Rooted in evidence-based care and integrative wellness, I empower individuals to embrace their journey from shadow to light. Healing is a courageous act—one of uncovering the self, honoring the parts you’ve buried, numbed, or masked, and transforming them into guides for growth.
Just as a tree begins as a seed, pushing through darkness toward the sun, your story holds the potential for renewal. With compassionate guidance, I help you navigate compacted emotional soil to uncover clarity, wholeness, and the wisdom that blooms from stillness.
Services
Psychotherapy
I utilize a range of evidence-based modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Brainspotting (BSP), expressive art practices, and somatic processing.
Together, we will develop a personalized stress management plan tailored to your unique needs, integrating the polyvagal approach and your personal self-care strategies to foster resilience and well-being.
Sessions are $150 for an hour. You can contact your insurance to see what your copays will be. I am paneled with: Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, Optum, and Medicaid. Sliding scales are a cash for fee service charged at the rate of $100/hr.
Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
KAP intake and psychotherapy services are covered by insurance or available as a private pay option. Ketamine sessions can be conducted individually or in a group setting. KAP is offered to adults ages 18+.
Dosing sessions are offered as a private pay service and require transportation arrangements, as driving is prohibited on dosing days. Telehealth alternatives may be available—please inquire for details.
As part of the process, you will be connected with a licensed ketamine prescriber, complete an intake for services, and receive a prescription for oral ketamine, which you will self-administer on your scheduled dosing day.
Intensives/Retreats
Intensive Retreats
Therapy intensives provide extended sessions designed for deeper healing, focusing on trauma, wellness barriers, and negative belief systems. These sessions offer a space for in-depth exploration while equipping you with tools to resolve trauma, enhance motivation, and overcome creative blocks.
Techniques may include yoga, sound healing, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), eye movements, bilateral stimulation, meditation, expressive arts, and cognitive restructuring. Each intensive is fully customized to meet your individual needs.
Pricing & Scheduling:
*Therapy intensives are offered at $100 per hour.
*A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your session.
*You may reschedule once, if needed.
*The remaining balance is due on the day of the session.
Keep in mind that six hours of intensive work can be equivalent to six weeks of traditional therapy (one hour per week), offering a powerful opportunity for transformation. These retreats can be customized to take place over 1–3 consecutive days to fit your needs and schedule.
