Depth-Psychotherapy in Salem, Oregon, and online
What if the purpose of therapy wasn't to fix yourself, but to encounter yourself?
Many people arrive at therapy with the hope of fixing what’s gone wrong in their inner worlds, relationships, and larger lives. Maybe there’s a specific problem you want to address, or perhaps there’s something less defined that you’re turning away from or reaching toward: a deeper understanding of who you are, a grasp of what your inner world is all about, a clearer sense of how you got here and why the patterns you’re in seem to reassert themselves just when you think you’ve made it beyond them.
If you’ve found your way here, you may already have a sense that the type of psychological change you’re looking for is going to require something that goes beyond symptom management. You’re seeking relief, but more than that, you’re wanting a space to grow in insight and understanding, a place to slow down long enough to learn to be with yourself.
This is the type of work I love to do.
I’m a licensed psychologist offering depth-oriented, psychodynamic therapy for individual adults. My focus lies in helping people connect to their inner landscape and enter into ways of being that feel more enriched, more expressive, and more authentic to who they wish to be.
My work is unhurried and open-ended, less focused on finding solutions than on building insight, awareness, and understanding. This is spacious therapy, the type that doesn’t move toward a predetermined outcome, but creates the conditions for insight and change to emerge as we go along.
Wherever you are in your journey, I bring a collaborative and curious presence to join you. An openness to the process and a willingness to commit is enough to begin.
If you're curious about whether this kind of work might be right for you, I am honored to hear from you and welcome your inquiry. I offer an initial consultation to connect more.
