My Focus

Sometimes the experience of life can result in numbed feelings of meaninglessness, depression, identity confusion, exhaustion, loss of creativity, or emptiness. At other times, life traumas are accompanied by the painful feelings of loss, grief, anxiety, anger, guilt, chronic pain, or problems with relationships and work. Actively engaging with problems and feelings opens an individual or couple to new meaning. Jungian analysis is a soulful method or working with life experiences and emotions that is based on the teachings of the Swiss physician Carl Gustav Jung. Jungian analysis focuses on life struggles, complexes, unconscious patterns, the adoption of health behaviors, and a re-visioning of what life and relationship are all about. Meeting in a confidential, honoring environment, the client and analyst create a space for new meaning to emerge from conversations, experiences, dreams, drawings, myths, or sand tray. Gradually, a synthesis may occur. Over time, many clients report feelings of self-acceptance, transformation, authenticity, and renewed energy for life.

Groups I Work With

Many of my clients have experienced other forms of therapy earlier in life and are now trying to find meaning, discover a new narrative that incorporates their suffering and unique way of being in the world. I specialize in: Jungian orientation Individualized therapy Focused on the inner experience Finding meaning
