Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and in Massachusetts. I have started using IFS and KAP, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. You can work with just me or you can use me as the psychedelic clinician and for ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I received my master's from Springfield College and have been practicing for 15 years. I practice a integrative, multicultural, practice of compassionate healing and growth. You are not just lectured at or listened to, we come together to help spark that part of you that was always there.
We create more of a learning and practicing environment until it feels natural. Everyone starts out in life learning from their experiences and those who raise us. Later we can add more effective communication approaches, gain a deeper understanding, and efficient, empathetic problem solving.
We've led people to a better understanding of themselves and accomplishment of their goals.

Without awareness, there is no moving forward in action. I use ketamine assisted psychotherapy to help people who are stuck, have tried everything, and want to feel hope. 360$ for 2 doses and 300$ more for 6 more. I offer groups and mini retreats to keep the cost down. I use IFS, EMDR, somatic therapy and NVC. I highly recommend support groups & peer supports!
