I work with adults and adolescents. Some of the issues I work with are anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as grief and loss. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and integration sessions. I’m an LGBTQ-affirming clinician and have experience working with issues particular to LGBTQ+ folks.

I believe that physical and emotional safety and connection within a therapeutic relationship can help clients access and heal their relationships with themselves and others. For this reason, I deeply value the relationship I form with clients.

I believe that with intention and openness, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can create space for the emergence of inner healing intelligence. Along with awareness, practice, insight, and self-compassion, KAP offers clients an opportunity to see themselves and others from a new perspective. KAP also enables new neural pathways to grow, supporting healthier habits of mind and behavior.
