Looking to reduce or eliminate symptoms of PTSD, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, dissociation? I provide comprehensive trauma-focused care to help support your personal growth and individual goals. EMDR, Brainspotting, Deep Brain Re-Orienting, Neurofeedback, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, and Psychedelic Care. We use ego state approaches to help with dissociative presentations and use trauma resolution to help heal the traumatic memories.
General mental health, trauma (PTSD), stress, addictions, dissociation (DD/DID), anxiety, panic, anger, grief/loss, problem behaviors, spiritual crises, integrative medicine, Neurofeedback, Expressive Arts, Ketamine,and psychedelic integration/cannabis guide. Certified Anger Management Specialist. PhD in Addiction Studies and specializes in recovery as well.
Past experiences impact how we greet life today. When we don't feel connected we often feel helpless and hopeless. This is not permanent, although it can feel like it is. The eclectic therapeutic experience is an important element but our approach is also grounded in evidence-based practices.
