I offer individual psychoanalysis informed by Jungian psychology and related psychoanalytic and psychodynamic traditions.

People come to analysis for many reasons, often during periods of uncertainty, transition, difficulty or grief. Others seek analysis for deeper self-understanding, or to engage more fully with their creative or inner life.

In our work, attention is given to immediate life concerns as well as the underlying – often unconscious – patterns that may be shaping your emotional experience, relationships, sense of meaning or purpose, and creative expression.

My approach is guided by careful attention to the individuality of each person who comes to consult me. I aim to meet each person as openly as possible, with consideration and respect for their humanity and unique experience. I also invite whatever forms of expression feel most natural or accessible, which may include conversation or writing, drawing or painting, movement, dreams, and other symbolic material.

I practise as an Analyst-in-Training at the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP Zurich) and work under regular supervision with senior training analysts. My educational background is in psychology and religious studies, with additional training in mental health crisis response.
