Welcome! Are you curious about Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy? Have you tried traditional talk therapy with less than stellar results? Are you dealing with anxiety and/or depression that does not seem to improve no matter what you try? If you answered yes, to any of the above, I can help. Traditional talk therapy can be great but for many of us, it is not enough. In my work, I utilize Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) which is a psychedelic medicine which changes the brain chemistry by creating nueroplastity and allows for new postive feelings to surface.

Uncomfortable symptoms exist for a reason. We can take medication to make them go away for a while. Alternatively, we can take the time and make the effort to listen to ourselves and work, with the help of a trained ear, to decipher what our symptoms reveal about what is not going well in our lives. As a psychoanalyst, I engage with my patients directly and know that their work is not done alone. Our work can be diverse in nature: it can focus on a very precise conflict; it can be about the desire to overcome a difficult experience or a painful past; it can mean learning about oneself or receiving support to move forward.

Is stress doing strange things to your body? Difficulties with family, work, and friends can make our eyes twitch, our jaws clench, and our stomachs ache for weeks on end. If we could...somehow...find the energy to pay attention to what's happening (in our bodies and in our lives), then we could learn what we need to feel better. The truth is, the thought of focusing on any sort of struggle can be scary. I can guide you through this. I'm a compassionate person who is deeply familiar with the mind-body connection, from both sides of the couch. My gift to you today is a wealth of knowledge and experience in suffering and healing.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
