I am a Jungian Psychoanalyst offering Jungian Analysis to individuals who want a deeper understanding of themselves. For many reasons, these persons feel emotionally in pain, conflicted or unbalanced in their inner and/or outer life and would benefit from exploring the deep rooted causes of relationship problems and unproductive emotional patterns. The direction of therapy is to look to the past and to the unconscious determinants of behaviour but also to open to the creative and positive movements of the psyche that offer a way forward even in the face of the greatest difficulties or trauma.

If you’re dealing with addiction, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, or trauma, you’re absolutely not alone. You might’ve tried to handle things on your own, only to find that the same patterns keep showing up and nothing really changes. That’s a frustrating place to be, and it can wear you down fast. Sometimes the way forward just isn’t obvious, and feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. Talking it through can make a real difference — it gives you space to get some perspective and start building new ways of approaching old problems.

Deep work. Real connection. Evolving tools.
With 25+ years of clinical experience, I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, work stress, burnout, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and body image concerns. I also work with military, first responders, law enforcement, CAS workers, and their families. Many arrive with experiences of high-pressure roles, toxic workplaces, or institutional burnout—challenges I am familiar with.
More and more people turn to AI tools like ChatGPT to manage stress. I take that seriously. The advice they get—often CBT-based—isn’t wrong, but it’s limited.
