Areas Of Focus and Specialties
I believe that our attachment styles and the homes we grow up in impact our lives far beyond what we are aware of- being intentional about working through these issues allow us to shed trauma-developed coping skills that are not serving us anymore. People-pleasing/fawning, saturation in diet culture, and the lack of cultural proficiency by the Boomer generation is not making the world an easy place to navigate, especially if you are the sandwich generation, raising children and taking care of elderly parents.

"In emotionally immature households, children are often expected to be small, agreeable, and easy to manage. Big feelings become dangerous. Vulnerability becomes weakness. Needing something from a parent is seen as selfish or dramatic.
But here's the truth: the problem wasn't your emotions. The problem was that your parents couldn't handle theirs..."

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) offers a powerful and promising approach to healing for those struggling with treatment-resistant PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, KAP combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine—a legal, FDA-approved medication—with guided psychotherapy to access deeper layers of the psyche and promote lasting change.
KAP can help quiet the nervous system and reduce the emotional charge around traumatic memories. Ketamine creates a window of neuroplasticity—where the brain is more open to forming new connections—which supports the reprocessing of trauma in a way that feels safer and less overwhelming. Many clients report gaining new perspectives, feeling less reactive, and experiencing more emotional freedom from their past.
In cases of chronic or treatment-resistant depression, ketamine can rapidly reduce symptoms, often within hours to days. It works differently from typical antidepressants, offering relief even when other methods have failed. Combined with psychotherapy, this relief creates an opening to explore underlying emotional wounds, reconnect with meaning, and begin moving out of numbness and despair.
KAP can ease the grip of chronic worry and hypervigilance by quieting overactive thought patterns and helping the body relax into a state of safety. The ketamine experience often fosters a sense of peace, perspective, and insight that can be profoundly calming and transformative when integrated in a therapeutic setting.
In therapy, ketamine becomes a catalyst—not a cure. It's the safe, supported space of psychotherapy that helps clients process what arises, make meaning from their experience, and integrate those insights into daily life. The goal isn’t just symptom relief, but a deeper sense of clarity, connection, and inner resilience.
