    About Me:

    Hi and welcome! I have over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I take time to create a safe and inviting space with focus on the therapeutic relationship. I provide a non-judgmental, trauma informed, holistic and caring approach with a splash of humor. I am passionate about providing ketamine assisted psychotherapy and hold a certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. I am EMDRia trained. I also hold a certificate in Evidence Based Treatment for the Care of Clinicians.

    Description of Services:

    I mainly provide a "bottom up" approach such as EMDR (Eye movement and desensitization reprocessing), ego state therapy, IFS, acceptance and commitment therapy, and KAP (ketamine assisted psychotherapy). I believe we all have our own inner healing intelligence and with the right support and care, we can tap into that inner healer and begin a journey of wellness, growth, and most importantly healing. As Carl Rogers once said "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change"

  • My Process

    Overview of Experience:

    Creating a safe container where the therapeutic relationship can thrive and grow is vital in this process. I will take the time to create this with you where you feel safe and able to explore your inner world. Continuing to explore intentions and what you want to get out of the experience comes next. Working with all parts of Self to understand any concerns any parts might have. On medicine days you can expect a nice calm space where you will have the option for scents, refreshments, blankets and on going support. We will go over your intention and flight instructions along with any other questions or concerns you may have. You will be in a reclined position with eye shades and headphones. A curated playlist will be provided. You will be encouraged to "trust, let go, be open" to the experience. We will process your experience once you are out of the medicine space. We will have an integration session the day after as well to continue to explore your experience and work with any parts that may have ben activated.

    Intake Process:

    I provide a 15 minute free consultation to decide if working together is a good fit. During intake it will be determined if you are a good candidate for KAP through a psychological assessment. If you are, you will meet with a prescriber (either yours or one that I work with) who will do a full medical evaluation and further determine your eligibility for KAP. If you are cleared medically, you will receive a prescription for sublingual ketamine. You will bring this prescription with you to your medicine session.
