Jungian Therapy?
These days there are more forms of therapy on offer than there are big words in Moira Rose's vocabulary. They all want to help alleviate your suffering, and they all offer different roadmaps for how to get you there.
​
Most of those maps point backward, understanding current symptoms to be the reverberations of past trauma. The Jungian map is unique in that it primarily points forward. The psyche is understood to be more than just the accumulation of past events or current stressors. The psyche is purposive, full of potential that "wants" to be lived.
​
From this view, symptoms like anxiety or depression don't mean that you are damaged. They mean that you are called to become something larger and more expansive than you currently know how to be. The purpose of Jungian therapy is to help you learn how to embody that potential. The fact that your symptoms resolve along the way is, in the words of the great Bob Ross, a "happy accident."
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

about me
Hello and thanks for visiting my site! I'm Zack, a fellow creative, sensitive weirdo who has always felt a little odd and out of place but proud of that. I'm a Leo with 6 planets in fire, so if you know you know.
I love people and am completely fascinated with the human experience in all its depth and mystery. Outside of my work as a therapist: I'm a musician immersed in my own imagination; an animal lover doting on my boxer-pit, husky, and Russian blue cat; a writer and educator who obsessively researches the body-mind connection and the larger relationship between consciousness and the material world.
Aside from spending a lazy Sunday getting lost in Pink Floyd's The Wall on vinyl, I think the most enlivening thing in the world for me is to witness my clients awakening to and embracing their true potential. I'm grateful everyday for the work that I have been called to do.
