Psychotherapy

I arrived in this career through my own path of soulwork. 

For fifteen years, I worked in marketing and strategy, consulting for private equity firms, family offices, and consumer packaged goods companies. I loved this work because I immersed myself in understanding what made people tick, what stories moved them and how our souls interact with desire. While I loved telling stories for others, my own soul began tugging me in a different direction. I spent my life learning how people make decisions, but I wanted to understand how we make meaning.

What began as a personal search gradually became my second career. I trained as a bodyworker and spent years working with clients through touch. I also studied and practiced Western herbalism, archetypal tarot,  animist traditions and studied the paths of various mystics. Each discipline offered me a way of understanding a different language of listening.

It was through bodywork that I first really understood the limits of symptom reduction. Again and again, I watched people arrive with symptoms they wanted to eliminate, only to find that beneath them was a story, an image, a grief, or a forgotten part of themselves asking to be heard. I came to believe that healing begins not by conquering symptoms but by learning how to listen to it. 

My graduate research explored the role of symbolic language in psychotherapy and became the foundation for what I call The Body as Oracle—the idea that the body is more than a collection of symptoms to be managed, but it is in fact a living source of meaning that can guide us toward a more deeply inhabited life.

My own participation in Jungian-oriented psychotherapy over the past nine years continues to shape the way I practice. I believe the capacity to accompany another person into deep therapeutic work is rooted not only in professional training, but in a lifelong commitment to one's own inner life. Above all, I have come to trust that the psyche has its own language. Our work together is to learn how to listen for it.
