Depth Therapy

Depth therapy is a therapeutic practice based on the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung. Depth therapy is founded on the belief that most mental health issues are caused by unconscious motivations and that revealing and exploring these motivations is the key to healing. Although there are many different approaches that fall under the umbrella of depth therapy, one unifying goal of therapists who specialize in depth therapy is to integrate the unconscious mind with the conscious.

Depth psychology acknowledges that often times we are unaware of why we do what we do. Instead of merely addressing symptoms, depth therapy seeks to get the the root of problems by addressing the underlying dynamics that cause them. I will soon have a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology and my training has been explicitly depth oriented since I began my graduate training.

Founded by Carl Jung, depth psychology understands that our individual psyches are informed by collective, archetypal elements. Our problems, issues, and fears are often rooted in the unconscious, or what Jung called our shadow. Instead of simply changing unwanted behaviors, depth psychology helps us address the root cause. Depth psychology can help you navigate the turbulent waters of life by framing your life and struggles in the context of the greater web of human experiences throughout time.

I have a master's in depth psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. Depth therapy is a matter of deep, engaged listening and holding aspects of life with sacredness. Different from pathologizing treads in therapy, we seek the unique support needed to courageously move towards deeper feelings in order to loosen the knots keeping you stuck. This journey connects us to our life spirit and paradoxically deepens joy and freedom.

Depth therapy refers to an approach to the human psyche that acknowledges the activity of the unconscious in life. 'Unconscious' is simply a scientific term that designates something as unknown. Curiosity about the unknown dynamics and structures upon which our consciousness is based is necessary for the therapist as well as for the patient of depth-oriented therapy.

While I am experienced in, and often use a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I am heart and soul a depth psychotherapist. I was trained at one of the only depth psychology schools in the country, Pacifica Graduate Institute. For those unfamiliar with depth psychology, I describe it as an approach that takes a person's unconscious into account just as much as the presenting issues.

Depth therapy includes psychodynamic and transpersonal approaches to psychotherapy—meaning, we will look beneath the surface level of your symptoms to discover how to heal and integrate, as well as discover threads of meaning woven through your inner and outer experiences that connect you with the web of life. We may use parts work, relationship, dreams, body, art, and the "here-and-now"/present-centered approaches in therapy.

Depth psychotherapy delves into the underlying, often unconscious, aspects of the psyche to address issues at their roots. Unlike more surface-level approaches, it explores the depths of one's experiences, emotions, and patterns, aiming for profound and lasting transformation. By uncovering hidden motivations, unresolved conflicts, and unconscious beliefs, individuals can gain insight into their behaviors and find healing from within. This is my primary method and the root of my masters degree.

We look at how early experiences & relationships shape the ways you show up today. I help you explore how habituated behaviors and thinking patterns that once served you might be holding you back.

Theoretically I draw from depth and Jungian psychology, psychodynamic, attachment and system's approaches. This simply means that in our work together, I pay attention to and integrate information that rises from the unconscious through your dreams and images, your body's sensations, creative instinct, as well as more conscious realities such as your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, actions, relationships and other important practicalities of life. This approach tends to be more enriching to you.

A Depth psychological approach means, in part, that the soul (psyche) of the individual is expected to BE a major player in our work together. This is in addition to the rational mind or 'ego', and 'the soul's voice' is going to be expressing its greatest desire for this individual. We must listen to subtle, unconscious communications as we invite in the healing impulse of psyche.

I draw from Jungian and transpersonal psychotherapies, understanding that spiritual, archetypal, and physical worlds all intersect and influence our personal health. In this way of working, I seek to help you find wholeness through the integration of shadow, unconscious, and the wisdom of the archetypal world. We will work with your dreams, create art, and dialogue with different archetypal figures emerging from your psyche.
