Depth Therapy

Our therapists are here to listen and create space for you in a way that facilitates deep insight and healing. We welcome your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, relationships, dreams, and life stories. By exploring the symbolic world from a psycho-spiritual perspective of soul-making, we can come to understand how the soul creates and expresses itself through images and symbols. The process can lead to a greater sense of self and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Through the study of dreams, images, symptoms, slips of the tongue, spontaneous humor, meaningful coincidences as well as interpersonal engagements. Depth psychological approaches attempt to help individuals become aware of what has been cast out of consciousness or not yet able to be known. Healing is associated with allowing what has been repressed, rejected, denied or ignored to come forward so that the person can understand, explore its significance and integrate it, allowing for a transform

Depth therapy focuses on exploring aspects of your unconscious or parts of self that are difficult to access on your own. It's used to uncover unconscious thoughts or beliefs that impact your present situation.

Within psychodynamic approaches, depth and Jungian orientations offer a creative view of the human psyche. The presence of story, imagination, dream-tending, art, expression, association, intuition, and the numinous are appreciated within the therapeutic relationship. These elements help to reveal unconscious material, personal, and collective complexes that are influencing one’s life and relationships.

The ability to symbolize is the cornerstone of mental health. Depth therapy involves many things like our shadows, the unconscious part of our personalities that we do not readily show to others, but it also involves looking at how our personal lives and conflicts are deeply tied to the collective unconscious through archetypal patterns that speak through us all, whether we like it or not. Depth therapy involves going below the surface of our conscious awareness.

Another term for this therapy more accurately naming what I practice in most sessions is Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is a newer term for what was once called Depth-Oriented Brief Therapy. This approach is a 'bottom up' way of processing and healing CPTSD and old inner-child wounds that are so commonly seen in highly-sensitive people. Often, wounds that have stuck with us in some way since childhood randomly present themselves in adulthood, causing frustrating effects in need of healing.

In addition to psychodynamic theory, I also drawn on neuroscience, consciousness studies, spiritual traditions, and attachment theory to inform my depth-oriented approach.

I specialize in Depth therapy, which considers the unconscious aspects of mental health and overall wellbeing.

In depth (AKA psychodynamic) therapy, we work to uncover the unconscious patterns and beliefs that contribute to the outer symptoms and struggles that often manifest as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, burnout, and more. This isn't a quick fix, yet I generally find that my clients benefit more quickly from this than they often expect. Whatever is bringing you to therapy right now, if we want to make it stop, we have to learn why it's happening.

Throughout grad school and since, I have studied Depth Psychology. In particular, the work of Carl Jung. I also have experience as a client of Jungian analysis. I am fascinated with how engaging with unconscious content can help us learn so much about ourselves at a deep level, and through that help us find meaning and bring about transformation.

My journey into depth psychotherapy began during my undergraduate studies in German, Psychology, and Sociology, continued with my doctoral work in German, Jewish, and Scandinavian Studies, and expanded with my master’s work in counseling. My work is based on the principles of Jungian psychology, Eastern and Western philosophies, thanatology, gender studies, and attachment theory.

We can work together on your dreams and your self-expression through art work, poetry, creative writing, etc., to help gain insight into the patterns being played out in your life. I completed my Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with an emphasis in depth psychotherapy from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2018.

Depth oriented therapy includes exploration of unconscious as well as conscious thoughts/feelings. Unconscious processes are often responsible for obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviors and for persistent or repetitive patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Focusing treatment on the unconscious can yield longer-lasting and ongoing improvement versus focusing on symptoms alone.

Depth Therapy aims to uncover deep-rooted experiences that are influencing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By delving deeper, I guide individuals on a transformative journey of self-discovery, addressing core issues to foster authentic growth. With a focus on creating a safe and exploratory therapeutic space, I help clients unravel hidden narratives, fostering a richer understanding of themselves to create lasting, positive change.
