The Deep Dive

Clinical Consultation with Clarity, Depth, and Meaning.

Sometimes what's really going on doesn’t show up in the notes or the treatment plan. That’s where I come in.

 

After 20 years of practicing depth psychotherapy, I offer something rare: consultation that blends psychodynamic, Jungian, existential, and narrative traditions with a systems-based lens rooted in clinical social work. I don’t just help you think more deeply about your cases—I help you see more clearly.

 

I can help you:

  • Understand what a symptom might be trying to say—whether it's anxiety, shutdown, chronic pain, or relational chaos

  • Work with transference, enactment, and emotional undercurrents in the room

  • Identify unconscious themes, stuck patterns, and symbolic dynamics

  • Use your own nervous system as clinical data

  • Confront honestly without rupturing rapport

  • Situate the client within larger systems: family, power, culture, role, and story

 

Whether you're a therapist, psychiatric provider, or clinical supervisor, The Deep Dive is a place to pause, look again, and practice with more confidence, perception, and purpose.

This isn’t supervision to check a box. It’s not cookie-cutter case feedback. It’s a real conversation—from one clinician to another.

The Depth We're After

What is The Deep Dive?

This is depth-informed clinical consultation—not supervision to check a box, and not just a peer sounding board. It’s a place to pause, zoom out, and look at what’s really happening—psychodynamically, symbolically, systemically, and somatically.

You bring the case: a stuck point, a puzzling symptom, a complex relationship dynamic.
I bring 20 years of trained perception, pattern recognition, and integrative frameworks drawn from psychodynamic, Jungian, narrative, existential, and systems-based traditions.

Together, we’ll surface what’s beneath the surface—so you can move forward with more clarity, precision, and presence in your work.

The Deep Dive: Where Insight Meets Instinct

I’ve spent over 20 years practicing depth-oriented psychotherapy—working at the intersection of psychodynamic insight, Jungian symbolism, narrative meaning-making, existential inquiry, and systems-level awareness. I don’t just track symptoms—I listen for what’s unspoken, unresolved, or symbolically trying to emerge. As a clinical social worker, I situate each client within their broader context—family, culture, identity, role, and power—so the work can be both deeper and more accurate.

If you’re a clinician who values depth but sometimes feels stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by what’s unfolding in the room, I can help. I don’t offer prefab solutions or protocol-driven feedback. I help you see what’s already there, more clearly—connecting symptom with story, behavior with meaning, and stuckness with invitation. I name the patterns, track the tensions, and help you hold clinical complexity with confidence.

Consulting with me isn’t just about case support—it’s professional development. You’ll grow your clinical voice, sharpen your instincts, and deepen your capacity to hold others with clarity and care.

Say Hello. Let’s Start from Here.

If something here speaks to you, go ahead and reach out. Whether you’re looking for support, insight, guidance, or a place to land during a life transition, I’d love to hear from you.

All of my work starts the same way: a real conversation. Let me know what’s bringing you here, and we’ll figure out the right next step—together.
