About
My primary theoretical orientation is Jungian, which means that I focus on unconscious processes, including dreams, to help people identify root causes of problems, work through personal issues, and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. This work is deeply personal and ultimately spiritual in nature. At times, other approaches are necessary. Because everyone is different, I tailor treatment according to individual needs.
For some time, the field of psychology has been open to the idea that spirituality has an important role to play in mental health. For example, studies show that people who are involved in spiritual life have lower rates of anxiety and despair. In my work, I have found this to be true among my patients. For this reason, I welcome discussion of spirituality in the context of psychological work.
