Always trust yourself and your own feeling… If it turns out that you are wrong, the natural growth of your inner life will eventually guide you to other insights.
–Rainer Maria Rilke
My practice of psychotherapy draws on Jungian, existential, and relational psychologies as well as the world’s great spiritual paths–with emphasis on the Buddhist and Daoist traditions.
Psychotherapy means, literally, healing the soul, offering the possibility of relieving suffering through becoming as fully as possible who we are, becoming free to make and live with our own choices, and developing the compassion for ourselves and others that comes with full acceptance of our own journey.
This is more than a cognitive or insight-oriented process–it is an energetic, embodied practice involving dreams, intuition, meditation, and imaginal process, with the intention of clarifying our unique purpose in this life.
I offer psychotherapy both in person and by telehealth.
All appointments are 50-55 minutes, but extended sessions are also available, especially for those wishing to incorporate acupuncture and/or those visiting from outside Anchorage.
