Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

  • ketamine is utilized for treatment-resistant depression and OCD
  • unlike IV ketamine clinics, I provide therapeutic support during the medication meeting as well as specialized follow-up that integrates the ketamine experience with broader mental health goals

EMDR

  • a structured, somatic therapy for reducing and reprocessing traumatic memories
  • EMDR tends to create relief within 3-5 meetings for single-incident trauma
  • EMDR can also be used with complex trauma, often in conjunction with other therapies, over the long-term

My primary professional influences:

  • Interpersonal Process Approach (a model that integrates dynamic, attachment, and family systems theories) described by Edward Teyber
  • Narrative Therapy community
  • various sexual health educators and clinicians
  • please see my more detailed post about treatment theory

Two people facing a similar problem may heal differently. Accordingly, a large part of my job is helping clients discern their own experiences and resources while offering additional options and context
