THE BOOK
The deep and shadowed aspects of life are valuable, transformative, and can be approached in ways that are often overlooked.
Forged in Darkness explores the psychological parallels between life's inevitable darkness and the heroes and gods of the Greek mythic underworld. By blending myth with Jungian psychology, the book invites readers to reframe the underworld as a powerful source of wisdom and transformation.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Jungian psychology engages the whole person—conscious and unconscious, body and mind, thought and emotion, waking and dreaming, past and present, spirit and soul. Together, we will explore the depths of the psyche using symbols, dreams, imagination, and insight to connect with inner influences. Our goal is to clear away what no longer serves us, allowing the authentic Self to emerge and be expressed.
