Maven Hardwich

Driven psychology undergraduate with a strong foundation in psychoanalytic theory, existential philosophy, and symbolic systems of the mind. Blending rigorous academic research with passion for clinical depth, I am pursuing a career in psychoanalysis and forensic psychology. Adept at interweaving Freudian, Jungian, and Lacanian frameworks with myth, literature, and philosophy, I seek to challenge conventional therapeutic models while consulting in high-stakes forensic settings. Currently undertaking independent research on ambition and transcendence through mythological and psychological lenses.
