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.

I acknowledge the profound vulnerability that comes with sharing personal stories, particularly those involving trauma, illness, grief, addiction, or depression.

I rely on evidence-based techniques and approaches that are aimed at empowering you to unlock your true potential. I adopt a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit in the pursuit of balance and optimal health
