Embodied Archetypal Depth Therapy
Life is full of thresholds that ask us to pause, reflect, and grow—transformative moments that invite you to embrace the facets of who you are and who you’re becoming.
Some of these thresholds arise naturally with life’s rhythms, like the phases of motherhood or the renewal that midlife brings. These moments offer opportunities for new facets of yourself to emerge, enriching your sense of wholeness.
Other thresholds stir from within, as unrealized facets of yourself awaken and call for integration—like a therapist reimagining her practice to align with greater authenticity.
When we experience inner turmoil—such as feeling depressed, anxious, or angry—it is often tied to ‘exiled’ parts of ourselves yearning to be seen and ‘protective’ parts resisting change. Depth Therapy provides a deeply skillful approach to integrate these facets of self, fostering inner harmony and clarity.
Hi, I’m Tammy
I’m passionate about helping people explore the many facets of self—inner parts, archetypes, and layers that shape who we are. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW with 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting clients through pivotal moments of growth and transformation.
Most of my clients are women—therapists, mothers, and those in midlife—but I love working with anyone who is passionate about this approach.
Whether you’re navigating life’s transitions or drawn to exploring the depths of your multifaceted self, I offer a space where all parts of you are welcome.
-
becoming aligned with their authentic practice.
-
becoming whole, balancing caregiving with their evolving identity.
-
becoming renewed and empowered.
-
experiencing a pivotal moment of becoming and passionate about embracing deeper facets of self.
A Down-to-Earth Integrative Approach
My approach combines Depth Psychology frameworks—including the Enneagram, Jungian psychology, psychodynamic theory, and Internal Family Systems IFS—with embodiment practices such as Somatic Experiencing SE, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing EMDR, Rhythmic or Bilateral Sensory Stimulation RSS/BSS, and Embodied Sound Hypnosis.
By integrating these modalities, I help clients reconnect with their natural rhythms and access deeper layers of healing and self-awareness, cultivating balance and resilience at somatic and psychological levels.
My clients often describe me as warm, accepting, and down-to-earth. As someone who’s navigated many transitions myself, I understand the vulnerability and challenges that come with growth and change.
What Inspires and Grounds My Work
What is Embodied Archetypal Depth Therapy?
All of my work falls under the umbrella of Depth Therapy, an approach that delves beneath the surface to uncover the patterns, archetypes, and stories shaping your life and relationships. Rooted in my PhD studies in psychodynamic psychotherapy, a level of depth weaves through all the modalities I integrate. This work centers on two interconnected areas: Embodiment and Archetypal Therapy.
Embodiment: Restoring the Body’s Natural Rhythm
Somatic work recognizes that the body holds past experiences, shaping patterns of tension and rhythm—how we experience ourselves and relate to the world. These imprints influence our personality, behaviors, and inner dynamics, often disrupting the body’s natural flow.
By attuning to the body’s sensations and restoring its rhythms, we can uncover areas of stuckness and invite healing. This process realigns the nervous system, creating space for growth beyond old patterns and reconnecting with the body’s innate balance.
My approach integrates somatic awareness with archetypal wisdom, such as the Enneagram, exploring how personality archetypes are held as structures and expressions in the body. Through this lens, we also uncover how the essence of universal archetypes serves as rhythms of healing and transformation.
Archetypal: Embracing the Facets of Yourself
Archetypes are universal patterns that shape how you understand yourself and relate to the world. They influence your thoughts, emotions, and even the rhythms of your body’s nervous system. These archetypes embody the many facets of self—the familiar parts you know well and the hidden ones waiting to be discovered. They also mirror the life phases you navigate and the transformations unfolding around you.
These patterns profoundly affect your felt sense of love, safety, power, and ease, weaving through your mental, emotional, and physical experiences. By exploring archetypes, we can uncover how they influence your inner and outer world, helping you integrate these facets and move toward greater authenticity, balance, and wholeness.
