You have more power over your healing than you think! Truly, you have the incredible ability to self-heal. My goal is to empower your mind and body to face restoration through safe and powerful interventions. Starting therapy can be intimidating, as confronting the dissonance in life takes courage. You are worthy of the time and space it takes to heal. It is a privilege to hear your story and share protective energy as we turn inward together. Sessions will be most beneficial for those who actively seek a natural path to peace and clarity.

Life can feel heavy at times. Stress, anxiety, past experiences, and constant expectations can make it hard to feel present, hopeful, or at peace.

Whether it’s surges of weekly anxiety, disturbing thoughts and memories that won't go away, or an inability to feel good about ourselves after achieving all we set out to do, my clients have hit a wall and their coping skills just aren't working anymore. For clients who have tried traditional talk therapy without success, I also offer psychedelic-assisted therapy to unstick long standing symptoms and patterns.

Healing is hardly ever linear. Wether you've been doing deep work for years, or maybe just starting to notice how much you’ve been carrying you may be feeling stuck in familiar patterns, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. If this is the case, I'd love to help you sort through the noise. Therapy should be a grounded and compassionate space where your nervous system can slow down and your story can unfold at its own pace. My work integrates mind, body, and emotion, whether you are healing trauma, navigating relationship dynamics, or integrating a psychedelic experience.

Our experiences, especially the difficult ones, can deeply affect how we think, feel, and relate to others. Therapy offers a space to understand those patterns and begin to heal. You may find yourself stuck in old patterns, feeling distant in your relationships, or carrying a sense of disconnection from yourself. It might be hard to feel safe, confident, or fully present in daily life. Deep down, you want to feel more grounded, more at ease, and more connected—to yourself, to others, and to the life you imagine for yourself.

Are you a Veteran seeking a Nexus letter/Independent Medical Opinion? My primary focus is on providing Mental Health Evaluations and Nexus letters for Veterans seeking mental health benefits from the VA. I have helped many veterans through the process, including preparing them for their C&P exam, obtaining other medical documentation, and providing support and guidance throughout. The process typically takes 7-10 days, and I work at your pace, as most Veterans have not asked for help.

They want more than coping skills; they want depth, discretion, and a sex-positive, trauma-informed therapist who understands both emotional and relational dynamics. Their goal is lasting regulation, authentic connection, and a grounded sense of self-trust.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a treatment method that involves using ketamine’s trance-inducing and pain-relieving properties to help individuals work through various mental and emotional challenges.

Why is Ketamine used for depression?
Ketamine is employed to treat depression, particularly when other treatments have failed, due to its unique, rapid-acting relief of depressive symptoms and its ability to enhance neural plasticity. Unlike conventional antidepressants, which may take weeks to be effective, ketamine can alleviate symptoms within hours, making it especially valuable for severe or suicidal depression. It acts by blocking NMDA receptors, subsequently promoting the release of neurotrophic factors like BDNF, which aid in the formation of new synaptic connections, fostering neural resilience and reducing depressive symptoms. The psychotropic and dissociative effects of ketamine also provide a therapeutic window for patients to explore and reframe distressing thoughts and emotions under guided supervision, potentially resolving underlying psychological contributors to depression. While its use can be transformative, it necessitates cautious administration in controlled settings due to potential side effects and abuse risks.

How is Ketamine used in Psychotherapy
Ketamine can be utilized in therapy to facilitate psychological healing and transformation, particularly in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. When administered in controlled, subanesthetic doses, it induces altered states of consciousness, allowing individuals to access and explore suppressed or unconscious thoughts, emotions, and memories. This dissociative state creates a therapeutic window where patients, guided by a trained psychotherapist, can work through traumatic experiences, reframe negative thought patterns, and address the emotional roots of their mental health challenges. The synergistic combination of ketamine’s psychotropic effects and psychotherapeutic intervention aims to promote lasting change, enhance self-awareness, and improve overall mental well-being, providing a valuable option for those with treatment-resistant mental health conditions.

What happens in Ketamine therapy?
In ketamine psychotherapy, patients undergo a series of sessions where they receive controlled doses of ketamine, typically via injection or infusion, under the supervision of a trained healthcare provider. Ketamine induces a trance-like or altered state of consciousness, which enables patients to access and explore deep-seated thoughts, emotions, and memories that are typically unconscious or inaccessible. Throughout this altered state, a trained psychotherapist guides the patient to help them process their experiences, offering support and intervention to help the individual address and reframe traumatic memories or negative thought patterns. This combination of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches aims to create lasting positive changes in mental health and well-being by resolving underlying psychological issues and enhancing the individual's coping mechanisms and resilience. The process can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with treatment-resistant mental health conditions like severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
