Dreams & inner life
Giving attention to dream images and the feelings they carry, with curiosity about their meaning in your life.
Jungian analysis · Individual work
Make room for your depths.
When life leaves you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or without direction, the problem itself may be asking for your attention to what is beneath it. Jungian Analysis offers a place to listen to those depths through your dreams, feelings, and the parts of yourself you may not yet know.
“From the psychic depths which cast up the powers of destruction the rescuing forces will also come.”— C. G. Jung, CW 11:532
Wade Poulson, Jungian Analyst in training (final stage of certification)
The work
Begin with what is happening.
Anxiety, grief, or a loss of meaning can interrupt the life you expected. I am interested in what these difficulties may be asking of you, and in the potential that can remain hidden within them.
No two paths are identical. We may work with dreams, recurring patterns, relationships, and images as they arise. I do not dictate where the work should lead; we follow what your experience brings forward.

Practical questions
Before we begin
How do sessions take place?
I currently offer individual sessions online by Zoom for adults. My availability is limited; please contact me to ask about current openings.
Do I need to bring a dream?
No. You can begin with whatever is most present for you. Dreams will likely become part of the work as we get to know each other.
What are the fees?
Individual sessions are $150 with a limited sliding scale offered for serious seekers of analysis. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to determine whether working together is a fit. Please confirm current fees and availability directly with me.
Does insurance cover sessions?
Analysis is not typically covered by insurance. A superbill may be available upon request; any reimbursement depends on your plan.
