Throughout life, we develop certain ways of dealing with our thoughts and feelings that often aren’t helpful. We’re often taught to run from discomfort, “just stop thinking about it,” avoid important things because we could be uncomfortable doing them, and lots of other coping methods that work short term but don’t lead us to live rich lives. Therapy can be a place where you learn how to have a different relationship with your experience while simultaneously identifying your values and taking action towards them. I specialize in helping those with trauma, PTSD, OCD, GAD, Social Anxiety, relationship issues, self-worth, & depression.
Therapy with me would involve learning skills to notice thoughts and feelings, challenge the thoughts if helpful, or simply learn to let them go, like leaves floating down a stream. Of equal importance is also learning to feel your feelings! These methods are primarily from ACT and CBT approaches. Please visit my website below for more thourough info!
In addition to talk therapy, I also provide KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy). KAP, a cutting-edge modality, can greatly help accelerate the healing process and get you "unstuck." I partner with Journey Clinical, a medical organization that prescribes the medicine. Please email me or visit my website for more in-depth information!

I like to use "evidenced based practices" like ACT, CBT, and KAP which mean the methods are backed by research and are shown to be effective. But, every person is unique and I tailor my approach to fit your specific needs, identity (gender, sexuality, spiritual, race/ethnicity, etc.), and goals. Humans are unique and therefore deserve a flexible approach and a culturally competent therapist!
