As a Jungian and Transpersonal Therapist, psychotherapy is based on the concepts and principles of Depth Psychology.

Sandplay as a psychotherapeutic process is employed as is Dream Interpretation and other established methods of integrating unconscious material. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is used to facilitate desensitization of traumatic experience. My major interests are mid life transitions and transpersonal experience with a strong focus on growth through psychological and spiritual maturation. Yet I also value my inner work with those with other needs and with children for the wonder they bring with them through their dreams, thoughts and play. It is a meaningful privilege to be present and accompany others during their inner journeys .

I facilitate weekly dream interpretation circles for those committed to their own inner journey through group process. I teach workshops and seminars in Dream Interpretation, the Shadow, Mythology, Symbology, and Depth Psychology. Dreams are a royal road inward revealing dynamics within both the personal and the collective unconscious.

Sandplay, as developed by Frau Dora kalff, is a psychotherapeutic approached to the psyche which is a nonverbal form of therapy capable of reaching preverbal areas of the psyche and activating and integrating psychic contents through the process of symbolic creation. I studied and trained with Frau Kalff for 20 months in 1982-83 when I also attended the Jung Institute in Zurich.

EMDR is a clinical treatment originated through the work of Dr. Francine Shapiro. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for trauma, both current and repressed. Using saccadic eye movements or other left-right stimulation EMDR helps reprocess disturbing thoughts and memories. Desensitization takes place on a neuro-physiological level leading to adaptive resolution of trauma.

I am in private Practice on the island of Maui. I also work through phone appointments with people on other islands and on the mainland.
