Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or unsettled, or during times of transition or relationship strain. Therapy provides a safe space to pause, reflect, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
Through a Jungian-oriented, depth-focused approach, therapy can help you:
Feel steadier and more at ease with your emotions
Recognize patterns in your emotions, behaviors, or relationships
Clarify your choices and strengthen your personal agency
Communicate more clearly and connect more deeply with others
Engage with feelings and experiences in a meaningful way
Move toward a life that feels authentic and aligned with who you really are
This approach emphasizes understanding and integration, supporting changes that are authentic, lasting, and aligned with your life.
Who I Work With:
I work with adults and couples navigating life’s challenges, whether you’re feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or uncertain. Many are facing relationship difficulties, major life transitions, grief, or periods of personal growth.
I also support men exploring identity, emotions, and relationships, and individuals dealing with spiritual questions or experiences, including spiritual emergence or emergency.
Therapy is for anyone seeking a reflective, supportive space to understand themselves, notice patterns, and explore how they relate to their life, relationships, and inner world.
Therapy with me is collaborative and depth-oriented. We can explore patterns, recurring themes, and tensions in your life, relationships, and inner world, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. My goal is to provide a reflective, supportive space where you can better understand yourself and move toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being.
Sessions are tailored to your needs, whether you’re looking for insight into a specific challenge or a deeper exploration of your life and relationships. I combine Jungian principles with a relational approach, helping you engage meaningfully with your inner experiences while staying grounded in everyday life.
My intention is to provide a calm, present, and attentive environment where your experiences are acknowledged, patterns are explored, and choices become clearer. Many clients find that over time, this work supports both emotional insight and practical change, helping them live more authentically and with greater self-understanding.
Reaching out for help with anxiety or other mental health concerns can feel challenging. Often, the first step is simply being with someone attentive, present, and grounding. I’ve experienced the importance of this presence both as a client and as a therapist, and it is central to my work.
Therapy with me focuses on understanding your struggles while recognizing the strengths you already have. Together, we can bring attention to experiences and emotions that may have been overlooked. Over time, this process can support a deeper sense of integration, clarity, and wholeness.
