Jungian Psychoanalysis · New York

What grows in darkness seeks the light

Depth therapy for those who sense that what troubles them runs deeper than words — into dreams, patterns, and the unconscious stories quietly directing your life.

Why You're Here

The patterns that hold you are older than you know.

You may find yourself in the same loop — the same relationships, the same anxieties, the same sense that something essential is missing, despite everything looking fine from the outside.

Jungian analysis invites you to follow those feelings inward rather than push them aside — to discover not just why you suffer, but who you are in the process of becoming.

Learn About The Approach

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

— C.G. Jung

The Framework

Depth through Jungian Analysis

Carl Jung believed the psyche is not a problem to be solved — it is a living mystery to be explored. Through dreams, archetypes, symbols, and myth, we find a language for what rational thought alone cannot reach.

About

Licensed Psychoanalyst · LP · NCPsyA · SCPsyA

I am a certified Jungian analyst practicing in New York, bringing depth psychology to people navigating depression, anxiety, identity, and the recurring patterns that hold them back from a fuller life.

My work is grounded in careful attention to dreams, symbols, and unconscious motives — the inner architecture that quietly shapes our choices, our relationships, and our suffering. I take the whole person seriously: history, culture, and inner world alike.

How It Works

The path to depth begins simply

Starting doesn't require having it all figured out. It only requires the willingness to look inward.

01

Initial Consultation

We meet to explore what brings you here and whether Jungian analysis feels like the right fit. No commitment required.

02

Depth Sessions

Regular sessions — typically one to two per week — working with dreams, symbols, and the unconscious to surface what is hidden.

03

Transformation

Over time, the patterns that once felt fixed begin to shift. A more authentic, integrated relationship with yourself becomes possible.
