Depth Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples
Jungian and Relational Psychoanalysis 

Psychotherapy that aims to change our life is no "quick fix." But it really works when the relationship between a seasoned practitioner and a dedicated client works.

Your job is to come forward and say what you want when you want to say it. Talk as honestly as you can and keep going from within yourself. If you like, tell me your dreams. My job is to listen (and keep listening) and offer you my feelings, ideas, and intuitions. In these ways we'll bring to light the unconscious life-themes that work against you and access the wisdom of your body and mind to outgrow stubborn patterns.

Depth psychotherapy is a spiritual endeavor as well as a psychological one. Our goal is to liberate the spirit (which wants to grow) from its prison cell (which we build out of fear). The journey might be hard work, but it can also be playful and humorous. In my practice nearly all clients feel supported and unburdened. Gradually they notice their sense of being is expanding. They feel a broader range of emotional responses, a lessening of stuck, repetitive symptoms, and increased freedom to love and work. Life begins to feel like a creative adventure.
