When something in your life no longer fits–
but you're not sure what comes next
You may feel stuck, restless, or uncertain.
What once worked no longer does.
The questions are deeper now—about identity, relationships, purpose, and what is asking to change.
I don’t offer quick fixes or surface-level strategies.
My work helps you uncover the underlying patterns—often unconscious—that shape how you think, relate, and make decisions.
When those patterns become visible, something shifts. Clarity emerges. And new choices become possible.
I work with clients virtually throughout the US.
How I Work
Depth psychology coaching begins with whatever is happening in your life right now. A relationship that isn't working. A decision you can't make. A recurring emotional reaction you don't understand. A dream that won't leave you alone. A sense that something needs to change, even though you can't quite name what it is.
We start there.
Then we look beneath the obvious story.
Together, we pay attention to dreams, emotional reactions, recurring patterns, images, memories, fantasies, and other material from the unconscious. Using Jungian and depth psychology concepts, I help you develop a different relationship with what is emerging rather than simply trying to think your way out of it.
As your understanding deepens, your perspective begins to shift. You may recognize a projection, uncover an old pattern, discover a desire you hadn't acknowledged, or see a situation from an entirely new angle.
Then comes the most important part: bringing the insight back into your life.
New awareness creates new choices. We explore what those choices might require and experiment with ways of living, relating, deciding, and acting that are more aligned with who you are becoming.
The goal isn't to give you answers.
It's to help you develop a deeper relationship with your own capacity to find them.
One Client's Experience
“I needed more than strategies for changing my behavior.
I needed to understand why I kept repeating the same patterns.”
My journey into depth psychology began unexpectedly when I participated in one of Dr. Lukovich's dream workshops. I had never explored dreams this way before, but her ability to introduce complex depth psychology concepts in an accessible, practical way immediately drew me in.
I eventually began working with her individually, and what I discovered was very different from traditional coaching. Rather than simply focusing on what I should do differently, Dr. Lukovich helped me explore why I was responding the way I was. Through dreams, active imagination, Jungian concepts, and examination of my own life experiences, I began recognizing unconscious patterns that had been influencing my relationships and decisions for years.
Her approach gave me a language for understanding things I could feel but couldn't previously explain. It also permitted me to follow where the work led, even when the original issue wasn't the deepest issue that needed attention.
I came to understand that disrupting old patterns requires more than willpower. It requires curiosity, self-reflection, and a willingness to discover what is operating beneath the surface.

Different Doorways
Midlife Unraveling
What many people call a midlife crisis is, in fact, a normal psychological passage. Midlife unraveling is the process of remembering who you were before life required you to adapt, perform, and succeed in particular ways.
In my work, we slow down the reflex to fix, interpret symptoms symbolically, and create space for what is trying to emerge through your dreams, emotions, relationships, and body.
Relationships
Every relationship, no matter how long, carries a hidden agenda — not in a manipulative sense. By midlife, we may have outgrown a relationship. Our psyche might be less willing to maintain old compromises. What we’ve disowned, delayed, or adapted to becomes untenable. Anxiety, exhaustion, headaches, injuries or illness, fantasies, or strong urges we can't resist are all ways our unconscious is trying to get us to explore what's beneath the surface.
It's complicated and it's sacred work to uncover the deeper meaning of our relationships, no matter how long they last.
Dreams and the Unconscious
Dreams are a direct route to your unconscious because your ego is not standing guard while you sleep, but the mind is stubborn. During midlife, dreams often become more vivid, emotional, or disruptive. As the psyche reorganizes itself, dreams help regulate the nervous system and prepare you to meet truths that cannot yet be lived consciously. Rather than pushing for clarity, dream work allows meaning to emerge at a pace your body can tolerate.
Depth of Wisdom Program
Whether you're already experiencing an identity crisis, feeling confused about a relationship or career, or sensing there's a deeper sense of purpose waiting for you, you can go as slow as you want. If you're the kind of person who is all in, you might be interested in an accelerated journey to exploring your unconscious. Not only is my Depth of Wisdom program tailored to your style of learning and self-reflection, but the initial Depth of Wisdom Questionnaire also allows me to gain insights about you and your life right up front, before we even begin.
What Became Possible
From Success to Fulfillment
"After exhausting conventional therapy, I realized I had traded happiness for societal notions of success. Then I met my depth psychology coach. Through active imagination and dream analysis, I broke free from my self-imposed prison. Unlike traditional therapy, our sessions explored taboo topics and unraveled the complexities of my psyche. I began to believe I could live on my terms, even trading a high-status career for genuine fulfillment. Now, I recognize the impact of my thoughts and reactions, rediscovering the joy of living free from societal expectations.
