Depth therapy focuses on addressing underlying issues rather than just treating surface symptoms. My practice offers a holistic, trauma informed approach where we work together to explore internal stressors, attachment styles, childhood wounds, and unconscious beliefs that may be impacting your present choices. Together we'll identify strategies to better navigate life’s challenges, such as grief and loss, divorce, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting, life or career transitions, relocation, acculturation, aging, menopause, empty nesting, retirement, family dynamics, feelings of being lost or lonely.
I integrate Depth Psychology, Sandplay Therapy, Play Therapy, EMDR, SoulCollage & Expressive Art Therapies to facilitate unconscious material to come to the surface for processing at a pace that feels safe for you. All forms of Expressive Arts Therapies complement Talk Therapy and are optional based on each client's needs and interest.
Therapy, for me is not about “fixing” people but about helping them rediscover who they truly are. I believe inner growth begins when we feel seen, understood, and free to be ourselves. It would be an honor to walk beside you as you take steps toward healing, growth, and wholeness.
