my integrative approach
My work is grounded in depth-oriented psychotherapy and shaped by several complementary traditions. Rather than applying a single model or set of techniques, I draw from approaches that support sustained, reflective work and attend to the complexity of inner life over time.
These influences include psychodynamic, depth-oriented psychology and the following orientations:
• Jungian-informed psychotherapy
• Transpersonal psychotherapies
• Internal Family Systems–informed psychotherapy
• Enneagram-informed work with personality adaptation and deeper identity
• Felt-sense and polyvagal-informed psychotherapy
• DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation and resilience
I am also trained in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy, which informs my capacity to engage religious, spiritual, or existential material when it is meaningful to the client.
These approaches inform the work but are always held in service of the therapeutic relationship, rather than applied mechanically.

In these cases, I am often happy to help with referrals when possible.
about spiritually integrated psychotherapy
Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy is one of the formal training frameworks that informs my work, particularly when clients wish to explore spiritual, religious, or existential themes within psychotherapy.
For some people, questions of meaning, values, faith, doubt, or spiritual change are central to their inner life. Others may not use spiritual or religious language at all. My role is not to introduce a particular worldview or interpret experience through a spiritual lens, but to meet clients where they are and honor the language, symbols, and frameworks that feel authentic to them.
When spiritual or religious material is meaningful to a client, it can be explored thoughtfully within the context of depth-oriented psychotherapy—alongside emotional patterns, relational dynamics, identity development, and psychological integration. Engagement with spiritual themes is always client-led and never required.
Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy does not replace depth psychotherapy; rather, it provides an additional lens for working respectfully and skillfully with experiences that clients already understand as spiritual or religious in nature.
Rates & Insurance for depth-oriented Psychotherapy
I aim to be transparent about fees and insurance so you can discern whether this work is a good fit for your needs and goals. I am currently in-network with the following insurance plans:
- CareOregon
- PacificSource
- Kaiser (Oregon)
Private Pay
I offer private pay sessions at a rate of $180 per session. I can provide superbills for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement. Some clients choose private pay in order to engage more freely in spiritually and existentially focused work, when relevant, that may not fit neatly within insurance requirements. Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis and documentation focused on medical necessity.
