Somatic mindfulness is the practice of bringing awareness to the body and not just the mind. Being body oriented therapy in the here and now, somatic therapy helps to create new internal experiences to contradict the tension and overwhelm in the body and restore functioning.

When stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions build up, the body often carries what the mind can’t fully process. This can show up as tightness in the chest, knots in the stomach, or tension in the shoulders.

By gently turning attention to breath, internal sensations, and posture, somatic mindfulness helps reconnect body and mind. Over time, this practice increases emotional regulation, reduces stress, and deepens a sense of safety within yourself. It’s not about forcing the body to relax, but learning to listen to its signals with curiosity and care.

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess the impact of trauma.
🌟 EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

When a traumatic or overwhelming event happens, the brain doesn’t always fully process it. Instead, the memory can get “stuck,” showing up later as flashbacks, anxiety, or strong emotional reactions.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (often eye movements, sounds, or taps) to activate both sides of the brain while revisiting these memories in a safe and guided way. This allows the nervous system to finally process what was frozen in time, so the memory feels less raw and overwhelming.

EMDR helps people move forward with greater ease, resilience, and relief. If you’re curious about whether EMDR may be right for you or wanting to find out more, feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to share more.

The Way of the Depth Psychotherapist:

I vow to meet each person as a mystery, never as a problem to be solved.

I listen for what is being whispered, for what hides in dreams,
and what lies beneath their words.

I walk beside them into the dark, trusting the psyche’s own light to guide us.

I stay attuned and grounded in the face of uncertainty, honoring paradox, knowing that even the symptom carries meaning.

I guard the sanctity of the analytic space, tending to a sacred fire where the soul may speak without fear.

I keep my own soul alive, in dreams, in art, in shadow-work, so that I may greet the other not from the mountaintop, but from the shared ground of our humanity.

I remember that transformation unfolds in its own season, and that my aim is not to force the bud to bloom, but to offer it the warmth and shelter it needs to open.

And above all, I hold each person’s story with reverence, patience, and faith in the depths from which new life arises and becomes whole.

So much of what shapes our lives happens beneath the surface of awareness. Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology, reminds us that the patterns we avoid will quietly guide us until we shine light on them and find freedom in our own choices. Therapy is a space to make the unconscious conscious, so what once felt like fate can shift into a space of new possibilities.

Psychodynamic therapy is a depth-oriented approach that explores the deeper layers of your experiences, by seeing how the underlying dynamics shape your present. It looks beneath the surface, at unconscious patterns, early relationships, and old stories, to help deepen your insight of Self.

Instead of just managing symptoms, it invites you to uncover the roots of your struggles, by bringing what’s unconscious into awareness. It’s less about “fixing” and more about understanding yourself, so you can create lasting change, feel freer in your choices, and build more meaningful connections to not just yourself but to others as well.

If you're feeling stuck or lost in repeating patterns, struggling with self-esteem and relationships, or wanting a deeper sense of meaning and self-understanding, psychodynamic therapy can be helpful to explore those depths with curiosity and care. Think of it as a journey inward, toward uncovering the story beneath the story, so you can create lasting change from within.

Wondering if therapy could be a good fit? Feel free to reach out and let's connect for a complimentary 15 minute consultation to answer any questions.

Hi there. I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself. I'm Andrew, an integrative psychodynamic therapist, supporting individuals and families through life’s complexities. Whether you are moving through trauma, feeling stuck in your career or relationships, or wanting to reconnect with your inner Self, you are not alone. In therapy, we gently explore the roots of what's weighing you down while building the resources and resiliency to heal, grow, and revision who you are.

I integrate depth psychology and psychodynamic traditions, along with somatic mindfulness, EMDR, expressive arts, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and trauma-informed care, honoring both the mind and body as pathways to healing. I offer an empathic space for clients to explore the deeper layers of their psyche and experiences to support indviduation.

If you are ready to start the journey, I am here. Serving California via telehealth and in-person sessions in Santa Clarita, Ca. For more info, please visit my website link in bio.

Twenty years after undergrad, I receive my master's in counseling psychology with an emphasis on depth psychology. What a journey it has been in becoming what the soul seeks and in going through such a transformational process with an incredible group of now colleagues and lifelong friends. So much gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the way. Cheers to writing the next chapters. 🙏💛

What initially started out as major resistance to writing my thesis, the journey turned out to be an immensely rewarding alchemical process in the art of inquiry. As the student, I continue to be deeply humbled by the mysteries of the unconscious, the unknown. In my continued association with the unknown during this six month process, the emergence of becoming a depth psychotherapist helped analyze and synthesize my individuation, leading to the birth of this thesis. 🌱

Exploring my personal experiences with ayahuasca alongside scholarly perspectives, my aim was to add to the growing body of research and literature on the relationships between psychedelics, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, individuation, development in midlife adulthood, rites of passage, numinous experiences, and the transformational death-rebirth cycle. I look forward to furthering the research in the mental health field around how psychedelic experiences with depth-oriented psychotherapy can be utilized as a developmental rite of passage to answer my research question: "How might psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy support the individuation process during midlife adulthood?" 🌟

Much gratitude for the journey, and and thank you to the curious individuals interested in reading more about the transformational potential of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Link in bio. 🙏💛

The last couple years have felt like a hibernation away from everything to get through grad school and deepen Self. As the seasons change, having the chance to see the fall foliage here in Virigina was a needed symbol for psyche, as I prepare for one last hibernation this winter, going deep into thesis writing to complete a 2.5 year journey. As spring returns in March and I graduate, I will emerge as a depth psychotherapist.

Like a snake shedding it's skin, another 7 year cycle comes to an end turning 42 next April. A feeling of regeneration, continuing to deepen the ways of service in the helping professions. Coming into this cycle as a reiki and kambo practitioner utilizing energy and sacred medicine, I complete this cycle with the honor of helping others tend to their soul and unconscious through healing dialogue. Looking forward to the next cycle as I cross this threshold. Much gratitude for my fiance and best friend for her unconditional support and loving presence. .in.flow 🙏💛🌟

Grateful to have landed at a new MFT trainee site, a substance use treatment center, where I'll be a part of their ketamine assisted psychotherapy program. A big reason in wanting to become a licensed therapist was the opportunity to utilize psychedelics through a psychotherapy lens to treat mental health and help the individuation process. In addition I'll be training with for KAP this year, which I'm looking forward to.
🌟
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy has shown promise and efficacy in treating treatment-resistant depression, ptsd, and substance use. The potential for psychedelic assisted psychotherapy is a promising new field, and I'm thrilled for the opportunity. 🙏🌟💛

Blessings on blessings on blessings on blessings to all the amazing people in the world, especially to those that are struggling feeling the tension ready to individuate. Much love and gratitude as we pray for a better future, happy new year. 🙏💛
