Midlife therapy supports adults navigating life transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, grief, burnout, and questions of identity or purpose. It can help you process loss, rebuild self esteem, and reconnect with meaning during this stage of life.

You may benefit from therapy if you feel stuck, burned out, emotionally numb, disconnected from your partner, questioning your purpose, grieving a loss, or struggling with low self worth despite outward success.

Depth oriented therapy explores the underlying patterns, unconscious dynamics, and emotional history that shape your present experience. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, this approach supports long term transformation and integration.

In session we will:

• Invite a deeper level of curiosity, sensing, and reflection

• Begin to identify the unconscious forces running your life behind the scenes

• Bring the hidden parts of you into awareness through deep, respectful listening to your dreams, fantasies, compulsions, and felt sensations in the body

• Cultivate a shift in perspective rooted in wisdom

• Sit with uncertainty and witness the circular nature of transformation unfolding

This isn’t quick-fix therapy centered around symptom relief. Depth therapy is honest, collaborative, and experiential. Sometimes this means symptoms will shift around until you find a greater sense of relief in multiple domains of your life.

Depth psychology understands symptoms and rigid behavior as the psyche’s way of signaling that something important has been avoided, often unconsciously. The aim of depth work is to cultivate an ongoing dialogue between your conscious and unconscious selves to enhance your reflective capacity, help you make more informed decisions, and access a more integrated sense of Self.

Anyone ready to face their fear, anger, shame, loss, grief, remorse, and disappointment for the liberation, ease, peace, and spaciousness waiting for them on the other side.

Most people avoid the hard truths shaping their lives—not because they don’t care, but because real change requires loss, grief, and letting go. You, on the other hand, are ready for the sacred, messy work of transformation.

Yes. I specialize in high-performing professionals who are successful by every external measure — and privately running on empty. This work goes beyond coping strategies into the deeper psychological patterns driving burnout, disconnection, and the quiet sense that something essential is missing.

Yes. Many adults seek therapy during midlife because of chronic stress, professional burnout, or a loss of meaning in their work. Therapy can help clarify values, restore emotional vitality, and support healthier boundaries.

Yes. Career disappointments — being passed over for a promotion, a failed business deal, an unexpected transition — often expose something much more existential. For high performers, professional identity and self-worth are deeply entangled. Therapy helps you separate the setback from your sense of self, process the grief underneath it, and reconnect with what you actually want on the other side.

Yes. Masked depression is common among midlife professionals — outwardly productive and composed while internally numb, empty, or quietly despairing. Depth therapy addresses the underlying patterns driving this disconnect rather than managing symptoms on the surface.

Not exactly. Many adults seek grief counseling during midlife, especially after the death of a loved one, divorce, or other major losses. Midlife therapy may include grief work, but it also addresses identity changes, self worth, and existential concerns.

Yes. Therapy can help uncover the roots of self esteem struggles and support deeper identity integration.

Jungian depth psychology, developed by Carl Jung, explores the unconscious patterns, complexes, and unlived potential shaping your present experience. Central to this approach is the concept of individuation — the lifelong process of becoming more fully yourself. In midlife, this often means confronting the half-lived life: the creative, relational, and spiritual dimensions that were set aside in service of achievement. Depth therapy creates the conditions to reclaim them.

Yes. Everything shared in therapy is protected by strict confidentiality laws. Many executives and leaders seek therapy precisely because it is one of the few spaces where they can be fully honest without professional or reputational consequence.

Intra is a private pay practice and does not accept insurance — intentionally. Insurance requires a formal diagnosis that becomes part of your permanent medical record, limits the number of sessions covered, and dictates the type of treatment provided. By remaining outside that system, your care stays between us. Sessions are tailored to what you actually need, not what a third party will reimburse. For professional leaders who have spent their careers managing everyone else's needs, this level of privacy and clinical freedom means your care is finally about you.

Session costs can vary depending on the length and type of service. Please see the investment page for details.
