Depth Therapy

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. --

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.

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.

Having trained in Depth Psychotherapy techniques, I work with individuals and groups to understand themselves better by learning about how patterns and behaviors are often shaped in our earlier years. Coming to appreciate how those coping mechanisms helped us when we were young and how they are no longer useful frees us up to live our best life.

Many forms of therapy are like placing a Band-Aid over an untreated wound. Depth-oriented therapy helps you go beneath the surface. Diving deep in therapy allows you to get to the root of the issues and problems you're facing so that you can free yourself up to live a more rich and meaningful life.

We like to think we know everything, but doing this work it's become apparent there's a lot more going on than we can see. Beneath our everyday lives, there's a vibrant world of hidden thoughts, feelings, images and sensations, all acting on us in ways we don't realize. So when we look at personal transformation, it's not just about solving problems and becoming a better person, but learning about and respecting the great forces that are always working below our awareness.

Depth therapy is about committing to the inward journey to help us better understand our personalities, impulses, tendencies, and unconscious thoughts and behaviors. We are all very complex beings and taking the long-term journey is sometimes needed to break through our own defenses and self-defeating behaviors and thoughts. When negative core beliefs are deeply imbedded in our psyches it takes some time to unlearn behaviors and thoughts and grow from our vulnerabilities.

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.

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.

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

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

I attended Pacifica Graduate Institute, a renowned school for Depth Psychology. My practice focuses on attending to your underlying core beliefs that are keeping you stuck in painful patterns.

I practice psychoanalytic therapy from a depth-psychology perspective. This means that treatment with me is geared towards longer term exploration of how the past informs your present relationships. We will examine what relational dynamics that you learned in chilhood are still playing out within the therapeutic relationship in real time.
