How I came to this work
My story
I've spent my life drawn to what lives beyond the reach of ordinary language — to dreams, to symbols, to the threshold moments that crack a life open and demand something more than words.
My path into depth psychology began not in a clinical setting but in a theology classroom. After completing a Bachelor's degree in Theology, I went on to study counseling and psychology at Western Seminary — bringing with me a lifelong fascination with the sacred, the symbolic, and the stories we carry beneath the ones we tell.
Years after graduate school, a class on Carl Jung's Red Book turned on something essential in me. The Red Book — Jung's extraordinary record of his own descent into the unconscious — showed me that the inner life was not only worth exploring but worth trusting. I have been following that thread ever since, now studying depth psychology with a clinical cohort dedicated to bringing this tradition into contemporary practice.
Fifteen years into my work as a therapist, I have sat with thousands of threshold moments — the losses, the crossings, the passages that ordinary life does not prepare us for. It is in these moments that the most important work is possible.
What I believe
My conviction
That our culture's terror of death, loss, and descent is not incidental — it is the wound at the center of our collective fracturing.
We live in a time that has lost its sacred containers for death and grief. That turns away from endings. That mistakes avoidance for resilience. I believe that learning to be with our losses — to sit in the presence of death, of change, of what cannot be recovered — is among the most radical and necessary practices available to us. Not as an act of suffering, but as an act of healing. For humanity, and for the world.
This is what led me to studied in a cohort with Francis Weller in the Dagara tradition of Malidoma Somé — one of the most profound lineages of communal grief work and soul tending available in our time. It is why I studied as a death doula through End of Life Psychedelic Care. And it is why depth psychology — with its insistence on the intelligence of the unconscious and the wisdom of what we carry — feels less like a modality to me, and more like a way of being in the world.
What I brings to the room
My tools & training
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
I encountered ART when I needed something that could reach clients in places where language and storytelling could not. Certified in ART, I use it to work directly with the nervous system — bypassing narrative to meet distress at the level of image and sensation.
Learn about ARTThe I Ching
I have worked with the I Ching for years — with clients, with my community, and in my own life — as an oracle of change, a companion for critical thresholds, and a language for what the conscious mind hasn't yet found words for. The I Ching aids us in moving deeper into the psyche.
About the I ChingPACT Couples Therapy
Certified in the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy, I bring the same depth-oriented, body-aware attention to relationships that I bring to individual work — listening for the unconscious patterns that shape how two people find and lose each other.
