In the psychology of the individual there is always… an agonizing situation of conflict from which there seems to be no way out – at least for the conscious mind…
But out of this collision of opposites the unconscious psyche always creates a third thing of an irrational nature… Some inkling of the creative act… nevertheless gets through… The new configuration is a nascent whole; it is on the way to wholeness… For this reason, all uniting symbols have a redemptive significance.
Jung CC 9i (1940) para. 285

Psychoanalysis is a path towards freedom from unnecessary suffering. The process of therapy is a difficult and extraordinary Journey of Discovery and Healing.
Along the way, Transformative Changes happen in the weaving of Personal, Cultural, and Collective Wounds and Creativities.
I am passionate about helping individuals find their way back, reclaim their connection to their deep sense of Self.
In my work I integrate Jungian Psychoanalytic Approaches with other empirically supported therapies such as Queer, Feminist, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Awareness, Mindfulness, etc.
I specialize in working with Personal, Transgenerational, and Historical Trauma – from Wars, the Holocaust, Immigration, and Oppression based on ethnicity, race, class, religion, gender, sexuality, or age.
Many of those I work with walk through Existential Thresholds such as Birth, Death, Midlife, Grief and Loss. We also explore Depression and Anxiety.
I offer affirmative, compassionate, and sometimes challenging support.
In analysis we grow through our wounds and our strengths, with our flaws and our beauties; we slowly unwrap layers of hurt and grief to reclaim our aliveness in the context of a contained and deep relationship with another human being. In the transcendence of the encounter, Archetypal Images often emerge from our Dreams, from our Imagination, and from our Cultural and Transgenerational Narratives.
Psychoanalysis is a process that allows gradual integration of mind, body, heart, and spirit, of past and present, of inner self-states and outside influences.
I provide therapy in English and in French, online and in person in Santa Monica, California USA.
