No one escapes from suffering in this life. Accidents and diagnoses pull the rug out from under us. Traumatic experiences wire our nervous systems to scan the horizon for threats. Primary caregivers cause harm even when they have good intentions. When we experience relationships in which we do not feel seen, validated, or safe, our attachment systems can be disrupted. We may become hypervigilant, have unstable connections, and reinforce an inner critic that steals our joy. We can safely process grief and loss, dismantle self-limiting beliefs, and regulate emotions so you can experience deep harmony with yourself and others. I integrate skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing to personalize a treatment plan that works best for you. I am certified as a psychedelic assisted therapy provider by IPI and offer preparation and integration sessions as well as in-person ketamine assisted therapy. I can support all other needs via telehealth. If you experience sadness and need hope that healing is at hand, feel anxious and long for peace, and want to shift old patterns of pain into healthy expression, book a 15-min consult call to see if we might be a good fit. My clients have found me to be authentic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and constructive and I look forward to building our alliance.
