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 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. I’ve spent significant time in Greece. Each place I've lived or visited has given me 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.”
