“Our mind is like a storybook of images and characters. What they mean, what feelings they evoke, and how we can use them as guides on our journey is what my work with you is about.”
My Background- I have a Master’s degree in Traditional and Five Element Psychology; a Bachelor’s degree in Depth Psychology and Art as a Way to Heal. A Ph.D. in Spiritual Guidance from Universal Life Church. Several Post-Graduate certificates in the Typology of The Five Elements, based on its Acupuncture and Feng Shui principles, and from the Jung Institute in Switzerland. Extensive studies in Sufism for the Western Life and a lifetime of intuitive studies with renowned experts.
All my studies and experiences give me the knowledge to guide you to a clarity of focus, opening the dialogue between your conscious and unconscious mind. Our work links you to your spiritual life force and a deliberate intention to achieve the Body/Mind/Spirit craving for Balance and a life more fulfilled, stresses abated, and passions ignited.

Hypnotherapy- What is Hypnotherapy? I use Hypnosis as a guided, active meditation process that allows invoking past and present emotions and experiences, giving way to more clarity and authenticity. Hypnosis can provide access to the unconscious to bring forward Dreams and their meaning to assist in unraveling life’s blocks and even as a process to discover glimpses of past-life experiences.
My work with you and with groups is like unraveling the psyche, creating more truthfulness for understanding, forgiveness, and compassion and allowing for more vibrant self-expression. I say this because when you are in touch with yourself. A state of Balance also means you are successfully engaged in the Art of Communication, which culminates in the ultimate satisfaction- intimacy, trust, and honesty, which are needed for Being in Relationships with yourself, others, and your environment. To be in this pursuit, that’s what I’m interested in sharing— Expanding Self Realization for more Joy, Consciousness, Safety, and Feelings of Freedom.

Five Element Psychology? (5EP) A system derived from a five-thousand-year-old Taoist philosophy system and its Five Element Acupuncture.
What does this system do for us? First, it teaches you the energetic differences between people by looking at each Element and how they function and present to the world through personality and behaviors.
What is an Energetic Typology? By embarking on a Five Element Typology, we can learn a deeper understanding of our inner nature, allowing for a more fully realized Energetic Life Force.
Within the Five Elements, there are Five Emotions. Thus, you can become more aware of your inner energy and spiritual nature when you learn and grasp the powers of these Five Elements, their Five Emotions, and their nuances. Then, you can see its results and learn how specifically to direct your energy outward; this energy is always expressing itself through your personality and behavior.
Knowing your energetic characteristics (their typology) is a very satisfying part
of Self-Realization because it gives more fulfilling relationships with yourself,
others, and your environment.
I want to add that in many ways, the Five Elements is also a Spiritual Journey because of its Taoist roots. And, in understanding your typology, you not only provide insight for a clearer picture of yourself but can give you the knowledge to-
Change what you can,
Find patience and forgiveness for what you cannot change, and
Uncover the truth about what you can celebrate.

What Other Systems Do I Incorporate? The principles of Jungian analysis:
The Individuation Process- To work with one’s ego.
Dream Analysis– To learn what the unconscious (one’s Dream Keeper) is saying to you;
Shadow Realization- To learn how to work with your negative self, Your Shadow;
The Conscious & Unconscious Mind– To understand the Relationship;
Archetypal Images- To learn to direct your archetypal energy within the personality;
Family Placement- To know the influence of your placement in the family.
***********************************************************
A Five Element Intuitive Life Readings– Bloom into your essential self; identify blockages that thwart creativity and forward movement; peel away the veils that impede understanding of your soul essence.
***********************************************************
Dream Analysis– “I had the strangest dream last night….wonder what that meant” Who hasn’t chanted that mantra? The Dream World is an essential aspect of our humanness, yet dismissed as a result of an ill-chosen late-night snack. With Jungian Dream Analysis, you learn how to have an abundant dream life to help you transform current issues and long-time chronic patterns. Embarking on Dream sessions, you bring a recent, old, or recurring dream to the session. Then, we work on your dream to clarify its symbols and the dream’s message(s) to you. To work in this Jungian way is very satisfying and profound.
Your subconscious is knocking.
Find out what messages your Dream Keeper is giving you.

The Shadow– Everyone has one, and denying this strange bedfellow will not make it go away, nor will sweet talk make it your friend, “As if we would want such a friend.” Any effort to morph it into goodness is futile. So what does this dark aspect residing in your psyche want from you? With our work together with your Shadow’s conundrum, you learn to understand the reason for its existence through the management, and surprisingly, a clear understanding of Shadow’s serves in myriad ways:
To discover your passion versus obsession,
To tap the creativity that is your life force,
To clarify your personal story and let it come forth,
To embrace and transform negativity in your life.
Metaphorically speaking, through our work together, you turn metal (Element Metal, the Alchemist), your traumas into gold, and your adversities, to prosperity, ultimately teaching you to become your alchemist.
Another way I like to understand how to work with Shadow is to view this transformational guidance as to perceive yourself as a beautiful garden. The process of making a garden is also like living our life. As if today’s yard waste can be transformed, becoming tomorrow’s rich compost that creates an environment for a beautiful garden, or you, to grow and change.
