About Me

I provide a warm space to explore the deeper layers of your inner world. Using Jungian Depth Psychotherapy, we can uncover hidden patterns, perhaps through dream work. We might also gently release stored tension with body-focused methods like TRE®. This approach suits those seeking profound self-understanding and integration of mind and body. It helps foster lasting change for a more authentic life.

Approach

Alchemical astrology and dream imagery often become practical maps in session, guiding how I help you notice emotions, habits and body signals. In my Santa Cruz office or online, sessions move between gentle body exercises, contemplative reflection and imaginal work at a measured pace, with simple practices to try between meetings. We attend to patterns rather than blame, tracking small shifts in feeling and relational moments that invite integration and release. Those facing life transitions, lingering trauma echoes or relationship shifts often find this steady, embodied way clarifying.
