Jungian Analysis & Psychotherapy Services in the Bay Area

“Individuation, therefore, can only mean a process of psychological development that fulfills the individual qualities given; in other words, it is a process by which a man becomes the definite, unique being he in fact is.” (C. G. Jung, Collected Works, volume 7, para. 267)

Depth-Oriented Psychotherapy and Jungian Analysis for Adults

A Journey for Healing and Creative Transformation

My approach to psychotherapy and Jungian analysis begins with creating a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space. Together, we explore the root causes of emotional distress and develop practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges.

A central principle in my practice is Jung’s concept of Individuation—the lifelong process of becoming your true self, or the "definite, unique being" that you are. Many individuals experience disconnection from their authentic identity due to early family dynamics, cultural conditioning, or unresolved relational trauma. This disconnection often manifests as anxiety, depression, addiction, or creative blockages.

Through depth-oriented therapy, we work to integrate these developmental wounds, uncovering the symbolic threads that lead to healing. Our goal is to foster a more cohesive, creative, and meaningful sense of self—one that honors your individuality while deepening your relationships within family, community, and the collective.

Couples Therapy in the Bay Area and Elsewhere

Strengthening Relationships through Insight, Emotional Connection, and Growth

I offer couples therapy for partners seeking deeper emotional connection, improved communication, and resolution of recurring conflicts. Common concerns include: 

• Communication breakdowns and unresolved arguments
• Financial stress and decision-making challenges
• Emotional and physical intimacy issues
• Family planning 
• Navigating cultural or intergenerational differences

Our work begins by identifying the core issues impacting your relationship. We then explore how early life experiences and unconscious patterns may be influencing your dynamic. The aim is to support the strengths of your relationship, and cultivate mutual understanding, compassion, and growth—both individually and as a couple.
