Coming Home To Your Self

 A Collaborative, Integrative Approach to Therapy

Therapy is deeply personal, and everyone responds to a unique blend of support, insight, and challenge. I approach sessions collaboratively, shaping our work around your needs, goals, and pace.

Bridging Behavioral and Depth-Oriented Therapies

Early in my career, I trained extensively in behavioral approaches like CBT, DBT, ERP, and ACT. Over time, though, I found that while these methods can be incredibly helpful for managing symptoms and building coping skills, they often fall short in creating lasting change. If it were only about willpower or new habits, most of us would have it figured out by now.

Our struggles are rarely just about behavior. They’re often rooted in old wounds, unspoken emotions, and parts of ourselves we don’t fully understand. It can feel discouraging to have “done all the right things” yet still find yourself repeating the same patterns. I often hear people say, “I know I don’t want to do this anymore, but I keep falling back into it,” or “I know my reaction doesn’t make sense, but I can’t seem to change it.” It’s exhausting to keep white-knuckling your way through life.

Real change means slowing down and looking deeper—being curious about what’s underneath, what your symptoms are trying to say, and how they might be pointing toward what needs care.

This understanding led me to depth-oriented therapy, drawing from Jungian and psychoanalytic traditions. These approaches offer a more holistic path to healing—one that honors mind, body, and spirit; past and present; and the ongoing story of who you’re becoming.

Depth-Oriented Healing

At the heart of my work is the integration of depth-oriented exploration with practical, skills-based support. Together, we move beyond symptom relief to gently explore deeper emotional wounds, patterns, and relational dynamics that shape your experience.  We pay attention to the body’s signals and natural rhythms, and listen to the wisdom that emerges through dreams, symbols, spirituality, and other expressions of Self. In doing so, we begin to understand the deeper patterns that keep you feeling stuck—how they once served to protect you, and how they can now be softened or released. This process allows what’s been hidden to come forward and helps you reconnect with who you are beneath the layers of coping and protection.

This approach honors the complexity of your life—helping you navigate day-to-day challenges while also moving toward deeper, lasting transformation. It creates space to live with greater authenticity, presence, and a grounded connection to your Self.
