Are you looking to deepen your recovery? Tired of the one-size-fits-all approach? My practice offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as psychotherapy for addiction recovery. You’ve likely been through a lot and might be having a tough time identifying what’s getting in the way of making it through these tough times. Or maybe you have an idea of what’s happening and just unsure how to proceed. Ketamine can act as a catalyst for deep healing. Individual differences matter and together we can explore ideas and implement solutions for healing based on the context of your life situation.

Right Psychologist for You! I am the right psychologist for you because we are going to do everything in our power to make your therapy a success. You and I achieve what you need and want now and in the future. We integrate your social, psychological, and emotional well-being. Your treatment equips you with the required training to overcome current and unfolding adversity when encountered. Evidence-based clinical practice enables you to repel anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship, and trauma issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Descriptive Psychology remove your remaining concerns.

After working with adults for over twenty-five years in the fields of addictions and therapy, I’ve learned that you and I are a lot alike: we want to feel good and not feel pain; we want to be able to breathe easier and not feel troubled. Our work will involve exploring habitual patterns and looking at obstacles that have obscured the answers to your questions; we will work patiently, diligently, creatively and with humor to become more aware of them. We will work to mindfully loosen the grip of those obstacles, bit by bit, while exploring alternatives and options.

Welcome! I specialize in Eastern psychology, mindfulness, and psychedelic therapy using ketamine. I create a safe space for self-discovery and inner harmony. Through mindfulness, we cultivate awareness and self-compassion. I offer transformative ketamine-assisted therapy, adhering to ethical standards. Ideal for those seeking breakthroughs, relief from emotional distress, and profound personal growth. If you find yourself feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, resistance to change and/or relationship patterns that do not serve you, this is the work for you.

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

Couples therapy: I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy. EFT leads a couple to get right to the heart of the problems that keep relationships unsatisfying and disconnected. The goal of EFT is to help you create safety and security in your relationship so that deep connection can grow from the practice of honesty and vulnerability. EFT has been found to be successful with about 75% of couples.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years experience working with adolescents and adults. My areas of focus are with anxiety, depression, substance abuse/addictions, life transitions, ADD/ADHD and low motivation/self-esteem. I support individuals in working through their barriers, creating healthy coping skills, helping to establish a true sense of self, connection within relationships and within ones community. In addition, I am a trained Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapist and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP) who offers preparation and integration support for psychedelic use.

I believe our emotional lives - our feelings & memories - provide vital links to our capacity for aliveness. However, we often struggle to makes sense of these experiences and to use them for meaningful change. Core emotions that frequently haunt us like fear, anger, sadness, loneliness can be openings to a greater sense of meaning when explored, elaborated, and understood in a therapeutic group setting.

Hope is not something that everyone has, but it is something everyone deserves. I work successfully with adolescents and adults to overcome difficult problems including addiction, substance abuse, trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship problems, and overwhelming emotions. My expertise in both psychotherapy and addictions counseling allows me to help people resolve compounding problems though an integrative and effective approach. My passion is working with complex trauma, extremely intense emotions, and addiction. I am committed to helping you feel better, uncover your potential, and achieve meaningful goals.

I believe the therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for understanding where we come from, and how our survival strategies and coping skills have benefitted us in the past, while also shining a light on which ones may be due for an upgrade. With a witness, and using principles of somatic therapy we can begin to excavate the limiting beliefs taking up valuable real estate in our psyche and put in motion an upshift of our self-concept. The therapeutic container acts as a vessel in which to recontextualize who we have been, who we are now and who we want to become.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. We aim to cultivate hope in all our clients. We work with adolescents and adults to overcome complex and difficult to treat problems, including substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship issues, and overwhelming emotions. We often deal with more than one problem at a time. Our passion is helping people who struggle with multiple problems build a fulfilling and meaningful life.

You have a calling to know yourself more completely, to make lasting changes in habitual pattens, to engage in the deep healing of unconscious unfinished business, and to integrate awakened insights fully into the body, into relationships, and into your life in the world. We get to know each other to build trust, identify areas for exploration, and then we dive. The therapeutic experience involves transformational epiphanies and the processing of hidden and stuck emotions. I gently challenge my clients to lean into uncomfortable places and build the tolerance for psycho-spiritual unfolding. See my website for more information.

I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping my clients navigate the complexities of life, find strength within themselves, and overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. I believe that everyone possesses the power to become the best version of themself, and my mission in working with you is to support you on becoming this powerful being. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll explore the root causes of your anxiety and depression, helping you gain insight into your unique experiences.

Life is full of ups and downs and neither need be feared. Despite our best efforts, we cannot avoid suffering. Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand our lives. It can help us learn to recognize patterns of seeking safety at the cost of aliveness. My clients often are seeking relief from anxiety and stress, or working with specific challenges, including substance abuse, relationship challenges, career difficulties and life transitions. I work with individuals who are seeking to develop greater spiritual awareness and more joy in life. If you are looking change careers or want to find meaning in life, I can help.

Let’s be real. These are dark times, and uncertainty abounds. Old wounds may be coming to the surface, and the thought of facing them may feel downright terrifying……It IS terrifying. I believe that these moments are opportunities for us to learn, accept, and grow in our capacity to be Compassionate with ourselves, and with one another. This is how Transformational Healing occurs. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationships with substances, or existential dread (perhaps all the above), YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Therapy is such a unique and personal journey, therefore I practice an integrative and individualized style of therapy to best address your specific needs. My therapeutic style can be described as interactive, empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently challenging. I focus on helping to build on client's strengths while also directing attention to those behaviors and thoughts that hold people back from achieving their goals and living a more authentic life. I have particular expertise with eating disorders, addictions, depression, anxiety, highly sensitive temperament, self-esteem issues, and relationship issues.

Hope is not something that everyone has, but it is something everyone deserves.

Most people suffer from more than one problem at once. My expertise allows me to help people resolve compounding problems though an integrative and effective approach. My passion is working with complex trauma, intense emotions, and addiction. I am committed to helping you feel better, uncover your potential, and achieve meaningful goals.

The passion for the work that I do comes from my deep conviction that everyone can benefit from, and in fact deserves, a safe space to be truly heard, seen, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and have experience/ training in supporting clients struggling with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, shame, trauma/PTSD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. I do not ascribe to a one size fits all model of therapy and believe every client to be unique both in terms of there personal goals for therapy and the best way to help them reach these goals
