Depth psychotherapist,
poet & founder of the Jung Platform

For the descents and the awakenings.

Your psyche generates the medicine.
I support you and your psyche.

A private, specialized practice for individuals navigating profound life transitions, creative thresholds, and psychological descents. Serving clients in person in New York City and online worldwide.

Depth psychotherapy and dreamwork for life's thresholds.

A loss in any form. Of a life you loved, a job, a relationship, a dream. Or when disturbing symptoms refuse to go away. Also, when there is the pull of something new: the call to bring your talent into the world, to begin a different way of life.

These are thresholds and initiations into a new way of being. My work is to support you on this inner transformative journey. I help you contact the medicine in your own psyche. I draw on thirty years of studying Jungian depth psychology, dreamwork, and shamanic and non-dual traditions.

I've practiced as a psychotherapist for over twenty years. I'm the author of Dream Guidance (Hay House) and the founder of the Jung Platform. I see people in person in Manhattan, New York City, and online worldwide.
