My approach to therapy is grounded in creating a welcoming, safe, and attuned space where clients feel respected and supported in showing up as their full selves. My work honors the deep connection between mind, body, nervous system, and spirit, integrating humanistic therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic healing, and spirituality.

Sessions focus on how lived experiences are held in the body as implicit memories and shaped through our relationships. Rather than concentrating solely on symptoms, therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness, bodily sensation, emotional experience, and relational patterns to support healing. Together, we approach your inner world with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.

Therapy allows for an opportunity to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, build nervous system resilience, and deepen self-understanding. Through collaborative and gently paced exploration, clients can cultivate greater balance, authenticity, and a felt sense of connection—to themselves, to others, and to something larger than themselves.

Ketamine-assisted therapy is a gentle, heart-centered approach that weaves together ketamine and psychotherapy to support healing, insight, and inner connection. Working with ketamine can open a spacious state of awareness, helping clients step outside habitual patterns and access deeper emotional and spiritual layers.

As ketamine use has risen rapidly in both medical and wellness settings, it has become even more important to approach this work with care, discernment, and responsibility. Ketamine is a powerful tool, but it is not appropriate for everyone, nor is it something to rush into. My process with ketamine emphasizes thorough assessment, thoughtful pacing, and ongoing dialogue to determine readiness and suitability. Safety, informed consent, and individualized care guide every step, allowing ketamine to be used intentionally—as part of a broader therapeutic process rather than a stand-alone intervention.

Before beginning ketamine sessions, building a strong foundation of safety and trust with clients is essential to this work. Taking time to establish rapport, clarify intentions, and develop coping and grounding skills helps ensure that sessions are not only meaningful, but also integrated and supportive long after the experience itself.

A Note on Safety, Legality, and Discernment

Psychedelic work invites deep experiences of altered states of consciousness and it is important to approach this work with care, responsibility, and respect. Laws surrounding psychedelic substances vary by location and may change over time. Clients are encouraged to become informed about the legal status of any substances in their region and to act in accordance with local laws.

Because these experiences can be powerful and affect each person differently, it is essential to consult with a qualified medical or mental health professional before considering any psychedelic use—especially if you have a history of mental health challenges, are taking medications, or have underlying medical conditions.

The services offered here do not include providing or administering psychedelic substances. Rather, this work supports mindful preparation, compassionate presence, and thoughtful integration within ethical, legal, and safety-focused boundaries, honoring each individual’s well-being and inner wisdom. This work is focused on psychological support before and after an experience that may occur in a legal, ceremonial, medical, or personal context.

Preparation sessions help clients clarify their intentions, understand potential emotional and psychological effects, and develop skills for navigating challenging experiences. This may include exploring personal history, current mental health, expectations, fears, and motivations, as well as learning grounding techniques, emotional regulation skills, and strategies for self-care.

Integration sessions take place after a psychedelic experience and focus on processing what emerged. Psychedelic experiences can bring up powerful emotions, insights, memories, or shifts in perspective that may feel confusing or destabilizing without support. Integration helps clients reflect on these experiences, identify meaningful themes, and translate insights into practical changes in daily life, relationships, and personal growth. This process supports emotional stability, self-understanding, and long-term well-being.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-near) energy healing practice that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and well-being. It originated in Japan in the early 20th century and was developed by Mikao Usui, who rediscovered and formalized this approach to energy healing through spiritual study and meditation. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words—rei, meaning universal, and ki, meaning life force energy—reflecting the belief that a vital energy flows through all living beings.

In a Reiki session, the practitioner places hands on or just above the body. This supports the flow of energy, helping to release tension, calm the nervous system, and restore a sense of balance. Reiki was brought to the West in the mid-1900s and has since been incorporated into a variety of wellness and integrative health settings.

Many people experience Reiki as deeply relaxing and centering, often leaving with a greater sense of clarity, connection, and inner peace. While it is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, Reiki can be a supportive complement to therapy and other healing practices, helping to create space for integration, self-awareness, and emotional healing.
