About
You're ready to make progress for the first time in a long time on your mental health. Traditional talk therapy has helped, but it feels like you’ve hit a wall. You’re looking for something deeper to access the parts of yourself that feel stuck. It’s time to try a new approach that helps you explore your unconscious and reconnect with your inner healing. You’re not looking for a quick fix. You’re looking for real, lasting change. This is a deep and insightful treatment. We collaborate on your intentions and help guide you to your most authentic version of yourself. Ketamine Assisted Therapy is a powerful tool that can help soften intense emotions and create space for deep healing. I offer both individual and group ketamine-assisted therapy sessions, supporting you in reconnecting with yourself and exploring new possibilities for growth and change. It's so tough to feel stuck and exhausting to keep spinning your wheels. If you're curious about trying something different and ready to go deeper, let's do this. I'm happy to partner with your existing therapist and collaborate with your physician throughout the treatment process. Reach out when you're ready. Specialties: We specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression with therapy and optional medication management. Our collaborative team works with our prescriber to ensure the best balance of meds and therapy. We offer personalized care that creates lasting change. Credentials & Experience: I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in ketamine and psychedelic-assisted therapy through MAPS, Polaris, and Fluence. I also meet monthly with a consultation group to ensure my work remains skilled, ethical, and grounded in best practices.
"With ketamine-assisted therapy, I use an inner-directed approach that supports you in accessing your own inner healer. Sessions include preparation, medicine sessions in a calm setting, and integration to help you make sense of insights and take meaningful steps toward lasting change."
