I've practiced Jungian therapy for the past 24 years. I work with individuals and couples and lead two on-going therapy groups: one fourth of my clients are gay. I work well with creative people. Insurance covers me as an out-of-network provider.

I have a special interest in treating injuries to self esteem in, for example, the sons and daughters of narcissistic mothers or fathers.

Classes I teach frequently at the C. G. Jung Foundation are Carl Jung's method of dream interpretation, Interpreting legends and fairy tales, and Painting, active imagination, and therapy.

Explore the menu for audio-recordings and written articles on Jungian therapy, on narcissistic injury and addiction, and on the feminine and narcissism.

To read an article you may want to copy-and-paste it whole into a word-processor. Then print it, or save it (as pdf) and email it to your Kindle.
