I have worked in a variety of treatment center and private practice settings. I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, Somatic Experiencing™ Practitioner (SEP), and Certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) therapist. Through collaboration with Journey Medical, I am also able to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I may use a variety of body-oriented techniques like trauma informed yoga and touch work to treat attachment issues, complex and developmental trauma, shock-trauma, family of origin issues, somatic issues such as autoimmune disease and chronic pain, codependency, anxiety, depression, sex addiction, and betrayal trauma.

I truly believe that many of our issues are in our tissues.so I combine a top-down and bottom-up approach that integrates body work into treatment. Reaching out for help can be difficult. I’m glad you’re here and invite you reach out to see if I am the right therapist for you.

Treatment Modalities

Low Dose Ketamine Assisted EMDR Therapy ^(TM)

Low Dose Ketamine Assisted EMDR Therapy (TM)

Both ketamine and EMDR work on memory reconsolidation, the brain’s innate mechanism by which new learning experiences directly revise and update existing memories acquired in prior learning. Used together in an empirically tested protocol, these modalities compliment one another, updating old, stagnant memories and core beliefs into more adaptive ones. Ketamine enhances the EMDR process by drawing on each person’s subconscious healing intelligence and softening the troubling memory or belief, making it more approachable for us to work with.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is psychotherapy that is enhanced with the use of Ketamine. The medicine works structurally in the brain to increase neuroplasticity by dissociating the neural connections involved in rumination, negative self talk, and maladaptive thought processes, allowing new, more adaptive neural connections to form. KAP can open a dialogue with one's subconscious and help lower one's defenses to explore and create new behaviors/patterns/core beliefs about self, others, and the world with a new sense of clarity and insights. KAP is often a 3-6 month treatment protocol. It is not a quick fix, although it is an incredible tool for jump-starting healing. The "magic" of Ketamine doesn't end with the experience itself, It is within the therapeutic process that true and lasting transformation occurs.

Somatic Experiencing^TM

The founder of Somatic Experiencing^TM, Peter Levine says that “Trauma lies in the nervous system, not the event.” Each person’s response to grief and trauma is different, and for many, there are no words to describe the experience or impact.

Somatic Experiencing^TM is largely based on Polyvagal Theory and we work with the Vagus Nerve to move an individual's nervous system out of a state of fight, flight, freeze, or appease, to a more socially engaged, regulated state. SE^TM is a bottom-up approach to treating trauma using the body's physiological and sensory responses to distress and goes where words cannot take us on our path to recovery

Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

Safe and Sound Protocol™ is a listening therapy that accesses and stimulates the Vagus Nerve through the inner ear. SSP utilizes algorithmically altered music that filters out frequencies that do not fall within the frequency range of the human voice. Both high frequencies and low frequencies are filtered out because both can signal danger. The prosodic, melodic sound of the middle frequencies can mimic the sound of a loving caregiver’s lullaby or coo. This specially filtered music moves the nervous system out of a defense (fight, flight, freeze) state and activates the socially engaged (ventral vagal) state of safety and relaxation. With continued listening it can help clients orient to the sounds of safety in all environments.

Talk Therapy and CBT

Talk therapy helps individuals understand and manage their emotions, develop coping strategies, and improve overall wellbeing. Talk therapy can address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma. CBT is a specific type of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and that by modifying destructive thoughts, individuals can improve their emotional and behavioral responses.

EMDR

A series of five eye types with different colors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based approach designed to help clients heal from traumatic memories and distressing life experiences. The process includes the therapist helping the client recall distressing memories, while engaging in bilateral stimulation through guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues. This process helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity. This enables the client to integrate the memories in a healthier way.
