Clients have called my style authentic, direct, and compassionate. I try to provide warmth and a sense of humor.

As a Certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist, I work in partnership with Journey Clinical's medical team, who'll determine eligibility to prescribe, in advance of our KAP work together.

Many of the clients I work with have either lost or struggled to develop a sense of control in their lives and relationships– having fallen into destructive patterns of substance abuse/addiction and impulsive and/or self-harming behaviors. Others may be struggling with an excess of self-imposed control– leading to a sense of isolation and fear of taking healthy risks. Some are confronting a major life-transition, loss of identity, divorce, death of a loved one or faced with a pervading sense of meaninglessness. All are, in one way or another, seeking to increase their sense of personal agency and effectiveness in daily life.
