Having been on this journey for many years, I have seen firsthand the emotional rollercoasters that anxiety, trauma, and addictions can induce.
My ideal client grapples with anxiety, trauma, or addictions. They span across all age groups, from adolescents to the elderly. At the core of their struggle is a fervent desire for serenity and self-acceptance. Their ultimate goal isn't just to find relief but to also embrace transformative change. They're actively seeking not just a momentary reprieve but a sustained peace, and with the right guidance, they aspire to cultivate a life of calm and understanding.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an advanced treatment for mental distress caused by maladaptive patterns of thoughts and behaviors. KAP is a relational experience. A psychotherapist will guide and support you, and integrate the healing that occurs during the expansiveness of the ketamine experience. This treatment has shown significant improvement in those with mood disorders and PTSD symptoms. Additionally, I was a lead facilitator in two clinical trials using psychedelic medicine and completed a psychedelic assisted therapy training with a focus on end of life care.

I am trained in EMDR and other trauma modalities to provide you with effective tools and resources towards your healing journey.
It can be overwhelmingly scary to know where to begin in your healing journey. Wounds can build upon one another until it all feels like a tangled mess. Childhood and family wounds can dictate the lens in which you see the world. Looking through that lens can be complex and difficult to navigate alone. Whether the symptoms you are experiencing are affecting your current circumstances, creating self-worth issues or relationship difficulties, I love to meet you where you are at, and help you develop goals that lead to a fulfilling life.

The primary areas of focus include trauma, life transitions, pregnancy/post partum, & relationship stress.
Life is a journey, a journey that is most difficult when traveled alone. I strive to walk with clients on their path towards healing and happiness. Working from a client-centered approach, it is essential for me to understand each client as an individual to develop trust and a partnership in therapy. Relationships, trauma, careers and other stressors take a toll on a person's ability to flourish. I believe that each person has potential for growth from those experiences. My goal is to help you regain your footing on your path to living a full and vibrant life.

Life is unpredictable, it's messy. Life is about learning and growing, and with the right skills we can learn to tackle those big obstacles that are thrown our way. It's important for to have someone to lean on, talk to, walk alongside us as we grow through personal struggles, and that is how I view the therapeutic relationship. Primarily, I work with clients 18+ who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, personality disorders, and overall life stressors.

I'm trained in "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing" (EMDR--for trauma, anxiety, among other issues).
I provide psychological assessment and psychotherapy services. Though I understand the value of "diagnosing" a person's particular problem, I'm definitely against labeling a person as such. A person's difficulties--you name it: anxiety, trauma, depression--is what it means in part to be human. Everyone has some type of challenge, to various degrees (and certainly, some more than others). What a client requires, in many cases, is adequate resolution about negative things that has happened to him or her in life. Also, clients often need new skills in dealing with life's current and future expected challenges.
