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 presence and deep listening, welcoming you to receptive space where you can hear yourself think and be met with support in 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 considerations can be openly discussed.

I've worked in Europe, Asia, and my native U.S., as educator (literature, writing, ethics) and therapist, and with 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 quandaries, including: stage-of-life or sense of identity; self-acceptance / appreciation; relationships; traumatic experience; and the 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 together and navigating your way forward.
