Jungian psychotherapist | LMHC | LMFT
I am a psychotherapist living in Anacortes, Washington. Drawing primarily upon the tradition of analytical psychology, I work in private practice locally and across the USA with individuals and couples facing a wide range of concerns. My prior clinical work includes group practice, community mental health for children and families, and inpatient psychiatric settings. I am currently a Diploma Candidate in Psychoanalysis at the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich. I previously served as Adjunct Faculty in the Counseling Psychology department at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I also earned my MA. I hold membership in professional associations including the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists and the International Society for Psychology as the Discipline of Interiority. I have also worked at the OPUS Archives and Research Center, archiving the manuscript collections of depth-psychological luminaries James Hillman and Marion Woodman.
