I have a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology, two Masters degrees (one in counseling and one in psychology), and a BA in Education. I have 35 years of counseling experience, including a one-year clinical Masters internship in healing trauma, plus a five-year clinical Doctoral internship that focused on working with adults using Object Relations and Attachment Theories.
My specialties are Jungian Theory; spiritual growth; couples work, relationships and sexuality (including cnm & enm); family systems, family-of-origin issues and multigenerational family healing; using non-ordinary states of consciousness for the purposes of healing and personal transformation; consciousness studies; social issues & healing collective traumas; and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion, diversity & all forms of oppression due to societal consttraints.
When I am not working with students I am working on my first book about Buddhism, some of the topics just mentioned, eco-psychology, environmental sustainability, and related ideas; and on my second book about using family systems therapy to support couples, families, and individuals who want to work on their relationships and family histories.
I studied with Stan & Christina Grof in the ealry 1990s--and am therefore a certified Grof Holotropic Breathwork practitioner--and have 32 years of experience facilitating breathwork workshops, retreats, and individual and couples sessions. Through my work with Stan & Christina Grof plus my own inner process and spiritual practices, I have expertise in spiritual emergence and spiritual emergency issues.
I have studied shamanism for 28 years and offer shamanic sessions online and in-person when I offer retreats and workshops. I also have a background in both archetypal astrology (taught by Richard Tarnas, Ph.D.), and in evolutionary astrology (taught by Rose Marcus). I also have a Master's level certificate in creative expression and use expressive arts therapy as an addition to my other healing methods.
I have a private practice in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups. I work in person or by phone or by telemedicine from anywhere you live. Long distance rates are included in the cost of the session.
Retreats and events to be listed soon.
