Lorna is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Wheaton who treats individuals and couples as well as provides supervision for Clinicians who are focused on depth work. She began her career in the corporate world, and through her own analytic work, realized she needed to change directions and become a therapist, and ultimately an Analyst. Lorna is on the training staff at the Jung Institute of Chicago and serves on many evaluative committees for the Analyst Training Program as well as provides clinic supervision for attendees at the Institute’s Clinical Training Program. She is a relationally oriented Analyst who works with clients, their dreams and imaginal material, to uncover split off aspects of themselves with the goal of becoming more whole. Lorna believes that suffering is a purposeful function of being human and is to be embraced if we are to find the gold in the pain. She obtained her BA In Psychology at the University of Wisconsin, and MSW at Aurora University. She is licensed as an LCSW, and became a Jungian Analyst in 2008.

A therapist in private practice, I trained as a pastoral counselor through the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago; my license is LCPC To my counseling practice I bring many years experience as an educator of teens and young children, as well as reunification work with families affected by incarceration. My experience also includes facilitating groups to address domestic violence for survivors and for batterers along with groups for people in recovery from substance abuse. Additionally, I am a Benedictine sister; I value life in my monastic community, praying together and sharing daily experience with about forty sisters, seeking God in all.

As a therapist, I journey with people seeking to rekindle a spark of the divine within, a source to heal their inner selves or themselves in relationship with significant others. When people find they’ve gotten out of right relationship with themselves, with those close to them, or with the larger community, we work together to find the way to a more abundant life, using methods that work best for them in their situation, such as guided imagery, mindfulness, non-violent communication, journaling, storytelling, or dreamwork, along with observing and exploring behaviors, thoughts, and feelings they may want to change.

My clients are families, couples and individuals – from adolescents to elders. We do our work in English or Spanish language on a range of concerns: depression, family conflict, trauma, anxiety, coping skills, peer relationships, spirituality, career counseling, parenting, self-esteem, substance abuse, mood disorders, personality disorders, personal growth, and family reunification.

As a Jungian oriented therapist, I view the struggles of life as opportunities for growth and transformation. I am particularly interested in how the spiritual and psychological dimensions of the individual psyche interconnect and contribute to the potential for healing and wholeness. My approach to therapy is relational as well as psychodynamic. I understand the relationship between therapist and client to be one of the most important factors in the healing process. I therefore endeavor to create a thoughtful, compassionate, and safe space for that healing to occur.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in Counseling as well as a Masters in Pastoral Studies, both from Loyola University, Chicago. I am a graduate of the Clinical Training Program (CTP), a two year certification program in Jungian Analytical Psychotherapy from the Jung Institute of Chicago and have completed Basic Training in EMDR through Argosy University, Chicago.

I have previously served as Clinic Therapist and Intake Coordinator and currently as a Volunteer Therapist , Clinic Committee member, and Board of Trustees member at The C. G. Jung Center in Evanston where I also facilitate monthly dream groups. I work well with individual adults who are looking for transformation and are motivated to change those areas that are not working in their life. I utilize dreams, active imagination, and mindfulness/mind-body modalities. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem issues, loss/grief, spiritual issues, and trauma/sexual abuse/PTSD.

I am available as a companion on the inner journey in affiliation with Apple Farm Community (www.applefarmcommunity.org). I can meet with clients in the Chicago area, or, for those who would like to visit Apple Farm for a retreat, I or another Apple Farm companion could meet with you in conjunction with your visit.

My focus is on supporting the individual’s inner work and journey toward individuation. Work on the inner journey includes dealing with outer life issues, such as family, work, relationships, and life transitions and includes work with dreams or other images. Companioning is not traditional therapy, but is intended to help the individual find the deeper meaning in their life.

If you have any questions or might be interested in sharing part of your journey, let me know and we can talk further about the possibilities.

About Apple Farm
Apple Farm acts as a container, a protected space, for people to explore their own interior life. The Farm is a safe haven from the complexities of contemporary life with its rapid pace, constant social media, contentious atmosphere and the widespread assumption that doing is more significant than being.

According to Helen Luke, founder of Apple Farm Community:
“Anyone who seeks for meaning in his inner life must therefore learn to listen with all the discrimination of which he or she is capable for that which he or she recognizes, however dimly as the ultimately single voice with a thousand names. It comes to us from the ground of our being and brings in a unique way to each individual an intuition of the unchanging oneness of life. It speaks through work or through image and the looking and the listening are ultimately one experience when we have ears to hear and eyes to see.” ¬ Helen Luke, Founder of Apple Farm Community, “The Voice Within”, Kaleidoscope.
