Private Depth Work For People in Periods of Transformation
"Rachel works at a depth I haven’t encountered before. She doesn't rush to solutions or techniques. Instead, she helped me see the patterns shaping my life…often ones I didn't realize were there."
M.J, Executive Director
WHAT THIS WORK ADDRESSES
This work is for people navigating change.
Many people arrive at a point where they can feel that something in their life is no longer working, even if they cannot fully explain why.
The work offers a space to slow down enough to listen more carefully to what is changing, what is unresolved, and what may need a different kind of attention.
The aim is not simply symptom relief, but lasting structural change.
Depth work typically unfolds in phases.
Depth work unfolds in phases. It does not follow a fixed timeline. It cannot be rushed.
What has been experienced reorganizes over time.
Not through force.
Not through premature resolution.
There are moments the work can move.
And moments where it cannot.
The work here is to recognize the difference.
And stay with what is actually unfolding.
This not about optimization.
It is not about performance strategies.
It is structural change.
What we do to survive is often intelligent. The question is whether it still belongs to the life we are trying to live now.
STAGE 01
Coping
Most people learn to cope. It helps us survive..
WHAT DEPTH INTEGRATION MEANS
STAGE 02
Stabilization
Many learn to stabilize. Stability creates safety. Some learn to function well while still carrying things that have never fully settled.
STAGE 03 - This Work Begins Here
Depth Integration
Allowing what has happened to become part of a life in a way that no longer organizes it.
Depth Integration begins when a person is ready to work at the level where life has been organized.
You may already understand what happened.
You may have spent years reflecting, healing, or trying to move forward.
And still — certain patterns continue shaping your life.
At this stage, the focus changes.
The focus shifts from coping with life to understanding what has been organizing it.
How experiences from the past continue influencing relationships, work, emotional life, and the ways a person relates to themselves and others.
This work begins there.
When the timing is right, the next step is a conversation.
HOW THE WORK BEGINS
All work begins with a consultation.
Consultations are 60 minutes. We will discuss where you are now, what has shaped you, and where your life may be moving.
The purpose is not intake. It is to determine whether this work is appropriate, and whether I am the right person to hold it. If we both sense alignment, we will discuss what the work might look like. If not, I will say so.
If you are in acute crisis or seeking short-term intervention, a different form of support may be more appropriate. I can help point you in the right direction.
During the consultation, we will explore where you are now, what feels unresolved, what is changing, and what you are building toward.
THIS WORK IS BEST SUITED FOR THOSE WHO:
• Have already done meaningful personal or therapeutic work
• Are stable enough for depth-oriented exploration
• Are ready for structural change rather than incremental adjustment
• Can commit to continuity
• Are willing to stay with material as it unfolds, rather than move toward resolution prematurely
THE WORK
Ways the work may unfold.
After a consultation, if there is alignment, the work takes various forms — occasionally all of these, depending on what you are navigating.
Depth Integration
Session
Sessions are 90 minutes, held in person or remotely.
The work begins weekly. For most people, the first six months build safety and trust, establish context, and allow the material to surface at its own pace. At six months, we review together. Some continue weekly. Others move to biweekly. The cadence follows the work.
There is no fixed protocol. Sessions are structured around what is present — not a program to move through. What remains consistent is the depth of attention and the continuity of the work over time.
Body-based Sessions
Body-based work for experiences that do not resolve through conversation alone.
These sessions draw on somatic mapping, nervous system awareness, touch, and body-based processing to work with material held below the level of language.
Sessions are 90 minutes and held in person. Some clients integrate body-based sessions alongside depth integration. Others work through the body as their primary entry point.
This form of the work is particularly useful for people who have done extensive talk-based work, live primarily in the mind, or know that something important is held physically as much as psychologically.
Immersion
Sessions
Extended, in-person formats for times when more space, continuity, and concentrated attention are needed.
Immersion work is structured individually and held in private settings. It is designed for periods when weekly sessions are not the right container for what is happening.
This may include major life change, grief, illness, relational endings, or other processes that benefit from uninterrupted time and sustained depth.
Immersion work is offered selectively and shaped case by case.
Psychedelic Preparation, Facilitation, or Integration
Psychedelic experiences can bring forward meaningful psychological and emotional material. Approached carefully, they can open territory that other work has not reached. Approached without preparation or integration, that material can remain unprocessed or become a source of further complexity.
This work supports all three phases: preparation before an experience, facilitation within Oregon's regulated psilocybin services, and integration of what emerges afterward.
ABOUT RACHEL
For almost three decades, I have worked across wellness, health, beauty, ritual practice, and depth-oriented care — designing programs, supporting practitioners, and working with people through experiences that cannot be resolved through insight alone.
Many of the people who arrive here have already spent years in reflection, healing, caregiving, professional work, or personal transformation. And still, something in their lives continues repeating, constricting, or asking for deeper attention.
My work draws from somatic practice, contemplative traditions, symbolic and expressive forms of inquiry, and nature-based ways of understanding human experience.
I hold a B.A. in Transformative Education and Leadership and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling focused on trauma and human development. I am also completing a Ph.D. in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology, where my research explores psychedelic work and complex trauma.
-
Depth Integration is not psychotherapy and it is not conventional coaching.
The work draws from multiple disciplines — trauma-informed practice, depth psychology, relational work, and integration frameworks — but it is not treatment for a mental health diagnosis.
The focus is structural integration: helping significant experiences become part of a person’s life in a way that supports clarity, stability, and forward movement.
-
Most people who reach out have already done meaningful personal or therapeutic work.
They have insight into their history and patterns.
What brings them here is the recognition that something deeper remains unresolved despite insight and effort.
They are generally stable in their lives, able to reflect on their own experience, and willing to stay with material as it unfolds rather than looking for quick solutions.
Many are integrating significant experiences or long-standing relational patterns. Others carry complex responsibility in their professional or personal lives.
People who find this work include veterans, leaders, clinicians, therapists, psychiatrists, facilitators, and others who spend their lives holding complexity for others.
The consultation allows us to explore whether depth integration work would be useful for you.
-
Most people begin with one year, and we review ongoing work from there.
Many people work with me for years, not months.
The length of our working relationship and frequency of meetings depends on the individual’s needs and other personal factors.
During our consultation, we take our time to consider all of your needs in order to make the best decision.
-
Psychedelic work is addressed through a consultation. If you are seeking a session in Oregon, there is a very specific process.
preparation, facilitation, and integration are available
services follow Oregon Psilocybin Services regulations
this is separate from general integration work
Session work outside of Oregon or the U.S. can be addressed in our consultation.
-
This practice is not designed for acute crisis intervention.
If you are currently experiencing a mental health emergency or require immediate support, please consult a licensed mental health or medical professional.
-
Yes. Many people in this work are leaders, practitioners, or others who hold significant responsibility. The decisions you make affect other people — and that weight has its own interior cost. This work takes that seriously.
-
The consultation is designed in part to assess fit.
If depth integration work does not seem appropriate for your situation, I will say so directly. In some cases, another form of support may be more useful, and I will do my best to point you in the right direction.
Not every kind of work is right for every situation, and clarity at the beginning is important. The consultation is a genuine conversation — not a sales process.
