ISAP Analysts

Whatever your current frame of mind, I’ll meet you in that first courageous step, accompanying you as you seek a more centered, life-affirming state of being. I offer you presence and deep listening, welcoming you to receptive space where you can hear yourself think and acknowledge whatever you may be feeling. Together we can identify strategies for managing your particular situation while honouring deeper resources within yourself.

Join me in an exploratory session, free of charge, for me to listen, and to summarize the spectrum of psychotherapeutic offerings, as context for Jungian psychotherapy/analysis that most deeply informs my practice, so you can decide what is right for you. If need be, I can refer further, as most important is for you to find the right person with whom to entrust your journey. Financial restrictions can also be openly discussed.

I've worked in Europe, Asia, and my native U.S., as educator (literature, writing, ethics) and therapist, and with benefit of a Masters in International Management, guided M.B.A. students to deeper self-awareness in preparation for taking on higher level leadership. In private practice, clients from a range of cultural backgrounds have successfully worked through pressing personal matters of: stage-of-life or sense of identity; self-acceptance and appreciation; relationships, work and personal; traumatic experience; and/or search for deeper meaning and fulfillment. In times of distress or questing, problem-solving or withstanding the demands of creative waiting, I hold sacred the privilege of confidential collaboration, eliciting and navigating your way forward.
