Psychotherapy Services
Over the years, I have had the privilege of training with some experts in the field of trauma healing. Through their guidance, and in applying my own personal style, I offer integrated cutting edge treatment using the following psychotherapy treatment modalities
-
EMDR Psychotherapy
Over the past few decades, research has supported how Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy can help engage our brains' natural self-healing abilities and finally resolve the disturbing parts of old memories so people can have a more accurate experience of safety in the here and now.
-
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a comprehensive treatment modality developed by Peter Levine that helps naturally release symptoms of stress or shock that are stuck in the body (in the form of fight, flight, or freeze) so that people can restore their natural balance and enhance resiliency.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
People with PTSD and depression often describe a “rigidity” in their pattern of thinking. Ketamine facilitates new learning because the medicine enhances neuroplasticity. When this medicine is woven into a treatment plan with a safe, supportive therapist, the “new learning” from KAP sessions can create relieving lasting change.
“The mental anguish and relational distress we experience is usually the result of having lost contact with this true self because of what others have done to us at some point in our lives.
The hurt may have been in early childhood- perhaps inflicted by someone whose job it was to protect us. It may be trauma that lives in our body in the form of chronic pain or sleep disturbance.
No one can say for certain how covid has impacted us human beings, but I also strive to help you figure out how to unburden your body and mind from the impact of this global pandemic.”
Whatever the reason for seeking help from me, I assure you that I will respect whatever feelings you have about what you experienced in your life. As trauma expert Bessel Van Der Kolk says, “It takes enormous trust and courage to allow yourself to remember.” I have deep empathy for your story as well as genuine motivation to help you heal.
