SERVICES

I have a full-time private practice in Pasadena, California and serve people of all ages. With many years of professional experience I work in the following modalities:

  • Individual
  • Couples
  • Conjoint (for example, Parent/Child)
  • Family
  • Supervision
  • Consultation


I have expertise in helping people with a range of problems including depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement issues, relationship problems, work problems, men’s and women’s issues, physical, sexual and emotional abuse, characterological and developmental issues, family and school behavioral problems.

Although I am a Jungian Analyst and Psychotherapist, I am practical in my clinical work and will employ whatever theory and techniques are necessary to assist patients in healing as effectively and quickly as possible.

I have particular skills in dream interpretation and the employment of sandplay as a technique.

Also, I am the former Director of the Hilde Kirsch Children’s Center at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.  I have lectured statewide as well as nationally and several of my articles have been published in professional journals.
