Depth Therapy

Throughout grad school and since I have been deeply engaged with the unconscious. I studied Depth psychology and particularly Carl Jung for many years. I have also been a client of Depth therapy off and on for many years. I am fascinated with how developing engagement with unconscious content can teach us so much about our lives and through that help us find meaning and transform us.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – C. G. Jung. Depth therapy honors both our inner and outer life, and views symptoms not as ‘problems,’ but as the voice of our soul speaking out. In therapy, we will enter on a collaborative and creative journey to explore and integrate the unconscious and conscious aspects of your experience, and help you find meaning, Self-understanding, and greater freedom in all aspects of your life.

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.

Sometimes it can be felt but not seen; known but not known; experienced but not understood. Depth therapy works on the level of the psyche, the soul, the unconscious, subconscious, and collective unconscious. Messages from the psyche come in the form of symbols, such as dreams, music, and art. Depth work can help decode these symbolic messages, helping to make the unconscious conscious. In my view, Depth Therapy falls in the spiritual realm of healing.

I earned a Master's degree in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. This field of psychology delves into the unconscious mind to uncover the root causes of psychological distress. Essential techniques in depth psychology include shadow work, dream analysis, and exploration of early childhood experiences. By exploring the deeper layers of the psyche, practitioners aim to integrate unresolved emotional issues and promote personal growth and healing.

The type of psychotherapy I practice explores in-depth processing of difficult emotional and relational experiences. The ultimate goal is to achieve long lasting change and relief so you can move forward in a way that is right for you.

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

Through the study of dreams, images, symptoms, slips of the tongue, spontaneous humor, coincidences & interpersonal engagements. This work attempts 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 & integrate it, allowing for a transformation in consciousness.

Depth psychotherapy is a dynamic exploration of your life. Taken with a trusted and skilled guide, this collaborative journey can bring long-lasting relief from suffering and freedom from deeply engrained, self-defeating and unconscious patterns that keep you from being your self in the world and from living a more fulfilling life.

I am a depth therapist. I didn't know this when I first became a therapist but soon found that my tendency to bring into the room deeper ways of knowing, ways of feeling, deeper ways of being ourselves. I ran to learn then about Psychoanalytic therapies, dream work therapies and any therapy that expanded the meaning of our lives both as we live in the body and through self/life stories. I bring my learning and natural pull into depth into my work now. Therapy with me will make more vibrant your

Depth psychotherapy aims to address what lies hidden under the surface. Most of our memories, desires, and self-knowledge is locked away in the unconscious, and therefore we remain a mystery to ourselves. Depth psychotherapy helps shines light on the shadows of our psyche into order to reintegrate them as part of our consciousness awareness. We can access the unconscious through symbols, archetypes, mythology, poetry, art, dance and ritual. Soul, spirt, source, and psyche are often integral.

Depth therapy, also known as depth psychology or depth psychotherapy, refers to therapeutic approaches that explore unconscious processes and dynamics within an individual's psyche. Unlike more structured and focused therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), depth therapy seeks to uncover and understand underlying, often unconscious, motivations, conflicts, and patterns that may influence a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Contemporary depth psychology focuses on the value of linking the conscious self with what is shut out of conscious awareness, i.e. the unconscious self. This approach also called “psychodynamic” or “psychoanalytic” can be applied to helping to explore and resolve childhood and intergenerational socio-cultural trauma. Depth therapy may make use of dreamwork, shadow work, creative process, memories, inner child and family work, and exploration of hidden strengths. --

Depth therapy is meant usually for people who feel they don't understand why life hasn't felt satisfying to them, why nothing works out over the long term, and why perhaps their relationships have been unsuccessful. Most of these issues involve unconscious conflicts and feelings that need to be uncovered over time. With the right help, though, someone can become much more successful over time, both in work and in love.
