I use short-term dynamic psychotherapy along with ketamine-assisted therapy, working with clients waking- or sleep-life dreams and symbolism to help bring that which has been feared into light, love, understanding and acceptance.
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an approach to therapy that demands full and active collaboration between the patient and therapist. The patient is expected to bring a will to live as fulfilled and happy a life as possible. In using ISTDP I approach the patient's time as invaluable, and believe the wisest approach is to be up front with the patient immediately and continuously, to bring relief from suffering in the fastest and safest way possible. Therapy is typically conducted on a weekly basis following the initial evaluation until goals are achieved.

Undone Counseling is a psychotherapeutic practice serving individuals interested in engaging in an exploration of self in the pursuit of healing and growth. Therapy for you might be a mending of past trauma, grief and hurt or an undoing of ideas and systems that no longer serve you. It is a beautiful unraveling of parts of self and an excavation of our history in discovery of who we are and who we will become. My role is to help you process what you are experiencing, discover areas that may need strengthening and restoration while working on a plan to meet your specific goals.

I find a lot of joy in helping teens and adults discover and uncover their truest selves. If you are someone who wants to increase self-compassion, heal from trauma, challenge long held beliefs about yourself or the world, strengthen relationships, process grief and loss, and/or find the inner strength and resources to make desired changes in your life, I might be a good fit for you.

I specialize in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, and PTSD.
My ideal client is exhausted from trying everything and not getting better. You might be a new parent who’s overwhelmed by meeting the needs of a new baby. You might be a high-functioning person who’s barely holding it together. From the outside, you look fine. But inside you’re anxious and depressed. Or, you might be a trauma survivor who’s done years of talk therapy but can’t seem to get unstuck. Whatever you’re facing, you need relief—not just coping strategies, but actual healing. You need a therapist who actually understands the specific challenge you’re facing and can help you overcome that challenge.
