Depth-Oriented Psychotherapy

Anxiety, trauma, burnout, the sense that you're functioning well and still not okay — these are not problems to be managed away as quickly as possible. They're signals worth understanding. This is long-term, reflective psychotherapy grounded in psychoanalytic depth and informed by contemplative psychology: the work of seeing clearly what's actually driving the pattern, so you're no longer run by it.

Most people who find their way here are capable and high-functioning on the outside, and carrying something underneath that hasn't resolved — anxiety that won't settle, the long aftereffects of trauma, a burnout that a vacation doesn't touch, or a quieter sense of identity misalignment: that the life you've built doesn't quite fit the person living it.

The focus is on understanding the underlying patterns that shape experience — not only what is happening, but why it continues to repeat.

You can suppress those signals, and the culture is happy to sell you faster ways to do it. This practice does something different. It treats anxiety, trauma, and burnout as worth understanding rather than silencing — because what's understood at depth stops having to run you from underneath. .

The Nature of the Work

Unconscious Patterns

Developing Psychological Flexibility Under Pressure

Unconscious Patterns

Patterns often persist not because they are visible, but because they operate outside of awareness. This work brings those patterns into view so they can be examined rather than repeated.

Examining Identity

Developing Psychological Flexibility Under Pressure

Unconscious Patterns

Psychological experience is shaped by internal structures formed over time. Exploring identity at this level allows for greater coherence and flexibility.

Developing Psychological Flexibility Under Pressure

representations of stress, capturing the essence of tension and pressure,

High-functioning individuals often operate under sustained pressure. This work supports the ability to remain psychologically adaptive without collapsing into rigidity or overwhelm.

Insight is not Enough

Developing Psychological Flexibility Under Pressure

Insight alone is not sufficient. The work focuses on integrating understanding into behavior, relationships, and decision-making over time.

Relational Patterns

Insight is not Enough

Relational Patterns

mages inspired by the themes of intimacy versus isolation,

Much of psychological life unfolds in relationship. Patterns formed early often reappear in subtle and persistent ways. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space where these patterns can be observed, experienced, and worked through directly.

Trauma & PTSD

Insight is not Enough

Relational Patterns

Depicting psychological trauma, designed depth of emotional wounds through symbolic elements.

If you have out-of-network (OON) insurance benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement.

I’m happy to provide the necessary documentation (a “superbill”) for you to submit directly to your insurance provider.

ATTUNEMENT

Attunement is foundational to this work: the capacity to sense, hold, and respond to where you actually are — responsive without being intrusive. It attends not only to what you say, but to how it's communicated: through tone, rhythm, the body, silence.

That responsiveness lets you risk depending on the work where you need to. And the moments it falters — held inside a relationship sturdy enough to survive them — are part of how something steadier gets built.

"It is through rupture and repair that we gradually internalize a more reliable sense of self and other."
