in our lives, these parts are calling to us to look within so that we may attend to areas that are wounded and wish to grow and more fully integrate into who we are.
As you grow and evolve, you may find the need to step out of the noise and into the quiet. This is where we replenish and recharge. This is where we ponder and gain insights and new perspectives. Give yourself permission to nurture this part of yourself.
Life is a practice, similar to any other practice. It requires focusing on staying awake moment-to-moment. Shifting from the habitual and automatic to a more organic way of being is called for. It asks us to recognize that we can transform our lives into things of beauty if we allow ourselves to open to new positive ways of being.
