Educational and Professional Background

    M.A.    -   Counseling Psychology with Emphasis in Depth Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute  
    M.B.A. -   J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University  
    B.A.     -   University of California at Santa Barbara

    Carol attended Pacifica Graduate Institute,  The school is known for a rigorous counseling psychology
    program, its talented teaching faculty and unique library. The library archives house the collected papers of
    Joseph Campbell and James Hillman, among other collections. Pacifica requires a high academic grade
    point. It also requires extensive community clinical work, an orals exam, a thesis, and a minimum of 50
    hours of personal psychotherapy for each graduate.  

    Carol's thesis pursued the legacy of neglect borne by adult children of narcissistic and addicted families of
    origin, recovery from narcissistic spouses/partners and the adult's journey toward healing. Her professional
    experience includes community mental health therapy for individuals with severe and moderate mental
    health challenge, career counseling for graduate students at Northwestern University's Kellogg School, and
    her private practice.

    To ensure the highest standard of care and to comply with the requirements set forth by the Oregon State
    Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, Carol participates in ongoing clinical supervision,
    consultation, and continuing education. Currently, she is a Training Candidate at the C.G. Jung Institute,
    Kusnacht, Switzerland. Ongoing trainings in attachment theory, family systems, dream work, trauma
    complex, and DBT theory deepen her work.  She continues training in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
    (AD/HD) topics.  

    As a Registered Intern for Licensed Professional Counselor with the Oregon State Board of Licensed
    Professional Counselors, Carol meets the Board's education and training criteria and is on the path to
    licensure. A Registered Intern sees clients under supervision of a licensed therapist. Carol works with Dr.
    James Soliday, D. Min, LFMT, an experienced Jungian Analyst, and Dr. Adrienne Wolmark, PhD, an
    experienced LCSW, as her supervisors.

Practice Focus

    Carol counsels adults and young adults in NE Portland, Oregon. Typically, her clients are experiencing
    depression, anxiety, stressors, distress from childhood and adolescent trauma, transition, relationship, and
    family of origin issues. She does long-term work with adults who are children of narcissistic parents or who
    cope with narcissistic partners. She consults with adults in need of educational services and provides
    counseling support for them. See Counseling Services and Educational Services.

Practice Mission

    While working in the U.S. and abroad, Carol met people who suffered with psychological difficulties or
    learning challenges. Often, many had difficulty meeting career, life, or relationship goals. She saw the
    important difference in the well-being of many when they engaged therapy or counseling, or when their
    learning disorders received attention from family and trained professionals who understood the interplay
    between mind, spirit, body, heart and soul.

    Each person should have the opportunity to best fulfill their individual nature. Each adult deserves the
    opportunity of becoming more whole and authentic. When that can occur, psychological struggles take on
    meaning, and suffering can diminish. Difficulties and challenges can be explored as places for growth and
    transformation.  

    Carol's practice is diversity friendly.

A Blessing for Equilibrium

Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the music of laughter break through your soul.

As the wind wants to make everything dance,
May your gravity be lightened by grace.

Like the freedom of the monastery bell,
May clarity of mind make your eyes smile.

As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.

As silence smiles on the other side of what’s said,
May a sense of irony give you perspective.

As time remains free of all that it frames,
May fear or worry never put you in chains.

May your prayer of listening deepen enough
To hear in the distance the laughter of God.
