MY APPROACH

My traditional training in psychology, counseling, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, sex therapy, and couples therapy, while invaluable,  never fully addressed my clients’ lived experience. What was missing was an integration of the somatic and spiritual dimension that acknowledged one’s history, yet transformed it to join an essential core that was never hurt. I continue my training in models and traditions outside of my previous academic training, including:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Somatic Therapies
• Buddhist Studies and Mindfulness
• Trauma Informed Therapy
• Energy Medicine
• Transpersonal Therapy
• Psychedelic Psychotherapy

A flexible theoretical approach best supports the innate wisdom and nonlinear nature of each client’s experience. I’ve found that restricting therapy to a single theoretical framework limits the organic and transpersonal flow that spontaneously happens when it is invited from a stance of openness.  

My work is dedicated to those who seek a deep understanding of themselves and the ways life has shaped them. Together, we explore the stories, beliefs, and protective strategies that once supported your survival and growth but may now limit your ability to thrive.

The work I do has supported clients in navigating:

• Unresolved childhood pain
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Overfunctioning
• Trauma
• Relationships
• Meaning and Life Purpose
• Parenting
• Self-Esteem
• Grief, Loss & Bereavement
• Spiritual Inquiry

Ketamine is a powerful and safe healing ally when engaged with responsibly. Unfortunately, most medical practices providing ketamine are unable to attend to the vital role of set, setting, preparation and integration. This limits the client's ability to engage with the medicine actively, intentionally, and with the most therapeutic benefit. 

To address this urgent need in healthcare, I offer short-term Ketamine preparation and integration to those currently under the care of a Ketamine treatment provider working within the limitations of the medical model. Because a non-ordinary state of consciousness is inherent when engaging with ketamine, preparation and integration increase a client's ability to make meaning of the psycho-spiritual elements of the journey experience. 

I have completed  Level 1 training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) with Polaris Insight Center and have several years of continuing education in Psychedelic Psychotherapy. Currently, I am enrolled in a legal Psychedelic Guide Training in the state of Colorado.

* Please note my offering is for Ketamine Assisted Therapy preparation and integration only. I am not a Ketamine Assisted Therapist offering Ketamine treatment.
