All of us experience difficulties in our lives, but it can be hard to face them alone. I am an active and engaged therapist and together we will get to know you well, approaching this task with interest and curiosity, and without judgment. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, unfocused or dissatisfied, this exploration will support you in bringing out your most adaptive capacities.

Most psychological problems emerge when we live life on auto-pilot, relying on learning from the past. I am now exploring the healing potential of Ketamine used in conjunction with integrative psychotherapy. I can collaborate with you and your current therapist as the medicine eases depression and allows your inner healing wisdom to guide us to new insight.

I will help you address your hopes and concerns in a constructive, caring way, drawing on 30 years' experience as a psychotherapist. We will identify and nurture your strengths so you can develop new, more adaptive ways to face your life directly and live fully.

While the research on Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy has focused primarily on treating depressive symptoms, it has also been shown to be helpful with anxiety and other conditions where fear or rigidity are limiting one's ability to engage fully with their lives and relationships. Ketamine appears to open up space around these challenges and increases one's mental flexibility and resourcefulness.

I am now offering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as my primary intervention. This includes an assessment of presenting issues, preparation for the medicine sessions, in-office experiences with ketamine, and follow-up integration sessions to make optimal use of those experiences. The treatment plan is developed in collaboration with the client to meet each person's specific needs and goals.
