My work is centered around empowering womxn and gender diverse folx, especially those who have experienced interpersonal or cultural trauma. I have special interest and training in working with those interested in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and psychedelic integration work, working with the adolescent/young adult population, those who have experienced religious trauma, and survivors of narcissistic abuse. I help others develop more secure relationships with themselves and those around them, and work with your inner critic to unburden the parts of self that have developed as a response to trauma.
I offer psychotherapy for healing from developmental trauma and attachment wounding from a holistic and relational lens, using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness-based and somatic approaches. I am a certified Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist and have training in psychedelic integration & harm reduction, as well as Dialectical-Behavior Therapy.
I understand how difficult it can be to be open and vulnerable with your heart when your experiences and emotions have not been responded to adequately. If you are struggling with feelings resulting from attachment wounding or relational anxiety, or want to find out more, please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me.
