I am American by birth. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I had a variety of work experiences. These included teaching English in Greece, working as a circulation manager in a busy publishing house in Chicago, employment as a plasterer and bricklayer in London's East End, and a period living in a Buddhist meditation community. I have been a practising psychotherapist for over thirty years. My life long psychotherapeutic inspiration has been the work of Carl Jung and his followers.
