Beyond the relief of depression, anxiety, preoccupations, unpredictable feelings and the host of things called symptoms in psychology lies another way of working together – that of Jungian psychoanalysis.
Employing and deepening the thinking and techniques from Freudian psychoanalysis, Jungian psychoanalysis broadens the palette to go beyond family of origin and childhood to incorporate metaphors and imagery from metaphor, art, science, mythology, and history. As such, it has been a favored way of engaging in depth work amongst those looking to get at the deeper movements and truths organizing their lives.

In analysis, we engage with deeper layers of yourself that are often obscured by day-to-day concerns.
These layers drive your moods, feelings, fantasies, behaviors, dreams, attractions and repulsions. In analysis, the goal is not to stop at symptom relief but to engage with what is driving these symptoms. These are deeper aspects of mind and event in a way that helps one find and construct meaning and purpose. To some, it can be encountering the meaning and purpose of a recurrent pattern in behaviors and choices, relationships, and career. To others, as create a window of visibility into an event, a chapter, or an entire lifetime.
The focus is on exploration and transformation, and everything from dreams, creative products, imagination, and a deep confrontation with the conflicting chorus of identities and complexes that exist within us are employed in analysis.
I have extensive training and a background in Jungian psychoanalytic theory and techniques, and have found that using these in tandem somatic-relational techniques often catalyzes contact with deeper aspects of our psyche. I am a certified Jungian psychoanalyst and a member of the CG Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
