What do Mindfulness and Ketamine have to do with YOU? They are two of the most powerful healing methods for improving mental health challenges, and either/both may be the key to removing your internal barriers to reveal the best of who you already are underneath your struggles: open, content, grateful, fulfilled. Clients typically come to me feeling anxious, depressed, incomplete, stressed, burned out. Of course they want to feel heard and supported in therapy, but they want and need more than that. What they really want is guidance on how to handle their problems and make the shift into living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Do traumatic experiences cause you worry, anxiety, and regret? Do they intrude on your relationships, sleep, and enjoyment of life? Perhaps you've become adept at pushing down the memories and the feelings. But it's getting more and more difficult. They show up anyway, like an uninvited guest.

I provide holistic psychotherapy to help my clients create a more joyful and fulfilling life for themselves. I work well with a wide variety of psychoemotional problems. These include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions. Relationship difficulties are a specialty of mine and I take a lot of joy in helping people improve their relationship life. My approach is different than most therapy and psychiatry in that it's not just about reducing symptoms, it's about each person's unique formula for happiness.

I've been fascinated with how people change and don't change over the last 30 years. There is some stuckness in ourselves and others I think we'd all like to feel the power to transform. I've realized that fears about the sense of self not being good enough, lovable, or valuable knock us out of our connection to our internal core values, right in the moment where our core values would transform the situation. Contemplate when you let yourself down and don't follow through with what you know you want to do. Reflect on the times you've needed compassion and only received an evaluation. How would you change all this stuckness?

Are you struggling with anxiety, or feeling stuck? Do you overthink or are overly critical of yourself and others? Do you seek perfection yet feel like you are failing? Do you feel unsatisfied, stuck in a procrastination cycle or unable to appreciate your accomplishments? Are you in a pattern of hoping external accomplishments or relationships meet your needs? These can be maladaptive responses of depression, anxiety, and trauma. Dynamics in relationships can be complicated, even more so when there is trauma, not knowing how to support your partner, or there has been issues with trust.

Mama, I see you. You’re doing everything you can to hold it together—for your family, your work, your people. It looks like you're managing, but inside you’re overwhelmed, anxious, maybe even sinking. Exhausted but can’t rest, because the mental load never really lets up.
You are showing up for everyone else, even when you're struggling to show up for yourself. Sleep is hard, self-care feels out of reach, and the weight of unhealed trauma makes it all heavier.
If this sounds like you, you're not alone. I'm here to hold space for you and EMDR can help!
