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 patterns rather than managing or suppressing them. It invites deliberate attention to what is asking to be seen, felt, and lived — 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 patterns, 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 not about fixing, but about listening closely. This kind of attunement helps reveal the roots of anxiety, depression, and recurring patterns, not just how to manage them, but why they arise in the first place.

The psyche carries its own intelligence. What returns is often not merely a symptom, but a direction — the movement of the deeper self asking to be noticed and lived. What emerges through this process becomes the material of change.

Working with Emotions in Depth Therapy

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, dreams, metaphors, or felt descriptions. When an emotion can be seen or sensed rather than only endured, it becomes more bearable and centering.

Bringing What Is Unconscious Into Awareness

Carl Jung wrote that the task of a human life is not to remain unconscious, nor to be overtaken by what arises, but to develop a conscious relationship with the forces that shape us. This does not mean forcing insight or engaging in endless inner questioning, 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.

In therapy, attention is paid to what repeats, what intensifies, and what becomes difficult to trace.
I help reflect patterns as they are happening, so they can be seen and tested in real time, making more visible what is usually felt or repeated.

In this work, therapist and client attend to what is emerging, allowing understanding and meaning to develop naturally, without forcing outcomes. This is what makes lasting change possible.

A Practice of Integration

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

A Relational Encounter

Therapy is relational. The psyche responds to careful presence, depth calls to depth, abyssus vocat abyssum. The work unfolds as a collaborative process: together, we attend to how past and present experience shape perception, emotion, and relationship. This is not a retreat from reality, but a way of seeing more clearly how you actually move through the world.

Through this shared attention, recurring patterns come into view, old emotional wounds can be worked with rather than repeated, and new ways of relating become possible.

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 human 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. Rather than forcing solutions or assigning blame, we stay with these responses with curiosity and care, allowing what has been unmet, unspoken, or long defended to come into view. In this shared attention, deeper change takes root.

While the language of depth therapy may be unfamiliar at first, the work itself is grounded, relational, and closely connected to everyday life.

Following the Currents of the Psyche

Each session is an encounter with the deeper currents of your life — a space where creativity, insight, and resilience can reawaken. 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 draw you toward wholeness.
