I am a somatic trauma therapist who works with developmental trauma, attachment wounds, shame, grief, and intimacy issues. I also draw from IFS, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, somatic sex therapy, and psychedelic therapy.
If you’ve struggled to feel fully seen in therapy—or felt pressure to self-edit just to get support—this space is different. My style is warm, gentle, and rooted in the body. Together we slow down, listen inward, and help your system release old patterns of tension, fear, and disconnection.
Healing happens when you feel safe enough to experience your emotions fully, without judgment or performance.

My ideal client has done enough living to know something isn’t working — maybe they can name it, maybe it’s just a persistent weight they can’t shake. They’re not looking for coping strategies or a checklist. They want to actually understand themselves: why they keep ending up in the same patterns, what’s underneath the anxiety or restlessness, what kind of life would actually feel like theirs.
Many of the people I work with are men navigating transition — career, relationship, identity, meaning. Guys who are thoughtful, often high-functioning, and quietly exhausted by the gap between how their life looks and how it actually feels.

There's an aspect of you that is already whole and complete, who already knows who you really are. Sometimes you touch it when you're at your best. I know that you've felt it in moments of unexpected clarity: those passing seconds where you see your life in fullness. A sentence or two that came out of your mouth with a kind of confidence that feels unfamiliar. A brief sense of your own sacred, unique place in this world. Then it's gone, replaced again by a gray fog of pattern, habit, and repetition.
What you feel is not an illusion. It's your true self, knocking at the door of your attention. Why not try opening the door?

We use EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted work to clear the old weight, and IFS and Gestalt to meet the parts of you ready to emerge.
You’re at a crossroads, feeling stuck in a body that’s perpetually "on guard." Whether you’re a Veteran weary from the armor of service, a Queer adult navigating the nuances of identity discovery, or a seeker tired of the cycle of anxiety, depression and addiction, you have reached a point where the pain of staying the same is greater than the fear of changing. Maybe you’ve talked about your trauma for years, but your nervous system is still in survival mode. You aren't just looking for a listener; you are ready for a metamorphosis and a life built on your own wants, not just your needs.

You feel anxious, might never have felt good enough, may be burned out, and fear you won’t ever get to live a life you want to be living. You are tired of trying to fix everything on your own, or don't even know where to begin. You long to feel more free, confident, secure, able to make decisions, and able to reach for your dreams or have a life you feel good in. You may even feel stuck between being true to yourself and losing or impacting those you love. You may be tired of feeling alone in this.

For over 25 years, my work has centered on the dialogue between the story the body tells and the lived impact experiences that shape us. Through intentional inner focus, I support clients in cultivating the awareness that makes new ways of being possible. I’ve have learned that what many of us are seeking is liberation from what holds us hostage and a renewed relationship with ourselves. My intention is to offer connection, reflection, and deep listening as each person’s process unfolds. Therapy in this setting is a cultivation between process, awareness and attunement, and the celebration of shared lived experiences.

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.
