If you’re a leader managing relational dynamics, a creative visionary looking to unlock the power of your unconscious, or a patient healing the psycho-somatic roots of your chronic illness, then you might be in the right place.

I’m an artist, depth psychologist, archetypal pattern analyst, and multi-disciplinarian healer who has worked extensively in every major domain of psycho-somatic transformation – from cultural and leadership development in Fortune 500 Companies, to serving as the psycho-somatic specialist in a world class chronic illness clinic, to advising on the unconscious symbolism of conceptual art projects, best-selling books, and film industry screenplays.

I work within an extensive community of therapists, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, shamans, guides and artists supporting individuals to heal and fulfill their mission. My own work synthesizes the major domains of the psycho-analytic, somatic, systemic and intuitive with a number of different modalities that include Depth and Developmental Psychology, Archetypal Analysis, Somatic Experiencing, Family Constellation, Integral Theory, Internal Family Systems, Freudian and Jungian Psychotherapy, Trans-Personal Hypnotherapy, Trans-Somatic Dialogue, Objective Dream Interpretation, Symbolism and, of course, Meditation.

After studying Russian and French at Bristol University in England, I began my professional career working for Maestro Valeri Gergiev, conductor and creative director of the Mariinsky Theatre in New York and St Petersburg, Russia. Following my tenure I spent several years in meditation retreat in southern France and India. Upon my return to New York I was invited to serve as Executive Director of the Association for Research and Enlightenment otherwise known as the Edgar Cayce Center in mid town Manhattan. Soon after I began my private therapeutic practice and joined LionHeart Consulting, a Sufi based Organizational and Leadership Development firm in Portland, Oregon. Following ten years of my own experience of chronic illness I was invited to serve as the in-house Psycho-Somatic Specialist at Sophia Health Institute, a World Class Lyme and Complex Illness Clinic under the leadership of Dr Dietrich Klinghardt and Dr Christine Schaffner, where I supported patients to heal the psycho-emotional, familial and ancestral roots of their chronic health conditions. In 2020 I left the clinic to focus on  training other practitioners in a trans-disciplinary, systemic approach to healing that focuses primarily on the language of the unconscious, and the energetics of the Tao.

Working Together 

If you are interested in working with me individually, I will suggest having a brief, introductory call.

If we decide to work together, we will schedule a time to meet and I will invite you to share your story. This will immediately illuminate the archetypal patterns that you are embedded in. For example, the scapegoat, exile, warrior, high priestess and over-giver, all of which possess very specific qualities and dynamics that repeat with startling reliability. Some will support you while others will be maladaptive to a healthy, successful life.

As we identify your patterns, you will be relieved. Some you will already know, but others you will be unconscious of because they have been developed by defense mechanisms that your psyche created as a result of trauma.

Understanding these defenses mechanisms and upgrading them will play a large part in our work because all defense mechanisms carried from childhood into adulthood not only become maladaptive, but will often re-illicit the very traumas they were designed to defend against.

These can include auto-immune conditions, repeated abandonments, endless conflicts, breakups, false starts and financial instability. They will often loop endlessly over the course of a lifetime until the patterns are safely and securely interrupted and redirected into healthier expressions.

When working I draw from a wide variety of modalities and traditions while also modeling the archetype of Hermes, the messenger. Like Hermes, my opinion will always be less valuable than the messages that I relay to you from your unconscious. Your unconscious is the “god” within, that broadcasts its wisdom in symbols, stories, dreams and somatic patterns that I will gather, and then deliver to you. This is by far the greatest depth of therapeutic work that I can offer. Not to tell you what I think, but but to share what your Self, wants you to know.

My work is also hermetically sealed. For Hermes was known to have a box that could never be opened. In this way our work will be confidential and impenetrable, reflecting the archetypal needs of the chrysalis.
