Psychotherapy, Trauma Recovery, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
In-person sessions in Santa Cruz, or virtually throughout California.
Welcome.
I’m glad you’re here. Whether you’re seeking recovery from trauma, alleviation of anxiety or depression, wanting to find more meaning in your life or satisfaction in your relationships, I’m here for it! I offer free 15 minute consultations to help you determine if I’m the right fit for you.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal. And it’s never too late to form new neural pathways, to deepen your relationship to yourself and others, and shape the way you emerge into the next season of your life. More about my offerings can be found below.
Mental health care is ultimately community-care. When we heal ourselves, there is a ripple effect upon our loved ones, our lineage, and the planet. I encourage you to follow your instinct to take this important journey!
Offerings
-
Individual and Family Therapy
Whether you’re seeking personal growth or wanting to attend with a partner or family member, I can help you begin to heal past wounds and develop healthier communication strategies. I welcome all parts of you as we begin to explore what’s getting in the way of your wellbeing, and create a roadmap to greater mental health.
-
Complex Trauma Recovery
Chronic relational wounding creates deeply held patterns of nervous system distress. My interventions explore thought patterns— and go beyond them to reach the limbic (emotional) region of your brain, for lasting change. It is possible to break the cycles of shame, perfectionism, and hopelessness that can result from neglectful or abusive childhoods.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
KAP can help eligible patients engage in deep therapeutic work, addressing underlying attachment, addiction, anxiety, spiritual, somatic, existential, trauma/PTSD, and relationship issues. When insights from a ketamine session are processed and integrated with therapeutic support, sustained improvements in your mental health are possible.
