Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau? Are you experiencing trauma and PTSD due to a break-up, divorce, grief, sexual addiction, infidelity, love addiction, or sexual abuse and wonder if relief will ever be available to you? Perhaps you're curious if the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy could help you find the change you are seeking. If so, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

I work particularly well with women, creatives, & queer people, including non-binary, lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, & pansexual folks. I also specialize in recovery from coercive control, including high demand religions (especially the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints/LDS/Mormonism), narcissistic abuse, and cults, both religious & secular.
My clients often appreciate an eclectic approach utilizing somatic, relational, attachment-based, mindfulness-based (MBCT), psychodynamic, & Internal Family Systems (IFS) modalities. I also specialize in working with clients with developmental trauma and C-PTSD. I hope that you’ll reach out for a complimentary 15 minute consultation today.
