I am a Jungian Psychoanalyst who integrates attention to the bodily-felt dimension of experience into psychotherapeutic process.

Jungian Analysis leans into the psyche’s inherent healing capacity. Working with the creative wellspring of the unconscious through dreams and images is foundational to this process.

In my new book, I explore the profound importance of accessing the inwardly felt body in depth psychotherapeutic process to enhance the experience of affective life. I draw from philosophical perspectives, neuroscientific and infant research, developmental theory, and trauma studies to offer a comprehensive overview of embodiment. Having synthesized somatic work into a relationally based psychoanalytic approach, I offer clinical vignettes to demonstrate the critical value of working with bodily felt implicit relational memory with those who have suffered developmental trauma.

The mythopoetic reality revealed in a depth psychotherapeutic process weaves this into a tapestry of personal meaning, facilitating deep transformation. When this happens, the body serves as a portal to the numinous dimensions of the soul’s life—healing and wholeness that goes far beyond just the relief of symptoms to lead to a renewed sense of soulful aliveness.
