If so, from what institution?
I have a double masters in clinical counseling and marriage and family. Chapman University. My bachelor’s in psychology was from vanguard university. Both were in California.
Are you a licensed or clinical therapist?
I completed my hours and training for licensure in California…I was a registered AMFT but I chose to move to New Mexico and pursue spiritual formation rather than independent licensure.
Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
I originally wanted to be a minister — a theologian, really. But I grew up in a religious community that was not conducive to that, and was shunned at 22. I found psychology the way many people do after something annihilating: I ended up in the mental health system, and since I couldn’t afford a therapist, I went to school for it. I completed a double master’s in counseling and MFT — but it didn’t satisfy my vocation.
I left California and moved to New Mexico, where I found Jung and incarnational mysticism — the kind where God is imminent, present, abiding within. After what I can only describe as a descent and initiatory period, I started to write.
I’m currently developing two interlocking projects. The first, Wisdom’s House, holds that the psyche is the structure and Soul is the living Presence dwelling within it — the house where consciousness is raised. The second maps the Beatitudes as the ecology of that house, describing how consciousness ripens stage by stage.
I’ve emerged from the desert. What I’m looking for here is simple: people to actually talk to.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?
I write every week on medium.
