jungian analyst, iaap
I’m a Jungian analyst dedicated to helping others explore the deeper narratives that shape their lives. My work is rooted in the belief that our inner stories, often unconscious, symbolic, or inherited, hold the key to greater self-understanding and transformation. Drawing from dreams, myth, and imagination, I guide clients through threshold moments with care and curiosity, supporting the unfolding of a more authentic, integrated way of being. This practice is informed by the lineage of depth psychology, and deeply inspired by the writings of Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, Robert A. Johnson, and Marion Woodman.
