She trained at the Authentic Movement Institute in Berkeley, learning a Jungian-inspired movement therapy, and completed the year-long training in the treatment of disordered eating with Beyond Hunger in San Rafael. She participated for two years in a weekly Jungian consultation group and brings a depth psychology perspective to her work by helping clients listen to dreams and symbols.
