Jungian-oriented therapy is primarily concerned with the discovery and unfolding of a person's unique expression and purpose in life, whatever that may be. With its focus on exploring the unconscious, whether in the form of symptoms - depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma responses, frustration, physical pain or illness, addictions, negative patterns of behaviors, problems in relationships, nightmares, insomnia, etc - or other expressions of the unconscious mind, such as dreams, fantasies, and complexes, our work together aims to bring about greater awareness of the self and a genuine experience of wholeness and fulfillment.
We provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space of listening, reflection, and exploration of both the conscious and unconscious psyche. We offer a place to discuss thoughts, feelings, ideas, fears, fantasies, challenges, dreams, questions, and answers, and we are fully committed to each client's self-expression and well-being.
Who looks outside, dreams;
who looks inside, awakes.
-Carl Gustav Jung
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
-Joseph Campbell
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Think...of the world you carry within you.
-Rainer Maria Rilk

You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf - Jon Kabat-Zinn
Jungian-oriented therapy employs the techniques of talk therapy, dream analysis, exploration of developmental factors, psycho-education, somatic awareness, and attention to the therapeutic transference. We also explore current life situations, meaningful experiences, and pay special attention to numinous or out-of-the-ordinary moments in ordinary life, such as synchronicity, spontaneous visions, falling in love, or religious experience.
We are familiar with the challenges many people face today. Our therapists have significant life experience in addition to being highly trained in the field of Jungian psychology. We are also skilled in the treatment of trauma (childhood, sexual, and adult).
Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a particular path... this is what I must do, this is what I've got to have.
This is who I am. - James Hillman
