I'm curious about the psychology of individuals and cultures. I have a Ph.D. in Jungian and Archetypal Psychology, an MA in applied psychology, and have worked with various personality instruments including the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs. My dissertation explored socioeconomic issues through a mythological lens, which provided a new way of viewing cultural problems.

I'm a consultant and teacher. My career spans the U.S. and Europe and is focused on the intersection of psychology and economics. I’ve worked with global companies and small start-ups and taught Organizational Behavior to MBA and undergraduate students. My main interests are creating healthy organizational cultures and supporting people in following their vocational calling.

I engage in many “ways of knowing”. I believe strongly in the value of research and theory which is why I pursued a Ph.D. We base many of our decisions on the rational, logical, and measurable. However, people aren’t always rational. We are influenced by the unconscious, which can trip us up but can also provide great wisdom through dreams, images, intuition, and the body. Ancient myth and modern film also access the unconscious and present us with critical information about ourselves, our culture, and how we can transform.

I seek new ways of healing. I’ve always been interested in finding new ways to heal both individual and cultural wounds. My research explores cultural healing. Dreams, stories, art, and the imaginal can facilitate healing. And I am a Reiki master, which is a form of energy healing from Japan.

I'm called to re-empower the feminine from within. We were born into a sea of patriarchy and often unknowingly take on its values and ideals. While we are bravely fighting the patriarchy in our workplaces and culture, we also need to reflect on where it might be lurking within our own shadows undermining our confidence and self-esteem. I work with groups and organizations to help them to look into their shadows and see how their culture might be unknowingly suppressing the feminine.

I seek out foreign lands both literally and figuratively. I’ve lived in various countries including the U.S., England, Scotland, and Austria, and have visited many places across the world. Over the last seven years, I’ve spent significant time in Greece. Each place I've lived or visited has provided me with insights into myself and human nature. My time in Greece has introduced me to the Greek goddesses and their connections to the power of the feminine.

I explore new ways of looking at the world and human experiences, mostly this is done through the imaginal, which as Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
