As a therapist, I provide the structure and support needed to deepen inner work. Have you been in therapy for a while and feel stuck? Many of us get through our initial experience in counseling and feel better, have healthier boundaries and feel more sure of ourselves. This is so incredible and many stop therapy here. For others, often therapists, creatives, spiritual seekers or those in helping professions, we have a sense that there is more to be uncovered here. That is my focus as a therapist. Inner work can feel murky. I provide a clarifying container to deepen in the midst of the unknown and the hunch that there is more to see.

I use experiential therapies including Internal Family Systems, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and psychedelic integration support with clients to support them as they explore their inner world and resources. I also provided clinical supervision to therapists and other mental health practitioners. I have a somatically oriented approach.

I work from a body neutral, neurodivers/LGBTQ+ affirming lens. Safety is key in this work. If I am not the right fit for you, it is possible someone else on my team (Starks Therapy Group) is or someone else in my network. Please reach out with any questions or for a free 15 mins consult. You will be directed to our Intake Coordinator. Just ask for Autumn!
