Looking to not only overcome struggles, but enhance your well-being? I work with adults looking for self-growth or struggling with anxiety, depression, and life challenges. I offer in-person or virtual talk therapy and ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP), a groundbreaking way to catalyze therapeutic growth. I deeply enjoy developing heartfelt connections with my clients- empowering them to evolve into their best selves. Therapy can be intimidating but we'll make room for some playfulness and even laughter along the way.
I create a collaborative and trusting environment that allows healing and transformation to unfold organically. We'll use practical, evidence-based techniques uniquely tailored to best fit your values and goals, checking in and adjusting along the way. After all, YOU are the expert on your life.
I deeply believe everyone's best self is already inside, sometimes it just takes some work and intentionality to let it shine through. Finding the right therapist is key- if you think I might be the right fit for you, reach out and let's chat!
