Counseling Aspen PLLC

Depth oriented psychotherapy for individuals seeking profound psychological change. At Counseling Aspen PLLC, my work is rooted in Jungian depth psychology—the understanding that the psyche is shaped not only by conscious experience but also by the vast, symbolic world of the unconscious. As the sole practitioner, I bring a steady, attuned presence to this work, helping you explore the deeper layers of your inner life so you can heal emotional wounds, reclaim disowned parts of yourself, and move toward a more authentic and meaningful way of being. Since 2018, I have served Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley with compassionate, evidence informed mental health care for individuals seeking clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of inner wholeness. Trauma, while deeply painful, can also act as a powerful catalyst. It cracks open familiar structures of the personality and exposes the deeper Self that longs to be seen, healed, and integrated. My role is to help you navigate this opening with care, clarity, and clinical expertise—honoring both the vulnerability and the transformative potential of the process. What Is Depth Psychology? Depth psychology explores the unconscious patterns, emotional imprints, archetypal themes, symbolic expressions, and internal conflicts that shape your daily life. Rooted in Jungian and contemporary analytic traditions, this approach views psychological symptoms not as failures or flaws but as meaningful communications from the psyche—signals pointing toward hidden wounds that are asking to be tended to and healed. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, despair, or hopelessness often arise from what has been forgotten, suppressed, or left unmet. They draw attention to what requires care. A common approach in modern mental health is to “wrap the wound” again and again—reducing sensitivity without addressing the underlying injury. Depth psychology takes a different path. It gently and courageously follows the symptom toward the core wound. Together, we slowly and safely unwrap the protective layers that once served you but may now be restricting your growth. In this space, the wound can be understood, cleaned, and healed—allowing for lasting transformation rather than temporary relief. Depth psychotherapy supports you in: • Understanding long standing emotional and relational patterns • Healing unresolved wounds and early imprints • Reducing anxiety and depression by addressing their deeper origins • Strengthening identity, purpose, and self awareness • Building healthier, more conscious relationships • Living with greater authenticity, vitality, and ease Jungian based depth psychology emphasizes the transformative potential that emerges when unconscious material becomes conscious. Dreams, symbols, emotional reactions, and relational dynamics become gateways to the deeper Self—the inner organizing center that guides psychological growth and wholeness. A Personalized, Integrative Approach to Therapy: While Jungian depth psychology forms the foundation of my work, I integrate a range of evidence based therapeutic modalities to support both immediate relief and long term transformation. Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may include: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Attachment based therapy • Family Systems Therapy • Narrative Therapy • Trauma informed therapy • Behavioral and relational approaches This integrative model allows us to address the symptoms causing the most distress while also engaging the deeper symbolic and emotional layers that shape your inner world.
