As of 1/2026, I have a waitlist for short-term ketamine assisted psychotherapy and in-person ongoing therapy for Tu/Th afternoons (no virtual). Reach out for time frames. I believe trauma underlies most mental health distress and uncovering this root takes bravery and support. I genuinely care about the people I work with and this authentic relationship serves as the foundation for change. Using emotion-focused and body-based strategies we explore how the past influences your patterns of behaving today. My goal is to help you connect with your authentic self so that you can feel more engaged and grounded in your current life.
I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy incorporated into ongoing care with me or as adjunctive to your current psychotherapy. In the latter, after thorough intake and prep, clients typically have 3 - 6 sessions involving medicine and multiple integration sessions before transitioning back to long term therapy providers. KAP is partially covered by insurance
Not all therapists offering KAP receive extensive training. I have completed a year-long psychedelic assisted psychotherapy program and am certified to offer KAP by the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. I provide ethical care with priority given to physical and psychological safety. Contact me now to set up a free consultation to learn more.
