I am an independent scholar, writer, editor, and creator. I received my doctoral degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2020 after completing my dissertation in Jungian and Archetypal psychology. The title of my dissertation was "Arctic Imaginings: Chasing Ice through C.G. Jung's Liber Novus into the 21st Century." This multi-year alchemical hermeneutic inquiry was an in-depth look at personal experiences of grief and ambiguous loss in the context of the larger backdrop of climate crisis. Through this experience and accompanying dreams, ice became an abiding image which offered wisdom, connection, and the light of hope even in the darkest times. I am deeply interested in the individual, the community at large, and the many connections (known and unknown) that connect us to the world, especially in this time of climate chaos. I have a deep and abiding love for dreams, the cryosphere, and the creative process.
