"Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape. But those who have a higher conception of education will prize most the method of cultivating a tree so that it fulfils to perfection its own natural conditions of growth."Jung Collected Works, vol. 4, para. 442
If you are seeking balance in your life or
you are interested in deep and lasting change or
you want to understand yourself more fully, change long-standing issues or patterns, discover greater meaning and purpose in your life or
you want to heal the effects of painful or traumatic past experiences or
if you find that all your enthusiasm for living has dried up, that there seems to be no meaning in anything, or that your creative, playful juices have stopped flowing,
then Jungian psychotherapy can help you.
Perhaps you are a woman in midlife and you are wondering what now that the children have grown up and you wonder who you are beyond the roles you have played.
Or
You have a sense of where the end lies and that changes things for you. Now there is the knowledge that there likely will not be time for everything. How to prioritize? And how to handle it when flagging energy and physical resources make some longer for ambitions no longer attainable?
Or
You want to work with your dreams and other creative expressions as a means of learning more about yourself.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. – C.G. Jung

You and I are partners in this undertaking. The work in therapy comes out of a mutual process. Jungian psychotherapy is usually not brief therapy. It takes time to explore the complexities of feeling and experience that make up a person's own unique past, as well as present manifestations of that past. People who enter Jungian psychotherapy make an important personal commitment.
The goal of Jungian psychotherapy is to enable you to live a life that most fully expresses your own nature. Each of us has a unique self which is trying to unfold. When that unfolding is blocked we may become anxious, or depressed or angry and we may have trouble in our relationships. You and I together develop a caring dialogue which will help you first to understand where you are blocked and then to overcome your blocks. Through our work, you can expect to feel happier and more fulfilled in your relationships, in your job and in your creative life.
to themselves and their personal journey.
Jungian therapy aims at activating your innate healing capabilities. It does so by promoting a living dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, so that you have access to your own individual source of knowledge about yourself.Your symptoms, your struggles, your suffering and your dreams are all regarded as messages from the soul. By learning to understand these messages, we work together to bring new perspective on old difficulties, a deeper connection to self and others, and the strength to change old patterns. Along with relief from symptoms, Jungian therapy works toward developing lasting change, access to your own inner wisdom, self-acceptance, authenticity and renewed energy for life.
In sessions, we talk about the important events of your week and your feelings about them. We also talk about the thoughts and feelings which emerge in our session. Your dreams may be very helpful.

My work as a psychoanalyst is to help patients recover their lost wholeness and to strengthen the psyche so it can resist future dismemberment.
