As a therapist, I rely heavily on the power of the therapeutic relationship, viewing this relationship as the foundation for safety in working with individuals and their internal systems. Our work together develops insight into one's own internal landscape and explores the wounds that create difficult emotions, thoughts and patterns in day to day life. Working together, such processing fosters a relationship with oneself in a way that goes beyond their past. I have experience working with all forms of trauma, as well as depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship stress. Sessions are focused on the experience, or process, of one's life, building an increased awareness and connection to oneself. This is done through slowing down one's experience and creating a relationship with one's own body. As an adjunct to therapy, I have extensive experience in psychedelic medicines and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I utilize ketamine as a way to support treatment with a primary focus on therapy. I also provide consultation for ketamine services, am a psychedelic educator and have utilized MDMA and psilocybin in FDA clinical trial settings.
