About My Clients
Are you looking for deeper ways of understanding the patterns in your life? Do you have challenges that seem to persist as undercurrents in your relationship to self and others? I work to bridge the conscious and unconscious realms through ancestral, intergenerational healing, and with dreams, myths and archetypes that often steer our lives in ways we are unaware of. I help you come into relationship with yourself and your life in a way that can support deep changes.
My Background and Approach
My clinical background began in 2001 when I worked as a hospice nurse for a decade. What I learned from the dying and supporting family members in their grief helps me hold a sacred space for clients in the complexity and change inherent in the human condition. I am a Family Constellation Therapy facilitator and trainer. My clients benefit from experiencing Family Constellations in therapy or as stand-alone constellations. We inherit our DNA and issues from the past through disturbances in our ancestral lineage. We work with highly-sensitive relational fields to realign family systems to restore the flow of love. I am also a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and can provide medication management coupled with psychotherapy. I am a candidate with the Inter-regional Society of Jungian Analysts, specializing in dreamwork, active imagination, myth, alchemy, and shadowwork, which helps deepen a relationship with the Self by strengthening your inner life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We live in a world of growing polarities and splits. These occur in the culture, families, and personal psyche. My work is to support the internal capacity of my clients to develop a 'both-and' consciousness that creates more space to be human. Often we are driven by unconscious forces such as archetypes, ancestors, and cultural complexes. Identifying what is being played out in one's life below the surface of awareness can create meaning and the agency to grow an authentic self. I work with metaphors, symbols, and images and often share with my clients that we spend most of our lives building an exoskeleton to keep us safe and develop a personality that reflects roles and projections. This exoskeleton can become armor that protects a fragile inner world. I work with my clients to grow an endoskeleton that is strong from the inside out, which supports the parts of us that are soft and vulnerable from freezing or being exiled by the external forces of life.
