I began teaching Philosophy and Humanities at UC Irvine and other colleges and universities in Orange County in the mid-1980s when the academy began to rethink its mission in terms of a multicultural humanistic perspective. I started teaching for the MAP program at Antioch University Los Angeles in 2005. It is my calling to integrate my study of philosophy and depth psychology by grounding these in clinical practice in the diverse communities of Los Angeles. I have worked in a community mental health clinic and residential treatment facilities and provided counseling in public and non-public schools in Orange County and Los Angeles since 1991, mostly with children, teens, and their families. I am a Diplomate Jungian Analyst in private practice and teach courses for the Analyst Training Program at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and contribute these experiences to the Spiritual and Depth Psychology Specialization. I serve on the Editorial Board of Psychological Perspectives: A Quarterly Journal of Jungian Thought (Routledge: Taylor and Francis Group).
