My formal psychological education has been centered on psychodynamic psychotherapy, especially Jungian and Post-Freudian approaches to the psyche. Gestalt theory and practice, Imaginal Psychology, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, and Family Systems have also been strong influences. I received my B.A. from Amherst College, my M.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design, and my M.A. (Counseling Psychology with a Depth Orientation) from the Pacifica Graduate Institute. In addition, I spent four years in analytical training at the C. G. Jung Institute, Boston, and am personally familiar with the mindfulness practices of several traditions. Most recently (2013), I completed the three-year Somatic Experiencing professional training.
