You’re going through life with anxiety, depression, and difficulty connecting with others. Of course! You’ve become an adult without proper guidance on how to manage your fears, cultivate resilience, and connect with others. Together, we can change that. Using both traditional and psychedelic therapy, my purpose is to be that guide. With ketamine assisted psychotherapy, you can finally have that transformative experience you’re really looking for. Not just to control your anxiety but to grow and become who you want to be. To go from surviving to thriving.

My approach to therapy focuses on building the therapeutic relationship and supporting each client with an individualized treatment plan to support their needs. I am a trauma-focused therapist and believe presenting problems that bring people to therapy are rooted in earlier experiences. Brainspotting is a gentle yet effective neurobiological approach to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD, attachment wounds, etc.

Trauma is something we all have in common. That statement will either completely resonate with you, or you’ll think it’s ridiculous with the belief, “well, I’ve never experienced trauma”. I would challenge the latter with your definition of trauma. There are what we call "big T" traumas, which are the catastrophic happenings in life. And "little t" traumas, which are the less significant but still impactful happenings; things like not getting the promotion you've been working towards, family tension, financial stressors, or even indirect exposure to something disturbing.

I use compassion and acceptance to provide a safe place for clients to process issues important to them; meeting clients where they are emotionally and spiritually so that I can accompany them on their current journey in life. I provide a structured environment and interactive therapy session which focuses on the client's agenda. As a therapist, I draw from different therapeutic approaches appropriate to the situation including EMDR for trauma. When working with individuals, I feel it is important to look at their personal story, thought patterns, and behavioral strengths - as well as their relationships with others.
