I work with adults in Jungian depth psychotherapy, supporting individuals who may feel lost, stuck, or disconnected from a sense of meaning. Many people come to therapy during times of transition or inner uncertainty, when familiar ways of coping no longer seem sufficient. These experiences may show up as depression, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or somatic symptoms.
My approach is grounded in the belief that each person has an innate capacity for growth and psychological transformation. I offer a safe, steady, and reflective space to explore difficulties with curiosity and care. I work with dreams and Sandplay therapy, valuing symbolic images as pathways to deeper self-understanding.
