In psychotherapy we identify, process, and work through troubling thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences. As an integrative therapist, I utilize a wide range of techniques and philosophies that are catered uniquely to you. Sessions focus on assisting you with cultivating the insight, skills and lifestyle practices to support your growth. I believe that our hardest experiences are our greatest opportunities for growth and wisdom. When we start living in alignment with self-love, health, and our personal values, we create the space for healing to occur.

Breathwork is a healing modality that combines rhythmic diaphragmatic breathing and attention to the body and sensation, to elicit transformation. During this practice, breathing patterns are used to release stored physical and emotional tension, which can facilitate healing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. On a psychological level, breathwork facilitates the relase of stored trauma in the subconscious mind. On a physical level, breathwork stimulates the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Please check out my blog on his topic if you're interested in learning more about the benefits.

Spiritual Counseling offers support for those looking to discover, connect with, and strengthen spiritual beliefs and practices that support their well-being. The goal of this type of counseling is to support you with enhancing your spiritual identity, awareness and overall self-development. Defining and connecting to our personal spirituality can be one of the most powerful aspects of healing and recovery. I welcome all beliefs, practices and traditions that feel authentic to you.

During preparation, I will inquire about your expectations, motivations, questions, and concerns, and share information to help you get the most out of your experience. I will also support you with intention-setting, and teach you helpful skills to use before and during your experience. Integration sessions support you with processing your experience, making meaning, coping with any apparent ambiguity or difficulty, and understanding how to implement what you learned into your daily life. I also offer suggestions of different therapeutic and reflective practices that support the integration process outside of therapy. The long-term goals of integration are learning how to “Do Different” and “Be Different”. These sessions help you to embody your growth after doing deep inner work.

I have extensive experience facilitating therapy groups, workshops at events, and professional trainings for organizations. I create a safe and structured container for group process, and you can find some examples of my past group work listed below:

During ketamine-assisted sessions, I support with preparation, guidance during, and integration after working with this medicine. I am partnered with psychiatrists and medical staff who safely screen for, administer and monitor IV Ketamine treatment. I do not personally provide any psychoactive or controlled substances, and I do not provide referrals to any “underground” or illegal psychedelic services. If you have questions about whether this treatment may be right for you, please check out my blog on the topic or reach out for a consultation.
