My ideal client is exhausted from trying everything and not getting better. You might be a new parent who’s overwhelmed by meeting the needs of a new baby. You might be a high-functioning person who’s barely holding it together. From the outside, you look fine. But inside you’re anxious and depressed. Or, you might be a trauma survivor who’s done years of talk therapy but can’t seem to get unstuck. Whatever you’re facing, you need relief—not just coping strategies, but actual healing. You need a therapist who actually understands the specific challenge you’re facing and can help you overcome that challenge.
I specialize in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, and PTSD. When traditional approaches haven’t been enough, ketamine therapy can create breakthrough moments and accelerate healing. I’m certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and trained in evidence-based trauma therapies.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in both evidence-based practices and genuine human connection. I bring both clinical expertise and deep understanding of the challenges you’re facing. You can call and leave a me - I’ll call you back within 24 hours. You can also use my online form to contact me.
