My path to becoming a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst has not been a straight line but a winding, often painful journey through the depths of my own suffering. Before I ever sat with another person in the therapist’s chair, I spent years confronting my struggles with mental illness—particularly addiction and eating disorders. These experiences weren’t just difficult chapters in my life; they were initiations into the world of the psyche, and they have profoundly shaped how I practice, how I listen, and how I hold space for others.
