Jungian Analytical Psychology
I like to work with both scientific and transpersonal or spiritual perspectives.
I see the healthy self as a composite of multiple interactive opposites in tension.
The personal and the collective unconscious bring together the uniqueness of our individuality, the universality of our humanity, and the diversity of our world cultures.
We will connect the objective exploration of dreams, rêveries, and active imagination to subjective and archetypal interpretations.
I see analysis and psychotherapy as an intense and exciting healing journey that takes us closer to wholeness, to individuation in the context of our communities. On the way we identify our complexes, the unconscious core patterns of crystallized emotions that alter the way we live our current life.
I take an interpersonal approach in which both therapist and client work together in a containing relationship that promotes healing and creates aliveness.
Transgenerational Transmission of Historical and Cultural Trauma
I believe that historical and cultural forms of oppressions impact one's personal life. I have a particular interest in working with those who carry a painful intergenerational inheritance that needs healing.
Diversity Issues: LGBTQ+/Queer - Privilege - Social Activism
I believe that we are all unique and precious and that we all deserve respect no matter what ethnicity, culture, country of origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, size, or class we identify with. I am passionate about working with individuals on issues of diversity and about helping each of them reclaim their identities and power.
