Depth Psychotherapy for Soul Recovery

Do you feel lost, empty, or disconnected from your true self?

As a licensed therapist based in Oakland, California, I offer Jungian depth psychotherapy and psycho-spiritual counseling to support profound inner transformation. Rooted in Carl Jung’s understanding of the psyche, this approach helps uncover and reintegrate lost parts of the soul, bringing meaning and wholeness back into your life.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, reconnecting with the eternal, symbolic, and archetypal dimensions of the psyche can be deeply healing. Children naturally experience a sense of unity, wonder, and connection to something greater. Yet, as we navigate life’s hardships—grief, trauma, existential crises, or even a sudden health diagnosis—we often lose touch with this innate wholeness. Such experiences can trigger existential distress, death anxiety, and soul loss, leading to feelings of isolation, despair, or meaninglessness.

In Jungian psychology, soul loss is understood as a fragmentation of the psyche, often resulting from trauma, shame, or prolonged suffering. In response, we unconsciously exile parts of ourselves into the shadow—the hidden realm of unacknowledged emotions, desires, and wounds. Over time, this disconnection may manifest as chronic emptiness, spiritual confusion, or a sense of drifting through life without purpose.

Through psycho-spiritual depth therapy, we explore how and why you became disconnected from your deepest self. By working with symbols, dreams, active imagination, and the unconscious, you can reclaim your lost soul parts, confront fear with courage, and experience the profound healing that comes from truly knowing and loving yourself.

If you feel spiritually adrift, lost, or yearn to reconnect with your sacred inner self, I am here to guide you on your journey back to wholeness.

Psychotherapy for Spiritual Seekers in California

Jungian Depth Work for Mystics, Healers, Meditators, and Psychedelic Explorers

Many people encounter spontaneous spiritual experiences—visions, synchronicities, or deep intuitions—at some point in life. Perhaps as a child, you sensed hidden dimensions of reality or carried intuitive gifts. Later, meditation, yoga, a profound life event, a near-death experience, or psychedelic exploration may have catalyzed a powerful awakening. These encounters with the unconscious can be ecstatic, disorienting, isolating, or difficult to articulate. Mainstream psychology often pathologizes such experiences, leaving seekers without the support needed for transformation.

Spiritual Emergency or Individuation Crisis?

What may seem like a crisis could be an initiation into a deeper dimension of selfhood. Jung described the psyche’s drive toward wholeness as individuation—a process that often includes encounters with the shadow, archetypal energies, and transpersonal realities. A spiritual emergency is not a breakdown but an emergence of the Self. You may have experienced:

• Sudden, intuitive insights

• A compulsion to transform your life

• Deep feelings of unity with the universe

• A sense of “waking up” to hidden truths

While such awakenings can feel like disintegration, they may actually be breakthroughs into a greater, more authentic self. If you have undergone an experience that defies conventional explanation and seek guidance in making meaning of it, depth psychotherapy can help you integrate and navigate this profound transition.

Reach out to begin your journey of inner work and integration.

*Unfortunately I am unable to provide an appropriate level of care for folks in the acute stages of crisis during a spiritual emergency. Medical interventions or hospitalization may be necessary in those cases to reach stabilization. Once there has been an extended period of stability and functioning (I suggest at least 6 months), I can then offer to assist with further processing and integration after a spiritual emergence experience.

Recover From Spiritual Trauma

If you grew up or spent time in a religious or spiritual environment that taught you to fear God, hate yourself, mistrust your own inner wisdom, silence yourself, or instilled a deep sense of shame, you’re not alone. This is a form of widespread emotional and psychological abuse. You might be suffering from complex trauma or a soul wound. I can help you re-claim your soul, reconnect with your truth, learn to love yourself, and cultivate your own unique relationship to a higher power.

Perhaps the worst aspect of spiritual and religious trauma is feeling like you’re bad, wrong, or cannot trust your own body or feelings. I will never tell you what to believe in - unless it’s yourself.
