Jungian Therapists in Calabasas, CA

As a Jungian Analyst, I create a safe place for my clients to transform problems and discover their wholeness. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is founded upon deep listening and dialog. Whether the concerns are related to relationships, depression, anxiety, procrastination or chronic illness, we begin with understanding your current feelings and desired goal. Throughout these many years of practice, I have been honored to participate in my client's endeavor to achieve an authentic life.

As developer of Future-Mind-Works(TM), a “state-specific” art and science and revolutionary application of clinical hypnosis, Michael assists individuals with creative problem-solving in a variety of areas. With extensive training and experience in Jungian psychotherapy (Pacifica Graduate Institute; Coldwater Counseling Center) and Ericksonian hypnotherapy (Milton H. Erickson Foundation; HMI), Michael utilizes the client’s subconscious potential for mind-body healing, personal-development, and self-transformation.

I am a clinical psychotherapist with a Jungian orientation. This allows for a depth psychology approach towards mental health. My intention in the therapeutic process is to accompany, bear witness, and assist in the discovery of an inner world so that a person may bring unconscious aspects of the Self to light. What brings you to therapy may look like anxiety or depression, but these symptoms open the door for greater healing. Utilizing traditional psychoanalysis, dream analysis, art therapy, mediating from powerlessness to creativity, from possession to liberation.

I am a depth-trained and results-oriented psychotherapist. My goal is to help you gain self-awareness and teach psychological tools for personal growth and healing in and beyond therapy. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, a difficult life transition, creative blocks, unhealthy behaviors that you can’t seem to change, or challenges regarding your neurodiversity or sexuality, I will help you use them as opportunities for positive and sustainable transformation. I provide online therapy to individuals, couples, and families using psychoanalytic, somatic, coaching, evidence-based, and psycho-spiritual approaches.

I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, identity issues, parenting and more. In psychotherapy, support, guidance and self-reflection can help to alleviate many symptoms that have been problematic for years. Although it can be difficult beginning the process of therapy, the results can be profound and can lead to meaningful discovery and transformation.

It is my passion to help others live happier, calmer, and more fulfilling lives. Much of our inexplicable behavior and habits that hold us back are rooted in our genes, childhood, family dynamics, traumas, and circumstances. I help my clients to understand what holds them back and move through it. I help them to overcome difficult transitions and parenting challenges. I help them to improve their relationships, change negative lifestyle habits, reduce stress, improve confidence and self-esteem, uncover their passions, and eventually become true selves.

Are you interested in therapy but don’t want to have to tell another person that not all video games are grand theft auto, not all cartoons are for kids, and Dungeons and Dragons is a social hobby? It can be frustrating thinking you found the right therapist only to learn they hold some pretty big misconceptions of pop culture. Especially when pop culture is such a major part of many of our lives.

I have experience working with individuals of various cultural backgrounds, which has provided me with the experience in helping with a diverse area of mental health difficulties from Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder, (veteran, infidelity, domestic violence, physical, emotional and sexual abuse), family and couple therapy . I help my clients decrease their depressive and anxious symptoms, identify their positive thoughts, decrease worries, feel relaxed, happy, sleep well, and develop good relationship with others.

I believe that each of us has an inner guiding wisdom that knows which decisions and directions are best for us. Through the process of listening to symptoms, feelings, and reactions, it becomes possible to reconnect to that wisdom and navigate through difficulties and challenges. Issues such as anxiety, depression, fears, weight, and insomnia are often symptoms that can teach us about what is working and what is no longer working in our lives. I can help turn old habits and responses into positive changes and create life-long tools for coping and moving forward. My approach is unique and effective.

I am an advocate for the soul’s desire for expansion and connection with others. I work in the service of the psyche to bring unconscious material to the conscious to facilitate sustainable change, transformation, and growth. I welcome you as you are, whether you are suffering from a dependency, such as problematic substance use, or a mental health condition, like trauma-related difficulties. I incorporate both the Twelve Step and harm reduction methods in my practice. Since I honor and see the value in both modalities, I will work collaboratively with you to determine which approach would best serve your path towards wholeness.

Therapy works. Emotional relief is possible. Changing your life is possible. It takes hard work, dedication, and support from someone who really cares. That's what I offer. I believe that in looking at how we relate to others and ourselves both now and throughout our lives up until this point, we can come to a greater understanding of ourselves and therefore can change. I cater my approach to the individual, couple, family, or group as I get to know you and your needs. When appropriate, I also use dream analysis, meditation, play therapy, and art therapy.

Are you feeling neglected and ignored in your relationship? Are you feeling frustrated, irritated, hurt, or angry? Do you fight more frequently and is there disharmony at home?

My goal is to reduce emotional pain and give you tools, techniques, and strategies to make your relationship work...so you can fall in love all over again. Yes, it is possible!

Being a psychologist allows me the privilege to participate in and witness the inspiring process of my clients as they journey towards a happier and more fulfilling life. Therapy is not just for those individuals in deep despair or experiencing serious mental illness. If you are human, have a family of origin, and life experience up until this point, you qualify! Our unique pasts come with opportunities for growth through hard work, self confrontation, and the courage to face whatever pain follows you into the office. Rather than avoiding pain, facing it can be a path to reaching full potential.
