She completed her Jungian psychoanalytic training at the C.G. Jung Institute of New York in 2017, with a thesis entitled "Redeeming the Feminine Divine: Encountering the Gnostic Sophia." She was awarded the Kristine Mann Research Award in 2018 for her Gnostic studies, including research on The Nag Hammadi Scriptures.
Guttormsen holds an MFA from the University of Washington (2002) and a Psilocybin Facilitation Certificate from Fluence, making her one of a small number of Jungian analysts also licensed as a psilocybin facilitator in Oregon. She currently serves as Chair of Curriculum on the board of the C.G. Jung Institute of New York, where she actively supervises and mentors analysts in training. She lectures and teaches for multiple organizations, including the C.G. Jung Foundation of New York, NYAAP, and the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts.
Her clinical approach is deeply attuned to each individual's specific psychological needs, utilizing non-verbal modalities such as sandplay, movement, and drawing alongside traditional analytic work. She places particular emphasis on dreamwork and active imagination as vehicles for therapeutic transformation. Her areas of focus include addiction, compulsive behaviors, trauma, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties within marriages and families, suicidal ideation, and dissociation.
