About My Clients

I work with kids, teens, and adults who are facing a range of struggles—whether it’s healing from trauma, managing tough relationships, coping with grief or big life changes or exploring who they are and what gives their life meaning. While receiving a diagnosis can be validating, I focus on alleviating the symptoms you’re experiencing rather than defining you by a label.

My Background and Approach

I pull primarily from Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems. I offer EMDR, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and guidance for preparation and integration for other psychedelic medicines. At the heart of it all is your story, your goals, and creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and uniquely tailored to your needs. Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe it happens best when you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered. Whether we’re working through past wounds, navigating life changes, or healing through alternate states of consciousness, I’ll be here to walk alongside you every step of the way. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change, no matter where they are in life. Mental health challenges often stem from adaptive patterns we’ve learned along the way, but the beauty of that is we can unlearn those patterns and replace them with healthier ones. I understand the frustration, stubbornness, and exhaustion that living with mental illness can cause. It’s hard work to confront those feelings, but I also know it’s possible to move through them. Through my own therapy and self-healing journey, I’ve learned how to live life more fully and authentically, embracing peace and balance along the way. That experience fuels my passion for helping others find their own paths to healing and resilience. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space for everyone. I actively support the LGBTQ+ community and believe strongly in standing up for marginalized voices. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’d love to help you get there.
