We are all born whole, in lovingkind perfection. As we grow, we encounter obstructions that detour our movement toward authentic wholeness. The psyche is always moving toward wholeness, as are couples, families, groups, communities, etc. Holistic psychotherapy in my practice is a collaborative effort with the client to help identify and remove obstructions to one's movement toward wholeness.

Depth psychotherapy is Jungian psychology which explores the unconscious, involves mindfulness, dream analysis, art therapy, archetype exploration and many other mediums.

The types and methodologies used in psychotherapy are revealed naturally in the therapeutic relationship for me. I can feel and sense the client, and come to understand them both energetically and in relationship with others and themselves.
