What's My Approach to Therapy?
One thing I've learned in 27 years as a therapist is that people are very different from each other. I strive to listen intently. My training as a depth psychotherapist enables me to pick up on patterns, subtleties, cues from the the unconscious mind of my client, and emotional information that can propel breakthroughs. I'm also adept at Jungian dreamwork, a process of collaborating with a client to uncover meaning from nighttime dreams. This can enable you to map your unconscious complexes and change the infrastructure of your psychology. This process takes time and commitment. It can produce big change in your self-concept and outlook.
Research has shown that depth psychotherapy is effective compared to other methods, but also promotes development of personal strength, resilience, capacity for relationship, and the ability to utilize talents (please see: dreamtherapyminneapolis.comdepth-psychology).
. Additionally, this approach minimizes cultural biases and prejudice against individual uniqueness, because the change process is propelled by your own unconsious mind.
My Practice & Services
Deep change can include journeying through symptoms, rather than assailing them as an enemy. Often, a symptom brings a message about an imbalance in your psychology that can be addressed. A symptom may signal that energy is stuck in your unconscious mind because you don't yet understand the growth that wants to happen. Gaining insight about it and taking action can bring much relief, both in terms of the symptom, and also in knowing that this type of problem can ultimately bring positive results. People I’ve worked with have been astonished at how much they changed, and how this caused them to experience life from their depths.
Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
In Jungian psychotherapy, a symptom like anxiety is sometimes the start of an individuation process. Individuation is an unfolding of personal potential. Having a symptom is a lucky pain-in-the-neck that initiates a meaningful evolution.
