Depth Therapy

Beneath the routines of daily life, parts of ourselves are often set aside in order to keep going — experiences, feelings, and truths left by the side of the road. When unattended, they can return as anxiety, depression, or recurring themes.

Depth therapy is a way of turning toward these repeating dynamics rather than managing or suppressing them. It is an investigation into what is asking for place in your life — not as a problem to eliminate, but as something carrying meaning and direction.

In practice, this means understanding why familiar struggles keep returning, even when insight, motivation, or coping strategies are already present.

Listening Beneath the Symptoms

Where symptom-focused approaches aim to correct what is visible, depth therapy attends to what lives underneath: the familiar cycles, emotions, images, and unlived potentials that shape life from below the surface. This may include symbolic material such as dreams, which often give form to what has not yet reached conscious language. This work is about listening closely to the roots of distress — not simply managing it, but understanding why it returns.

We work with symptoms, and we listen for what is driving them.

The psyche carries its own intelligence. What returns is often not merely a symptom, but a direction. What emerges through this process becomes the substance for change.

Working with Emotions

Strong emotions often feel overwhelming not because of their intensity alone, but because they have no form. Anxiety, grief, or anger can move through the body as raw intensity, leaving us unsettled and ungrounded. In therapy, the felt experience changes when those emotions begin to take shape through images, metaphors, or specific descriptions. When an emotion can be seen rather than only endured, it becomes a source of information rather than only a source of distress.

Bringing What Is Unconscious Into Awareness

Carl Jung wrote that the task of a human life is to develop a conscious relationship with the forces that shape us. This does not mean forcing insight, but expanding our capacity to meet what arises, so it can be understood and integrated rather than acted out.

Depth therapy works at the intersection of inner and outer life, where emotions, images, and repeating themes are approached neither as problems to eliminate nor truths to be obeyed, but as movements asking for a place in lived experience.

I help reflect patterns as they are happening. We notice what repeats and what intensifies, making visible in real-time what is usually only felt or repeated.

In this work, therapist and client attend to what is emerging without forcing outcomes. This is how change takes hold.

Depth Therapy as Integration

This work attends to the psyche’s patterns, longings, shadows, and quiet wisdom. It is a sustained attention to what has been fragmented, overlooked, or left behind. Here, the fabric of your inner life, including thoughts, memories, and emotions, becomes the ground of change.

A Relational Encounter

Therapy is relational. The psyche responds to presence, depth calls to depth, abyssus vocat abyssum. We work together to see how your history and your present experience are shaping how you move through the world.

Through this attention, recurring themes come into view, old emotional wounds can be worked with rather than repeated, and new ways of relating begin to take shape.

The Work Is Done in the Space Between

Depth therapy attends not only to the stories, memories, and images that arise, but also to what unfolds in the therapy room. The reactions that surface, warmth or distance, trust or hesitation, clarity or confusion, are not interruptions to the work. They are the work. Therapy is an invitation to speak in your own voice, even when it trembles.

These moments often carry the imprint of earlier relationships, alive and active in the present. We stay with these responses. This allows what has been long defended to come into view, creating the space where deeper change takes root.

Following the Currents of the Psyche

Each session is a space where deeper currents of life can be encountered. This process is patient and attuned, alive to complexity, and it often asks for honesty and courage.

This is a space to explore, to listen, and to follow the movements that reorganize how life is lived.
