Dream Interpretation & Shadow Work NARCISSISTIC ABUSE RECOVERY
Certified Jungian Depth Coach with a specialization in dream interpretation and shadow work. Musician. Author of The Witch’s Daughter. Narcissistic abuse Survivor-Turned-Expert.
Hello! I'm Orenda Fink, a certified Jungian depth coach specializing in shadow work and dream interpretation. For much of my life, music was my primary creative outlet. However, as I approached midlife, I felt a powerful call towards deep personal growth work. This journey led me to confront my own experiences as a childhood narcissistic abuse survivor, culminating in my book, "The Witch's Daughter." Today, I combine my artistic sensibilities with my training as a Jungian practitioner to offer one-on-one coaching. My approach is designed to help you:
Explore the depths of your psyche
Interpret the wisdom hidden in your dreams
Confront and integrate your shadow aspects
Take conscious control of your life's narrative
Whether you're seeking to overcome past traumas, understand recurring patterns, or simply deepen your self-awareness, I'm here to guide you on your unique path of personal growth and empowerment by unlocking the power of your unconscious mind and helping you step into your fullest potential.
THE WITCH’S DAUGHTER
From her perch on a kitchen stool each night, Orenda Fink’s darkly charismatic mother spins family lore and tells tales of the supernatural powers she wields, insisting that both she and Orenda are magic.
When her mother’s substance abuse and controlling behavior crescendo, Orenda escapes to pursue a music career in Birmingham, Alabama, and then storied Athens, Georgia, forming bands Little Red Rocket and Azure Ray. She orbits the family home, always drawn back by her mother’s dark powers and her own need to solve the mystery of whether that claim of magic—or any magic—is real, or merely an expression of mental illness. Orenda’s journey takes her from churches in the American South—eager to exercise the demons out of her—to even more mysterious practitioners of country magic in the Southeast and beyond. Finally seeking refuge in California’s high desert, Orenda works to knit together her divided worlds with the help of a Jungian psychotherapist. She is stunned to learn that her mother fits many of the criteria associated with borderline personality disorder, including a sub-type identified by famed thought leader Christine Ann Lawson, known as “The Witch” — an aggressive, dominating figure who operates by fear-driven control, sometimes claiming to wield magic.
Told in spellbinding prose, this memoir of music, self-discovery, and compassion is for anyone who has had to conjure a safe place to call home.

WHAT IS SHADOW WORK?
By working on a deeper level with the personal and collective unconscious you can:
Free yourself from past conditioning
Move toward wholeness and empowerment
Connect to your own divine wisdom through a deeper understanding of dreams
Schedule TIME WITH ORENDA
Do you want to take control of your life? Do you want to consciously create your future? The key to both lies in understanding yourself on a deeper level. My process, using Jungian Shadow Work, Dream Interpretation and Active Imagination sheds light on unconscious patterns, fears and desires that control your life without your awareness. By making the unconscious conscious, you can free yourself from past conditioning and become the creator of your future. This process is what Jung called Individuation, a movement away from the ego and to the limitless potential of the true Self.
What if you can’t remember your dreams? No problem. We can do Shadow Work with conscious triggers and active imagination. Many times, once you start the process, you will start remembering your dreams as the unconscious responds to your quest for wholeness.
FAQ
-
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded the idea of analytical psychology. Jung’s theory was that humans had a spiritual drive—a desire to know and return to their own spiritual nature. One of his primary contributions to psychology was the concept of Individuation—the process of growing beyond the ego and seeing the True Self. The journey to the Self is facilitated in our sessions through Dream Interpretation, Shadow Work and Active Imagination.
-
Dreams are a bridge from the unconscious mind to the conscious mind. They provide a unique and unparalleled insight into your own psychic processes and always come in service to your health and wholeness. By understanding and uncovering the symbolic language in your dreams, you can receive direct messages from your Higher Self, which aids in your process of Individuation.
-

While you are welcome to book a single session, I highly recommend committing to weekly sessions for 3-6 months for real and lasting personal transformation.
