Maybe something terrible happened to you or someone you love, and you wonder how to live with the triggers, grief, and anger. Your relationships are likely affected - maybe you overreact or feel numb and detached from others. You learned coping skills, but are frankly tired of coping. There is good news - the brain can heal itself, called neuroplasticity. I experienced trauma first-hand and healed. I can help you do the same. Trauma is a body condition with psychological consequences. If traditional approaches haven't worked, you may have undischarged traumatic stress. Let's get to the root and resolve it once and for all!
I specialize in PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, grief, depression, dissociative disorders, and codependency. After facilitating over 4,000 sessions, I believe ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is the most effective treatment available. You don't have to relive your trauma to heal it. Honestly, you CAN experience relief in weeks, not years.
Your brain has the capacity to heal in the presence of a deeply attuned therapist. I listen with the “third ear”—not just hearing your words, but striving to understand your experience as if I were walking in your shoes. If this speaks to you, I invite you to call for a free consultation.

It is possible to extract trauma and grief from the deep recesses of your brain and integrate the material into the thinking parts of the brain. You can expect to end triggers and "highjacking" of your autonomic nervous system. During your first appointment, we co-create a treatment plan with measurable goals. We check this living document often to cross off the met goals and move to the next one.

Though trained in traditional talk therapy, I use contemporary treatments because they work faster and succeed where conventional methods fail. You don't have to suffer a day, minute, or even a second longer than necessary. In our first session, we set clear goals to release trauma, reduce symptoms, and transition from survival to thriving. Healing is not only possible - it's within reach!
