Depth-Oriented Jungian & Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in Fort Collins, Colorado and New York
Depth-Oriented Jungian & Relational Psychotherapy in Fort Collins, Colorado and New York
Do you feel constrained, disconnected, or out of alignment? In your body, your relationships, or your sense of direction? Have the ways you’ve learned to cope also limited your sense of aliveness?
If you’re tired of just getting through things, and curious what might shift if you stopped trying to fix yourself and started listening more deeply instead? Welcome. You’re in the right place.
I offer depth-oriented, mind-body-centered psychotherapy for life and career concerns, with care, curiosity, and respect for the complexity of being human. The goal isn’t a quick fix. It’s a grounded presence that supports lasting change.
Serving adults in Fort Collins & online clients in New York and nationwide.
Find Meaning, Inner Growth & Lasting Change
I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in Jungian, psychoanalytic, and relational therapy. I help you explore unconscious patterns, deepen self-understanding, and transform emotional suffering into resilience and authentic presence.
My work integrates dreamwork, somatic awareness, and relational process, and is geared toward midlife adults navigating identity transitions, relationship struggles, and existential distress. With over sixteen years in clinical practice and an equal amount of time spent with indigenous rites of passage, I work with people ready to go deep and emerge more aware, more mature, and more able to live life on life’s terms.
“Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.” — Virginia Satir
About My Approach
My training integrates:
- Jungian Depth Psychology – working with symbols, dreams, and the personal myth of your life to uncover what’s beneath the surface.
- Psychoanalytic Exploration – using curiosity and dialogue to illuminate recurring patterns in relationships, emotion, and inner conflict.
- Relational Therapy – healing through authentic connection; what happens between us becomes part of the work.
- Psychedelic, Trauma, and Big Experience Integration – for when an experience is hard to reconcile with ordinary life, this work helps you make sense of it and move forward integrated.
Together, these support lasting psychological transformation. Not just symptom relief, but a genuine evolution in who you are in the world.
Who This Is For
My practice is a good fit if you:
- Seek deep emotional insight, not quick fixes
- Have been in therapy before but feel like something’s still missing
- Feel stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain
- Want to explore identity, relationships, and meaning
- Are open to working with symbolism, dreams, and narrative
Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or a life transition, this work helps you access deeper resources for change. I help people break free of their labels – not be defined by them.
How Therapy Works
What to expect:
- Collaborative, reflective dialogue – support through difficulty, challenge when you’re stuck
- Exploration of both past experience and present relational patterns, to illuminate what’s driving things unconsciously
- Integration of dreams, imagery, and personal meaning
- A safe-enough, nonjudgmental space to be seen and understood
I offer individual and relationship counseling, along with several short- and long-term therapy groups, and training and supervision for therapists who recognize the value of ongoing consultation and growth in the field beyond the minimum licensing requirements.
Online & in-person options available.

- Greater self-awareness and emotional regulation

How We Work Together
My approach is mindfulness-based, experiential, honest, compassionate, and transpersonal – working primarily in the here-and-now to help you become aware of the parts of you that keep you from seeing and being who you really are.
We don’t just talk! You could talk to anybody for free. Instead, I help you experience what’s already happening inside you and work with it directly, which tends to go a lot further than talking about problems in the abstract. My training spans both modern evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT) for short-term skill-building and longer-term depth work as well as deeper and more existential modalities such as the Hakomi Method, ecopsychology, dreamwork, ego state (parts) work, ritual, and Jungian psychology. All of it is aimed at bringing you deeper into your mind and body, and deeper into fully knowing and loving yourself.
I value the in-person human experience, and I know remote work is sometimes what fits. Sessions are available in person, via secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth, or – depending on privacy and scheduling – outdoors.
When Should Someone Reach Out?
Everyday life brings varying levels of suffering – transitions, relationships, or just wanting things to be different. Most of us try to work through it alone. You don’t have to wait until it’s overwhelming to get some help.

Why “Inner Life Adventures”?
You might think Inner Life Adventures is an unusual name for a therapy practice – and you’d be right. Adventures reflects how I look at things: when we adventure, we face the unexpected, meet challenges, and have new and beautiful experiences. That’s how I see the work of therapy – not a burden, but a journey of self-exploration and growth. Inner Life comes from the focus on mindfulness and the study of our internal world; when you start paying attention to it, you realize how much of an adventure it already is.
If you’re ready to experience your life more fully and step out of limiting patterns, you’ve found the right place. Every worthwhile adventure is easier with a guide. When you’re ready for one, I’ll be here.
I invite you to embark on your own Inner Life Adventure.
