About
I offer services in Jungian analysis, licensed psilocybin facilitation, courses and lectures as well as consultation for institutions on health and wellness as they relate to Jungian psychology. I am a diploma candidate currently under supervision of the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich, where I am in my 9th year of training as a Jungian analyst. Prior to training in Zurich, I trained at the C.G. Jung Institute of New England. As of 2025 I am appointed as an educational advisor to the Kristine Mann Library in New York (C.G. Jung Institute of New York).
Additionally, I am licensed as an Oregon state psilocybin facilitator and offer these services in the state of Oregon. I can work from Portland or any other desired service center space in Oregon.
The Jungian work I perform is oriented around helping people become their most authentic selves through integration of the unconscious into the conscious world. One of the core tenets of Jungian work is that the psyche is a self-righting system, it wants to be whole and healthy. We do this healing work together in a safe and trusting environment through the sharing of dreams, imaginations, artwork, and life narrative, together patiently assembling the story of your life and over time identifying patterns and opportunities.
My methods and training are based on Jungian, transpersonal, shamanistic and artistic practices, with my past work as a university professor, designer and scientific researcher bringing some influence as well.

My personal life has involved a number of paths, among them that of the full-time design and human-computer interaction professor at the University of Washington, diabetes researcher, artist, illustrator, musician, designer, kindergarten art teacher, and creative director in the technology industry. Among all the things I do, there is a unifying belief in the triumph of the human spirit and ability for the tended psyche to function in profoundly creative and healing ways.
