Depth Psychotherapy | Limina Healing Arts

What This Work Is

Not a problem to be solved, but a life to be met — with curiosity, rigor, and enough patience to let the real material surface.

This is depth-oriented psychotherapy — sometimes called dynamic psychotherapy. It investigates the mind, and especially the unconscious mind, through carefully guided introspection, listening, and observation. It can help when the difficulty lies in how you think and feel about yourself, the world, and your relationships with others.

Rather than treating a current struggle in isolation, this work tries to understand its connection to challenges that have been present for a long time — exploring the larger, long-term causes and solutions to a present-day question, often guided by dreams, fantasies, and emotional experience as they arise.

The approach draws on Jungian psychology, object relations (Fairbairn), and the work of Wilfred Bion, alongside relational and psychodynamic therapy more broadly. In practice, this means we move slowly. We follow what's alive rather than rushing toward resolution. We make room for what doesn't yet have words.

For some, this looks like working with a recurring dream. For others, it's understanding a pattern that keeps repeating in relationships, or sitting with a grief that hasn't found its shape yet. The throughline is individuation — Jung's term for becoming more fully who you actually are, rather than who circumstance or family or culture shaped you to be.

A Matter of the Heart

Depth psychotherapy is a matter of the heart as well as the mind. Deep relatedness and intellectual reflection are both part of this approach.

As a depth-oriented psychotherapist, I have tried to develop the art of genuine listening and empathic attunement. I have learned to participate in the narrative of another person's life because, somehow — probably through my own therapy — I know those places in myself.

Being an immigrant in the United States, I know the difficulty of being at home within oneself and in the world. I speak two languages, and I've had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds. I believe sensitivity toward the individual within their own cultural heritage is crucial — that the work has to make room for who you actually are, not who a single framework expects you to be.

How We Work

Sessions are held weekly, in person in Conifer or via telehealth across Colorado and New York. The frame is consistent; the content is yours to bring.

Individuation. The Jungian process of becoming who you actually are — distinct from who you were shaped to be — rather than a fixed self. This is the throughline beneath everything else here.
Dream work. Dreams are read as live communication from the psyche — not decoded against a fixed dictionary, but explored for what they're doing in your particular life right now.
Grief work. Trained in Prolonged Grief Therapy (Columbia) and grounded in a trauma-informed approach, with particular attention to losses that are complicated, ambiguous, or unwitnessed by others.
Couples work. Dialogue Therapy and Gottman Method tools, held within a depth frame — practical skill alongside the deeper patterns that drive conflict and distance.

"The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." This work begins from where you actually are, not from a protocol.

What Becomes Possible

Within a very unique relationship — one attuned to us and our emotions, and devoted to our soul's needs — we begin to speak our truth.

We learn to hold with compassion all the fragments of ourselves that got split off and never fully developed. We investigate the patterns that are keeping us stuck, that are keeping us from thriving. Sometimes this means developing better relationships. Other times, it means finding a way through chronic depression. Or perhaps the task is to find a deeper self-acceptance.

Fear, anger, confusion, anxiety — these are all symptoms of a life out of balance. Psychotherapy is a process of developing inner balance and empowerment through discovering the deeper truth of oneself.
