I can help you to listen deeply to yourself, to learn to treat yourself kindly and with a keen ear for what is most important for being your fullest self. You don't have to be ruled by self-criticism, fear or past hurts. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which can expedite results beyond what's possible in talk therapy alone. KAP brings shifts in perspective that can be anchored and implemented towards lasting change. If you are struggling with painful thoughts, memories, sense of self, life choices, or relationships, I can help you find greater clarity and choices that support you to be your most authentic self.
I work with OCD/Anxiety, Trauma, Adoptee issues, Grief/Loss, End-of-life issues. I am neurodiversity affirming and knowledgeable. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and directive when needed. My work is mindfulness based, experiential & somatic (body-centered) which means we are going to do more than just talk about problems!
I am committed to social justice, LGBTQIA-affirmation and awareness of the many ways systemic oppression impacts individual development and sense of safety. I am available to learn and discuss what you need to feel empowered and seen clearly in the co-creation of our work together. I honor the unfolding of your innermost wise guidance.

I also use Inference-based cognitive behavioral therapy as an alternative to Exposure-response prevention (ERP) for OCD. It is an approach that helps restore trust in yourself and does not require exposures. It is evidence based and gaining more and more attention as an effective treatment for OCD.
