I am a psychotherapist, folklorist, and educator with over 20 years of clinical experience. I work internationally and am based between the US and Ireland (Northern Nevada and Connemara on Ireland’s west coast). My approach is Jungian and depth-oriented, integrating Jungian psychology with psychodynamic and somatic therapies.

I grew up in Connemara on Ireland’s Atlantic coast—a wild landscape of mountains and boglands, once described by Oscar Wilde as “a savage beauty.” I was raised in a small rural Irish-speaking (Gaeilge) community, where Gaeilge was my first language. I did not speak English until I was five years old. From childhood, I was immersed in folklore, mythology, language, story, sean-nós song, and oral tradition—an inheritance that has deeply shaped my life and work.

My work interweaves this rich heritage, the ancestral world of my childhood, and the Gaelic Otherworld with Jungian depth psychology. Through symbol, story, language, and myth, I invite you to explore your own inner landscape. I aim to share a felt sense of this ancient culture while supporting your personal development in a way that is deeply grounded, nourishing, and transformative.
