What is Depth psychotherapy?

​

Depth therapy is a perspective and a soul based orientation toward symptoms and issues in our lives. "Depth" refers to what is below the surface of current thoughts, behaviors, dreams, fantasies, and somatic symptoms. A depth approach to psychotherapy searches to uncover the unconscious factors that are at the root of symptoms showing up in our lives. Rather than mimicking a simplistic goal of most Western medicines, to just get rid of the symptom or cover it up, we can honor the symptom as a calling of the psyche to a deeper healing or wholeness. By looking deeper, we can see that  our insomnia, or over-eating, or crying (as examples) is trying to point toward what is really happening in our lives. We can then begin to explore what we need to support an authentic solution and healing.

Part of the work I provide includes dream work, exploration into archetypes and mythology, and imaginal work as some of the ways to tap into these unconscious factors at the root of symptoms and behaviors. My wish and intention for you as my client, is that through our work together, you will find freedom from past defeating patterns of behavior to live an authentic, meaningful life.
