Humans are by nature social animals and yet many of us have lost connection within ourselves and our community. I believe this is due, in part, to a frantic world that has led to relational trauma, a poor sense of self, health challenges, addiction, loss and isolation. Feeling relevant, finding meaning, having a mission, knowing joy and learning emotional regulation/tolerance/resiliency are ways in which we can heal ourselves and the world at large. I work with individuals (adults only) and couples.

Trauma leaves us feeling constantly fearful or numb. The stress and tension in our bodies persist even when there is "nothing wrong." You may be exhausted from feeling this way but powerless to change because no one seems to understand, and nothing seems to work.

You are ready to let go of anxiety and depression dictating your choices. You are ready to wake up in the morning with a sense of hope rather than dread. You are ready to like the person you see in the mirror.

Going to therapy doesn’t mean that you can’t handle life challenges. Rather, it’s a gift that you give yourself to stay mentally and emotionally fit.

You’ve tried traditional talk therapy, self-help books, maybe even medication, exercise and diet changes, but something still feels off. You’re stuck in emotional cycles—anxiety, depression, or disconnection that won’t let go. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same arguments, or past trauma lingers, shaping your reactions in ways you don’t fully understand. You feel frustrated, like you “should” be fine, but something is still unresolved. You’re ready for transformation, a deeper knowing of your true self, not just coping or surviving. You want lasting change that helps you move forward with clarity, love and purpose.

We all struggle to manage present and past distressing situations that sometimes have unknown affects to our self. When we are in a traumatic situation or overwhelmed by our emotions, we can feel unsure of how to get out of survival mode and back into active living mode. The effects of distressing events and emotions on our whole self can be lasting and many times makes us do things that feel out of our control with long lasting negative effects. Our innate human resilience can allow us to function in daily life yet inside we struggle to know who we are, what we are doing and what we truly feel.

My ideal client is someone who wants to get to the root cause of their anxiety, depression, stress or PTSD symptoms and has struggled to find success through traditional therapy that focuses on their thinking without addressing the underlying feeling. The source of the problem is not in the mind, but the trauma that is trapped in the body underneath the emotion. This trauma is what keeps us from exploring our emotions and finding a sense of connection. If your goal is to solve the mental health issues at the root cause, so you can live the best life possible, I'd love to schedule a free 15-minute consultation over the phone.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a treatment method that involves using ketamine’s trance-inducing and pain-relieving properties to help individuals work through various mental and emotional challenges.
Why is Ketamine used for depression?
Ketamine is employed to treat depression, particularly when other treatments have failed, due to its unique, rapid-acting relief of depressive symptoms and its ability to enhance neural plasticity. Unlike conventional antidepressants, which may take weeks to be effective, ketamine can alleviate symptoms within hours, making it especially valuable for severe or suicidal depression. It acts by blocking NMDA receptors, subsequently promoting the release of neurotrophic factors like BDNF, which aid in the formation of new synaptic connections, fostering neural resilience and reducing depressive symptoms. The psychotropic and dissociative effects of ketamine also provide a therapeutic window for patients to explore and reframe distressing thoughts and emotions under guided supervision, potentially resolving underlying psychological contributors to depression. While its use can be transformative, it necessitates cautious administration in controlled settings due to potential side effects and abuse risks.
How is Ketamine used in Psychotherapy
Ketamine can be utilized in therapy to facilitate psychological healing and transformation, particularly in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. When administered in controlled, subanesthetic doses, it induces altered states of consciousness, allowing individuals to access and explore suppressed or unconscious thoughts, emotions, and memories. This dissociative state creates a therapeutic window where patients, guided by a trained psychotherapist, can work through traumatic experiences, reframe negative thought patterns, and address the emotional roots of their mental health challenges. The synergistic combination of ketamine’s psychotropic effects and psychotherapeutic intervention aims to promote lasting change, enhance self-awareness, and improve overall mental well-being, providing a valuable option for those with treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
What happens in Ketamine therapy?
In ketamine psychotherapy, patients undergo a series of sessions where they receive controlled doses of ketamine, typically via injection or infusion, under the supervision of a trained healthcare provider. Ketamine induces a trance-like or altered state of consciousness, which enables patients to access and explore deep-seated thoughts, emotions, and memories that are typically unconscious or inaccessible. Throughout this altered state, a trained psychotherapist guides the patient to help them process their experiences, offering support and intervention to help the individual address and reframe traumatic memories or negative thought patterns. This combination of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches aims to create lasting positive changes in mental health and well-being by resolving underlying psychological issues and enhancing the individual's coping mechanisms and resilience. The process can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with treatment-resistant mental health conditions like severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
