One of the most difficult roads to navigate consciously is the path to one's life journey. Do you know where you are going to? Where will your road take you, and who is in the driver's seat? Endless questions arise. How does one listen to one's soul and deepen a better understanding of oneself? Does your soul yearn for acknowledgement, self-inquiry, self-discovery, self-acceptance, self-care, and fulfillment? Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose? Do you feel stuck, powerless, and yet seek a fuller expression of your artistry and creativity? Do you seek freedom and independence, as well as intimacy, connection, and healing?
I specialize in Jungian Depth Psychology/Psychotherapy and offer a sacred space to explore and engage with these matters of the heart, soul, and spirit from a mythological, metaphorical, and archetypal perspective. The most famous saying in Apollo's Oracle of Delphi, "Know Thyself," is an ancient version of Jung's individuation process of self-development.
In whichever phase you presently find yourself on your arduous yet fulfilling heroic journey--especially if you feel lost and confused, I invite you to examine the most precious life you solely are responsible for. I am here to patiently, compassionately, and inquisitively listen, engage, and witness your quest towards self-discovery and well-being.
