Somatic Experiencing

At my practice, I offer somatic experiencing therapy – a wholistic approach that utilizes the wisdom of the body to process trauma. This approach recognizes the importance of integrating the mind and body in the healing process, allowing for a deeper and longer-lasting recovery. Through somatic experiencing therapy, we'll work collaboratively to help you heal from past traumas and move forward with a newfound sense of resilience and strength.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
                       

EMDR is a highly effective treatment for those suffering from trauma.  I provide a safe, comfortable environment for clients to work through their trauma. EMDR is titrated to your individual needs, ensuring that we work at a pace that you are comfortable with, allowing you to slowly integrate new thoughts and feelings, and gain new meaning from your past experiences.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a unique and transformative approach to therapy that views the mind as a system of parts with varying emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. A core principle of IFS is that every part has a valuable role to play and carries with it important wisdom and information. By learning to identify and communicate with these parts in a supportive and non-judgmental environment, individuals can effectively address and heal longstanding emotional wounds. 

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a

custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes.

Areas of Expertise

My Approach

With over two decades of experience in the field of trauma, I have honed my expertise and stayed abreast of the latest advancements in emerging therapeutic modalities. Through continuous training, I have equipped myself with a plethora of techniques and modalities that enable me to effectively address the complex nuances of trauma. Recognizing the unique nature of each individual's journey, I approach therapy with an unwavering commitment to creativity and attunement to the personal needs of my clients. This fusion of clinical data and a deep appreciation for the mystical and spiritual dimensions of healing allows me to offer a holistic and comprehensive approach to therapy.

 

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their inner landscapes and tap into their innate wisdom. By integrating evidence-based clinical interventions with the intuitive wisdom of my clients, I empower individuals to embark on a transformative healing journey. I believe that this integration not only facilitates the resolution of trauma but also fosters a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in one's life. Through a collaborative and personalized approach, I guide my clients in harnessing their own internal resources, helping them navigate their unique paths towards growth, resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being.
