About
Anxiety & Somatic-Based Therapy - LGBTQIA+ Affirming - Ketamine-Assisted Therapy & Integration. People often reach out when something feels off beneath the surface. You may look high functioning yet feel internally overwhelmed. With nearly two decades of experience in the field, I work with thoughtful, capable clients navigating anxiety, overthinking, nervous system activation, creative blocks, or identity shifts. I offer somatic-based therapy, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, integration support, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy within a structured clinical process. My work blends mindfulness-based therapy, narrative therapy, somatic integration, and Brainspotting-informed approaches. We address both physiological stress patterns and the deeper narratives shaping your experience. Sessions are grounded, collaborative, and focused on steady, sustainable change. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy includes preparation and integration as core components of treatment. If you are considering therapy, we begin with a consultation to clarify what is bringing you in and whether this approach aligns with your goals. Some continue. Others leave with greater clarity. Specialties: I integrate Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, somatic work, and Brainspotting to address anxiety, self-doubt, feeling stuck, and destabilizing experiences. Clients often include meditation training as part of therapy. I also provide psychedelic integration and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy within a structured, clinically grounded process focused on sustainable change. Credentials & Experience: In addition to my formal clinical training, I have completed yoga teacher training, am a Reiki Teacher of over 20 years, & have received specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy through CIIS. This informs my integrative, mind-body approach while remaining grounded in clinical practice.
"My work integrates Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based and somatic approaches, Brainspotting, psychedelic integration, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. These modalities help regulate the nervous system, process significant experiences, and shift entrenched patterns. Clients often gain steadier emotional responses, clearer decision-making, and movement in areas that once felt stuck."
