Jungian Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
Whatever struggle is motivating you to start counseling, something inside is knocking. The knock may be feeling depressed, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed. It may be feeling disconnected in relationships and from what is meaningful in your life, a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose. To answer that knock means to turn inward, which can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, yet I whole-heartedly believe the life you seek is patiently waiting! The pain you are experiencing is actually an invitation for healing and growth. Answer the knock. When things break down, breakthroughs happen.

You're reflective by nature, the kind of person who thinks deeply about your life, notices patterns, and wants to understand what's really going on beneath the surface. You're not looking for someone to tell you what to do. You want a thinking partner, someone who'll engage with you in genuine conversation about grief, anxiety, stress, identity, relationships, life transitions, and more. You're ready to sit with discomfort if it means moving toward clarity. I work collaboratively with adults who want to explore their experience rather than be told how to fix it, people who trust their own insight and want to develop it further.

We seek help when our way of relating to ourselves and others is no longer working for us. It can be daunting to look outside of ourselves to gain an understanding of something so personal, but taking this step offers the opportunity to cultivate powerful tools for adaptation, self-regulation and productive relationships. The tools that I use come from Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems Therapy. These therapeutic modalities help us reach the mind, body, and heart, offering a holistic path to transformational change.

My passion is in-depth Jungian oriented psychotherapy.
Depth psychotherapy work is a process unique to each individual and it relies on their innate potential for growth and ability to explore deeper realms of the psyche. We will use tools such as dream work, active imagination, explorations of the past as well as the present to understand those deeper aspects of the mind. The goal of depth work is to understand unconscious patterns and origins of behavior which can ultimately lead to greater psychological flexibility and freedom. Many clients who experience depth work end up finding a renewed sense of Self and purpose.

Many of the people who find their way to my practice are thoughtful, self-aware individuals navigating the long-term impact of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, anxiety, or complex relationship patterns. On the outside, life may look functional—even successful—but internally something still feels unresolved. My work focuses on helping adults heal these deeper patterns using experiential and trauma-informed therapies, including Body-Centered Gestalt Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also provide preparation and integration support for psychedelic-assisted therapy in MO and legally facilitated psilocybin work in OR & CO.

Whether you’re navigating shifting relationships, exploring emotional or sexual intimacy, or reclaiming confidence after years of putting others first, I’ll walk beside you with honesty, compassion, and a touch of humor.

Jungian Therapists
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
