Psychodynamic-Existential Therapy

Psychodynamic-Existential Therapy

So much of what brings us to therapy begins with a feeling of disconnection,
the gap between the life we are living and what we actually long for.

Carl Jung understood mental health, in part, as a process of integrating the psyche:
Not just bringing our outer lives into greater alignment with our inner values but also becoming curious about the disowned and cast off parts of ourselves.
Thus, reducing the dissonance between who we are, who we think we should be, and how we live.

In our work together, I help individuals explore what they truly value,
understand the forces that have shaped those values,
and bring their lives into greater alignment with what is meaningful and authentic to them.

  • We work together to find the root of your disconnection, disempowerment, depression, or grief in a safe non judgmental space, seeing them as signals of older, often unconscious wounds rather than symptoms to be managed.

  • We map out your life as you experience it and envision what healing would look like and together create a plan.

  • I help you integrate previous painful experiences and heal complex trauma, while holding that our suffering is often shaped and sometimes sustained by the systems we live within.

  • Healing here means holding both truths: our wounds are deeply personal and profoundly systemic. This knowing is crucial for a holistic human experience.

  • A different kind of therapy that restores not only your inner life, but your capacity to remain connected, free, and engaged in shaping a more sustainable world.

I don’t simply listen.
I am an active and engaged presence in the room, helping you recognize patterns, question what you have come to believe about yourself,
and discover what you genuinely desire, resist, and value. This is the work of a lifetime, and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients in this journey.
