DEPTH INTEGRATION
Long-arc work for people who have already done meaningful work and know something deeper remains unchanged.
"Rachel works at a depth I haven’t encountered before. She doesn't rush to solutions or techniques. Instead, she helps you see the patterns shaping your life…often ones you didn't realize were there."
M., Executive Director
Most people who arrive here have already done a great deal of work.
Nothing is necessarily “wrong.” But something hasn’t changed.
The same patterns continue.
The same dynamics reappear.
The same structures hold.
What brings people here is rarely one event.
It’s something layered, persistent, and still active.
The aim is not simply symptom relief, but lasting structural change.
WHAT DEPTH INTEGRATION MEANS
There is a phase
beyond coping.
STAGE 01
Coping
Most people learn to cope. Coping is intelligent. It keeps us alive.
STAGE 02
Stabilization
Many learn to stabilize. Stability creates safety. Some learn to function well despite what remains unresolved.
STAGE 03 - This Work Begins Here
Integration
Allowing what has happened to become part of a life in a way that no longer organizes it.
Depth Integration is not a method. It is a phase of work.
You can understand what happened.
You can stay present with your experience.
You are no longer in acute survival.
And still — your life organizes around the same patterns.
At this stage, the focus changes.
Not on managing symptoms.
But on working at the level where those patterns are produced.
How a life is structured — relationally, professionally, systemically — around what happened, and what it takes for that structure to reorganize.
This work begins there.
"Working with Rachel was like someone walking beside you. It's honest, sometimes confronting, and incredibly clarifying."
J., Veteran
"I came to Rachel during a destabilizing transition in my life. What stood out was her steadiness. She has a rare ability to stay with my complexity without reducing it to advice."
A., Physician
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.
"If you're looking for quick answers, Rachel may not be the right fit. If you're looking for depth, honesty, she is exceptional."
H, Retired Psychiatrist
WHY THE WORK UNFOLDS OVER TIME
Structural change
cannot be rushed.
When long-standing adaptations begin to shift, continuity matters. The nervous system takes time to reorganize into a new structure — rather than perform understanding.
Depth-oriented work unfolds over time.
Sometimes this means months.
Often a year.
Sometimes longer.
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
Two ways the work
may unfold.
After a consultation, if there is alignment, the work takes one of two primary forms — occasionally both, 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.
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.
Available in Oregon. Integration work is available in some cases internationally.
ABOUT RACHEL
For almost three decades, I have worked across wellness, health, beauty, ritual practice, and emerging therapeutic fields — designing programs, leading in regulated environments, and supporting people through experiences that do not resolve through insight alone.
Many of the people who arrive here have already done substantial work. They are often practitioners, leaders, or people carrying significant responsibility. They are capable, functioning, and deeply aware — and they know something more structural remains unchanged.
This work begins there.
My approach draws from somatic and nervous system-based practice, contemplative traditions, expressive and symbolic modalities, and nature-based frameworks. I hold a B.A. in Transformative Education and Leadership and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus on trauma-informed and responsive practice. I am also completing a Ph.D. in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology, where my research examines psilocybin-assisted work with 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.
