Turning Toward The Inner Life
My Services
Jungian Analysis
60 mins | $200
Jungian Analysis holds the narratives, dreams, and patterns that repeat across a persons life as an invitation for a genuine encounter with the unconscious. Our work is to process the long-standing and painful relationships in our life, both inner and outer. To accomplish this, we will use talk therapy to process life events as well as active imagination techniques such as dialoguing with the unconscious and dream interpretation. This is preferably weekly and long-term. Must be a resident of Texas.
Please send me an email or schedule a consultation for more information.
Will require a free 30 minute video consultation to see if we’re a good fit for each other and standard intake paperwork.
I Ching & Card Reading
30 mins (1 type)| $100
60 mins (1-2 types)| $180
Jung had etched above his doorway in Latin, “Called or not, God is there”. Jung felt that the universe, also called God, and the Self, would communicate with him in meaningful ways, through life events, as well as dreams and synchronicities. Two ways that I work with the principle of synchronicity, the idea that an answer you receive is meaningfully and metaphorically related to the question you pose, are the I Ching and Tarot.
The I Ching is one of the oldest living systems for consulting with the unseen world. This ancient Chinese divination practice serves as a psychological mirror, where one can ask a question and receive a meaningful image of the time in question. This answer is treated as whole and it might include parts the asker does not see yet. This invites reflection that reorients rather than simply informs.
Tarot is a Western system similar to the Eastern I Ching, although it was developed thousands of years later. Tarot engages our intuition and imagination to alert us to what the cards (and you!) are saying is important. Tarot invites us into the picture in an imaginal way to see our lives in its reflection, while the I Ching describes and walks around the image to see how it changes. I use the Tarot and card decks to read alone or refine a received hexagram from the I Ching further.
We use these systems not to predict the future, but to gain perspective on the present. It offers a way to step outside of your own loop of thinking and see your situation from a wider, more archetypal lens. It helps you identify where you are in the cycle of change so you can move forward with trust.
This is not a substitute for psychotherapy. Our focus will be on elucidating and offering questions for what the card or hexagram might mean or bring up in you, and what the traditional themes are pointing to.
Symbol and Dream Exploration
30 mins | $80
50 mins | $120
There is a normal, causal, way to look at life and how it is ordered, but that stays centered on the ego and does not tell the full felt story of life. Under that is a symbolic way of relating to the world, of processing the metaphors and seeing the stories that make us up. This is for dreams that feel “numinous” and charged but unable to make sense out of, or symbols or images that feel important but unsure of what to do next.
This is not a substitute for psychotherapy. I will focus on helping you work through what questions to ask yourself for deeper understanding and what themes the symbol is connected to.
Virtual or In person in South Austin
Psychotherapy only available if resident of Texas and after 30 minute video consultation. All services require paperwork and an email exchange.
