WELCOME
As a Jungian analyst, transpersonal psychotherapist, and great granddaughter of L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, I am dedicated to exploring the unconscious dimensions of mind, body, and spirit. This inward journey is a way to heal emotional pain, recover the gems of inner wisdom, and consciously expand into the fullness of who we are.
We all travel together along a yellow brick road of life, and with the miracles of technology now, we can find, meet, and connect with each other more easily. I've designed this as a way to introduce myself, and share my life's work and personal reflections with you.
May you be inspired by Dorothy's journey through Oz,
and enjoy wondrous moments of light, love, and laughter.
Thanks for being here.
In these challenging times of personal and global unrest, I believe honoring the depths of the psyche is essential for emotional healing, psychological growth, and the evolution of consciousness. In my work, I do this by tapping into the unconscious dimensions of the psyche, and exploring symbolic imagery as it manifests in dreams, art, sandplay, and the body. I have dedicated my life to psychological healing and understanding how the wisdom of these symbolic expressions relate to everyday life experiences.
I have been working as a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Therapist for over 50 years, and am a certified Jungian Analysis and Sandplay Therapist-Teacher. In the free and protected space of my office, the alignment of mind, body and spirit is encouraged to resolve internal distress, awaken creativity, and access inner wisdom.​
​I offer case consultation to licensed therapists, conduct educational seminars through analytic and sandplay communities, and work with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, aging issues, and grief.
In my book and seminars about The Wisdom of Oz, I explore how
L.Frank Baum was inspired to write this story, and why it has become so popular in our culture. I include information about the Baum family, as well as the deeper messages and symbolism of the story. Currently my interests focus on how this American fair tale reflects the individuation process, and expresses the aptitude and authority of the feminine.
