Depth Analytical Psychotherapy
DAP is a longer term therapy that assists people who are interested in exploring the deeper levels of their psyche. This approach to self awareness & growth is based on the work of Carl G. Jung, M.D. and is an exciting journey into the unconscious as one that peers beyond the ego into the personal and collective unconscious.
​This process includes recognizing archetypes that influence
choice and behavior.  
This exploration also involves finding the value and meaning of day-dreams and night-dreams in order gain insight and develop innate potential.

EDUCATION:

My academic background includes an undergraduate degree in Philosophy & Psychology, a Master's degree in Humanistic & Jungian Psychology & a Doctorate degree in Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
