  • JOURNEYING TOWARDS WHOLENESS

    There is something deep within you that wants to be fully alive, and to express itself.

    Is Individual Depth Psychotherapy for You?

    Welcome! Where do you find yourself at this time in your unique life journey?

    Are you confronted with an important change in direction in your life, or major transition, such as:

    • transition to mature adult life;
    • mid-life transition, which occurs for many in the middle years of life;
    • a search for renewal of value and meaning in your life; or
    • the transition to later adulthood?

    Are you facing specific life changes, such as:

    • marriage or divorce; 
    • major change in career path; 
    • retirement or “career downshifting”; 
    • a significant move or relocation; 
    • loss of a loved one; or,
    • children leaving the nest?

    Are you dealing with anxiety, and/or depression related issues, such as:

    • anxious thoughts or rumination;
    • social anxiety;
    • listlessness or "loss of appetite" for life; or, 
    • burnout, related to work, caregiving, etc.

    Are you seeking a deeper connection to your own unique life, or meaning and purpose, through:

    • compassion for yourself;
    • connection with the true story of your life;
    • finding value and meaning in your life; or
    • issues of ultimate concern or spirituality?

    These challenges can lead us to places of anxiety, depression and disorientation, sometimes for years. At times, we may even feel like we have completely lost our way.

    “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
    ~ Joseph Campbell

    As a Jungian therapist (or, “analyst”), I work with you to approach your life and your personal journey with deep compassion for yourself.

    You are unique—and my goal is to work with you to help you to get in touch with what is trying to emerge in your unique life.

    We work together to discover concrete ways that you can be in your own real life and respond to the call of the deep self. This is the path to greater vitality, direction and meaning. As C.G.Jung emphasized, much of this journey involves increasing our awareness of “the undiscovered self”, and seeing who we most fundamentally are.

    If you feel the call to go further on your journey to personal wholeness and depth, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you and accompany you on your unique path…
