Living Air Dialogue

We are Jungian-oriented therapists who specialize in facilitating authentic dialogues within oneself as well as between couples, families, and parents. We work together or separately with you, depending on your needs and interests to support growth through word, image, music, and dream.

Our philosophy of therapy and counseling is based on the belief that the growth process is best facilitated by attending, honoring, and voicing inner and interpersonal dialogues at a pace that authentically reflects your process of growth. The therapeutic process consists of identifying disowned aspects of yourself, discovering their role and importance, and integrating them into your experience of both yourself and others.

We use a number of therapeutic approaches all grounded in Jungian theories and expressive arts sensibilities.

• Our primary practices include analytical talk therapy, dialogue within oneself, dialogue between people (couples, families, and parent–child), dreamwork, and process-based art and poetry therapy.

• Secondary practices include cognitive and behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and communication skills between couples and families.

Modalities of therapy include individual, couple, and group processes for adolescents through adults. Your safety and comfort is essential for these approaches to be supportive; you will be invited, but not obligated, to participate in these practices as opportunities for experiencing emotions, creating insight, and intuiting a process toward healing. We honor cultural complexity, spiritual and religious transitions, and gender identity processes.
