THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS I OFFER MY SUPPORT SERVICES; FROM TRADITIONAL, ONGOING PSYCHOTHERAPY TO SHORT-TERM PSYCHEDELIC GUIDANCE, OR DROP-IN YOGA THERAPY WORKSHOPS.
Individual Psychotherapy
My practice orientation is focused on the here-and-now; we will explore aspects of how past adaptations live on in the present, interfering with current creative, spontaneous, and adaptive functioning. In our work, we will seek to find the balance between accepting what we had to do to adapt to past circumstances, and heightening our awareness of the fuller range of possibilities that are available in the present moment. Our goal will be to work towards greater integration of mind and body, so its focus is on the interplay between the cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of the self. Such therapeutic work is predicated on the belief that when we meet in the present moment with fullness and openness, with genuine and unreserved acceptance, we create the ground from which healing can take place. In addition to traditional talk-based therapy, I also offer specialized therapeutic services integrated with other experiential modalities.
Ketamine-Assisted psychotherapy
Ketamine has been shown to be an effective medicine for improving symptoms of depression and anxiety through its capacity to widen the container and feel more distance from thoughts and sensations, alongside increasing neuroplasticity in the brain that can serve as a catalyst for behavioral change. When used in the therapy room, it can lead to deeper insights through connection to your inner healer. These experiences are then processed during integration sessions. You will be referred to an outside medical provider for assessment and prescription to determine fit.
Psychedelic preparation & integratioN
I provide psychedelic prep and integration sessions for those who are seeking guidance in preparing for and integrating insights of their psychedelic journeys outside of the therapy room. Prep sessions include intention setting, identifying integral aspects of set and setting for a meaningful journey, and other practical tools to prepare for non-ordinary states of consciousness safely. Integration sessions support in processing psychedelic experiences and building on them in the weeks that follow. I do not provide or administer any illicit substances; this work is done under a harm reduction context.
