Three modalities. One intention: to help you access what’s most real in you, and let that become the foundation from which you live.
KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY
For when conventional approaches have taken you as far as they can.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the neurological effects of ketamine — a legal, carefully administered medicine — with intentional psychotherapeutic work before, during, and after each session.
What ketamine does, in simple terms, is quiet the “default mode network” — the part of the mind that keeps you looping on familiar stories or patterns. In that quieter state, the psyche has room to move differently. Old patterns lose their grip. New perspectives become accessible. And the therapeutic relationship has an unusual depth and intimacy.
This isn’t a quick fix or a pharmaceutical shortcut. It’s a carefully held experience designed to create conditions for real, lasting change.
People with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, or OCD who haven’t found sufficient relief through other approaches. People who sense that their struggle has roots that talk therapy alone hasn’t been able to reach. People who are ready to meet themselves at a deeper level and do the integration work that makes the experience meaningful over time.
We begin with thorough preparation sessions — exploring your history, intentions, and what you’re hoping to access. During the ketamine experience, I’m present with you throughout. Afterward, we do structured integration work to help you metabolize insights and translate them into lasting change.
All medical oversight — including prescriptions and clinical follow-up — is managed by my partner medical teams.
SOMATIC & PARTS-BASED THERAPY
Hakomi · IFS
The body doesn’t lie. It knows things the mind has forgotten.
Hakomi and Internal Family Systems (IFS) share a fundamental orientation: the psyche is not a problem to be solved, but a system to be understood. Both approaches work beneath the narrative mind — one through the body, the other through the architecture of parts — to surface what’s actually organizing your experience.
Hakomi is a body-centered, mindfulness-based method developed by Ron Kurtz that works at the intersection of somatic awareness, Buddhist psychology, and experiential therapy. It’s precise, gentle, and often remarkably effective at surfacing material that years of talk therapy haven’t touched.
The premise is elegant: the body carries unconscious beliefs as physical patterns — tension, posture, breath, gesture. Hakomi-trained therapists learn to read these patterns and work with them directly, helping clients drop beneath the narrative mind into the felt sense of experience.
In practice, this might look like slowing down to notice a subtle tightening in the chest. Staying with a sensation until it reveals something. Exploring an impulse that’s never been allowed to complete itself. It’s slow, careful, and surprisingly rich work.
Roots and influences: Hakomi integrates principles from Buddhism and Taoism — particularly mindfulness, non-violence, and the cultivation of loving presence — with contemporary somatic and systems theory. My training in Contemplative Psychotherapy at Naropa University deepened this foundation considerably.
Hakomi · Somatic Psychotherapy
Internal Family Systems, developed by Richard Schwartz, understands the psyche as a system of parts, each with its own protective function and history. There is also something beneath the parts — a quality of awareness and presence called Self — that can hold and heal them.
IFS work involves getting to know these parts with curiosity rather than judgment — understanding what they’re protecting, what they’ve been carrying, and what they need. As the relationship between Self and the parts shifts, so does the experience of being you.
In practice, IFS and Hakomi work well together: IFS provides a framework for identifying and relating to parts, while Hakomi’s somatic attunement brings that work into the body, where the deepest integration happens.

PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION
The experience opened a door. Integration is learning to live through it.
A profound non-ordinary experience — whether intentional or unexpected — can reorganize your inner world in ways that are difficult to articulate and challenging to integrate into daily life. The insights feel clear in the moment. But without support, they can fade, become confusing, or even destabilizing.
Psychedelic integration is the process of making meaning from these experiences — metabolizing what you encountered, understanding its relationship to your life, and allowing the reorganization to settle into something from which you can actually live.
I’ve been working with altered states since 2016, both personally and professionally. I bring clinical rigor, spiritual fluency, and lived experience—and I help you translate what you’ve experienced into something that fits your real life.
Preparation and intention setting for your upcoming experience. Processing and meaning-making after an experience. Somatic and mindfulness-based practices to support integration. Ongoing therapeutic work to help translate insight into embodied change.
PATH FITS?
Most clients work with more than one of these approaches over time. The entry point matters less than the commitment to the work. Reach out — we’ll talk through what makes sense for where you are.
