My approach is defined in the following statement:
"For two personalities to meet is like mixing two different chemical substances: if there is any combination at all, both are transformed." ~ C.G. Jung
Like Jung, I establish a relationship with the client and follow their lead as we delve into the origins of their difficulties. Through paying attention to the soul, the unconscious, symbolic and hidden aspects of our lives and psyches, I help the client develop the ability to dialogue with, their unconscious. I believe that most pathology is an psyche's attempt at cure so finding out what our psyche is saying is a first step towards wellness and greater wholeness in our lives. Through psychotherapy clients find greater meaning and purpose in their lives, and even their wounds by discovering and co creating their own narrative, or mythos in life that speaks to their own personal individuation journey.
Psychotherapy, and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
I am also an ordained Minster certified Yoga Instructor, and have training in Tarot, and Astrology. I specialize in spiritual diversity, and have worked with Mystical Christian, Pagan, New Age, and Spiritually oriented clients. I also have certification from Journey Clinical’s training program in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, and am a Reiki Master.
My purpose in life is to help others find greater meaning and purpose in their lives in a creative and engaging way that benefits all beings. I align what the ancient’s have called, “The Great Work” with the Jungian “Individuation Process”: The birth of a fully realized human being awakened to their place in a living Cosmos, the Immortal Body and the Genius within.
My approach is integrative, bringing people together:
Depth Psychology of Carl Jung
Transpersonal Psychology
Yoga
Eastern and Western Mystical Philosophy and Practice
I offer 1:1 Depth oriented Talk Therapy, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy remotely in California. I also see a few clients face to face in Mar Vista CA.
