I work with clients who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, self-defeating patterns, hypervigilance, substance misuse, or complicated grief. You may just want the suffering to stop, or for a sense of safety and relief. Or maybe you need someone to listen and sit with you in how heavy it feels. If you're navigating trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, or substance misuse, I invite you to reach out. If you’re looking for a steady, compassionate therapist who understands how heavy it can feel, I would be honored to sit with you.

I believe in your own ability to heal and feel whole in this life. Whether this statement feels true in this moment or are questioning 'How do I start that process?'. I want to explore who that person is inside of you that craves to be known and seen. I focus on three main types of therapy; mindfulness, creativity/art and EMDR. I start every session with a short mindfulness skill to drop into our time together. I'm trained in EMDR which can be helpful for a range of symptoms from anxiety, depression to PTSD. I use the practice of creativity to work with the mind body connection and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

What if your anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion aren’t signs that something is wrong—but invitations to reconnect with your deeper self? The world feels heavier than ever. The pressure to keep up, the unpredictability of what’s next, and the demand to perform can leave you wondering—How do I move? Where do I belong? How do I reclaim my power? Feeling highly anxious/emotionally reactive/disconnected from your body can create cycles of overthinking, burnout, and self-doubt. You may find yourself “performing” success while secretly battling imposter syndrome and the weight of past experiences shaping how you move through the world.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapists
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.
