Depth-Oriented Individual Therapy
Jungian-informed Individual therapy
Life and relationships can be complicated, and sometimes feel even deeply painful. You may have tried so hard to make things better, only to find yourself up against the same wall. Perhaps you feel swept up by emotions, weighed down by depression, or so stuck that you are losing hope in yourself or others. You may understand yourself well and still feel caught in familiar patterns, disconnected from your needs, or unsure why a life that looks settled feels incomplete. We can begin with what feels most pressing, working toward relief while making room for deeper understanding.
“I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum.”
— C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
We can long for closeness and fear it, or feel grateful for our lives while wanting something to change. I see these tensions as part of being human. Giving both sides room can deepen our understanding of ourselves and help new possibilities emerge.
Our Work Together
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. ” — Carl Jung
I’m Shu Jin, a Licensed Psychotherapist and an EMDR certified Therapist. My work is relational and Jungian-informed.
Our memories, feelings, and associated thoughts can gather around an emotionally charged theme. Jung called these patterns complexes. Some are familiar, others work outside our awareness and can seem to have a life of their own. We may also be affected by collective memories, feelings, and beliefs, under the influence of cultural or collective complex.
Together, we explore parts of your experience that have been pushed aside or remain difficult to understand. We begin with everyday events and recurring situations, noticing how familiar patterns take shape in your relationships and choices.
The relationship we build is also part of the work. In a compassionate, nonjudgmental space, we pay attention to expectations, closeness, distance, and misunderstandings as they arise between us. I reflect on my own responses, too, as part of understanding what is unfolding.
My aim is to help you know more of yourself, recognize patterns that influence you outside your awareness, and find greater freedom in how you respond. Over time, this work may bring change to longstanding ways of experiencing yourself and relating to others.
As a Chinese immigrant and a mother of two, I know the joy and challenges of making a home here while missing people and places far away. I welcome questions of culture, identity, and belonging, including the experiences we may share and the ways your story may differ from mine.

Good Faith Estimates
