I work with individuals and couples who feel a pull toward deeper self-understanding and more connected relationships—those ready to explore the internal and external dynamics that shape how they feel, respond, and relate. Our work will center on understanding your experience with care and curiosity, honoring each part of you that has developed in response to your story.
I offer a systemic, compassionate approach to exploration and healing, rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy- for ongoing clients within my practice and for clients of other providers- to attune to issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma, and existential concerns.
Healing is about reconnecting with the parts of you that have been carrying too much, too long, on their own. Whether through traditional therapy, KAP, or a thoughtful combination of both, I offer a collaborative, attuned relationship where your experience is honored, your strengths are supported, and your growth is deeply respected.
