Depth Psychology & Somatic Therapy

Integrating Jungian, Psychodynamic & Body-Centered Methods

The unconscious reveals itself through oblique language—symbol, metaphor, emotion, sensation, intuition. Each offers wisdom, creativity, and healing. What dreams and fantasies thread through your sleeping and waking? What synchronicities stir you out of complacency? What lies beneath the blanketing depression or the gnawing anxiety? What patterns repeat themselves until we finally ask what they are trying to tell us?

Asking these questions means attending to what has shaped us just beneath awareness: the early relationships that formed templates for loving and being loved, the traumas that left their imprint, the parts of ourselves we learned to hide or disown. And it means listening to the body's wisdom—the sensations, symptoms, and intuitions that carry what cannot yet be spoken.

Tending to the Psyche

The psyche holds what has been forgotten, never known, or was unseeable and unbearable—not just the wounds, but also unlived potential, creativity suppressed, wildness tamed. Shadow work is not only about uncovering what is dark or painful, but also about reclaiming the light that has been disowned.

We explore night dreams and daydreams. We notice the themes that emerge across time: the figures who appear, the landscapes you inhabit, the conflicts that arise. What shows up in dreams often shows up in life—in recurring relational dynamics, in the ways you protect or reveal yourself, in the roles you find yourself playing without conscious choice.

Shadow work and dreamwork become pathways to this hidden wisdom, inviting us to integrate what has been split off or disowned. A dream of public exposure might speak of a persona that has become too rigid. A recurring image of water might point to the unconscious itself, or to emotions you have not yet named. An encounter with an animal might embody a specific instinctual energy asking to be acknowledged.

Journey of Individuation

Symbols and archetypes are not abstract concepts—they are teachers and guides. As a chrysalis follows an indwelling intelligence during metamorphosis, the individual psyche operates on its own timeline, and growth cannot be rushed. Through dreamwork and shadow work, the unconscious offers symbols to guide the journey of its unique unfolding—it knows the right balance, the right timing, the right way. Our work is learning to listen to the innate wisdom of your psyche.
