My name is Debra and I have been practicing psychotherapy and dreamwork for over 18 years. My practice has shifted primarily to ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, dreamwork, and the integration of alternative states of awareness through various arts-based, nature-based, and applied shamanic practices. We take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that physical, emotional, and spiritual health are interconnected. We believe in the transformative power of nature (both inner and outer) to guide healing and growth, bridging modern psychology with ancient spiritual practices.
The most common concerns among those seeking my services include: Feeling overwhelmed with life's demands, life stages, and life transitions; Feeling stuck creatively or energetically; Experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, loneliness, or depression; Existential concerns; Confusion around spirituality, identity, or vocation; and Birth trauma.
People tend to seek out and trust in my support for my capacity to listen and hold space for whatever wants to be born through them. My presence fosters a safe and steady container where souls can labor through their most important transitions. Feel free to email me at drdebrasherk at gmail or visit my website to learn more.
