Trauma profoundly influences our lens on the world and impacts emotional, physical, and mental well-being. I take an integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic and systems perspectives to support understanding of internal experiences and their relational contexts. I create a supportive space for clients to reflect and process their experiences, while drawing on their inherent ability to heal and grow. Together, we use a bottom-up/top-down approach to process past experiences for a more connected and grounded future. I work with individuals and couples, and offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and Imago couples therapy.
KAP augments talk therapy to uncover your inner intelligence and inherent resilience to process difficult life experience. Combined with psychotherapy, the medicine increases propensity to make meaningful change in thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional health—a powerful tool for clients who feel stuck and need to be reminded that they are not broken.
A strong therapeutic relationship is critical for effective treatment. You should have an opportunity to interview clinicians, ask questions, and, for both client and therapist, to evaluate for a good therapeutic fit. Please feel free to request a brief interview and I will respond when I'm able.

While each person has a unique experience, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy helps clients process trauma in a way that feels safe and with long-lasting results. KAP can be experienced individually or with a loved one. I also practice Imago therapy with couples to improve communication, enhance empathy, and deepen an understanding of how our past influences how we show up in our adult relationships.

I often use relational therapies, exploring relationships with oneself, partners, family, and others. This approach helps to identify how past relationships and experiences show up in the present, so we can develop and deepen empathy, and live with intention.
