The call to begin therapy usually begins with a difficulty of some kind: various forms of emotional suffering, persistent challenges in relationships, encounters with the effects of trauma, an elusive sense of "stuckness" or existential uneasiness, and other crises mild or severe. These "symptoms" call us to bring caring and curious attention to where it is needed — below the surface of whatever it is that troubles us. Depth psychotherapy is means of making contact with what ordinarily lies beyond our conscious awareness. Very often, our suffering calls us to a deeper life and leads to unexpected places.
My approach is always initially nondirective: we begin by making space and listening, together, for what feels most relevant here and now. Depending on your particular situation and needs, I may introduce mindfulness, somatic awareness, parts work, (i.e., Internal Family Systems, or IFS), dream work, imaginal attunement, and relational inquiry.
I'll be eager to get a sense for who you are, what you are struggling with, and what matters most deeply to you as you follow your calling toward therapeutic work. Feel free to reach out for a consultation call to see if we will be well-matched to work together.

Whatever it is that brings you into therapy, I'll bring a depth-oriented frame to help you. This may include mindfulness practice, bringing attention to the body, working with dreams and images, and tending to the relationship between us. Over time, working in this way can increase insight, clarify your desires, reduce distress, and expand your sense of agency in life.
